Sell us your IBCs. We pay cash, pick up, and the math is simple.

What we pay

Pricing depends on previous contents, visual condition, cage and pallet condition, valve condition, and the quantity. Some rough ranges:

• Food / beverage history, A-grade condition: $40–$65 each.
• Food-compatible industrial (soap, mild ag chemistry), B-grade: $20–$40 each.
• General industrial (paint base, lubricants), C-grade: $8–$20 each.
• Damaged cages but salvageable bottles: $4–$10 each (we recage in-house).
• Cage-only (bottle done): $3–$6 each (we recombine).

Volume bumps these — over 25 units, we'll often round up. Free pickup over 12 units within ~150 miles; under that, we deduct pickup cost.

What we don't buy

Anything that previously held:

• Chlorinated solvents (trichloroethylene, perc, etc.)
• Isocyanates
• Strong acids or bases above 30%
• Pesticides not on the EPA tote-reuse list
• Fuels, hydraulic fluid, anti-freeze
• Anything unlabeled — if you don't know what was in it, we have to assume the worst

The pickup logistics

• Where: Anywhere in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. Other states case-by-case.
• How: Our flatbed runs Mon–Wed; box truck Tue–Thu. We confirm a window the day before.
• Loading: We bring our own forklift driver. If you have a dock, we use it; if not, we ramp-load.
• Paperwork: Bill of sale on pickup; check or ACH on the spot or within 48 hours.

Why sell to us instead of just paying for disposal

Tote disposal at a transfer station typically costs $35–$60 per unit. Selling them to us costs you $0 and pays you anywhere from $8 to $65 each. Net swing per tote is often $50–$120. For a 40-unit clear-out, that's a real number.

Plus, the tote doesn't end up in a landfill. We don't need that to be the reason you sell — but we like that it's the consequence.
