Recycle IBC Tanks You No Longer Need
Send us the details of your used tanks. A partner recycler or reconditioner in our network follows up about reuse, reconditioning or recycling.
Reuse First, Then Recycle
Reuse
Clean, sound tanks can go back into service, which avoids building a new one.
Recondition
A sound cage can take a new bottle and valve.
Recycle
Steel cages and HDPE bottles can be separated and recycled.
Keeping Tanks Out of the Landfill
An IBC tank is mostly galvanized steel and high-density polyethylene, two materials that are widely recycled. Reusing a tank, or recycling its parts, keeps it out of the landfill.
What can happen to a given tank depends on its condition and what it held, so include that in your request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about this page.
What happens to recycled tanks?
Tanks in good shape are usually reused or reconditioned. Others are taken apart: the steel cage and the plastic bottle can each be recycled.
Can tanks that held chemicals be recycled?
Often, after proper cleaning. Say what the tanks held; requirements depend on the product, so check current regulations and ask the recycler.
Do I get paid for recycling?
Sometimes. Reusable tanks may have value; damaged ones may carry a charge. The partner supplier explains in its quote.
Can I get paperwork for my records?
Ask the partner recycler what documentation it provides.
