A snapshot of typical stock levels.
The catalog rotates daily. What's below is representative of an average week — actual quantities at any moment shift with inbound buy-backs and outbound deliveries.
~340 used 275-gallon HDPE totes across Grades B, C, and D. The largest single category in the yard at any time. Mostly drained from clean industrial fills — soaps, glycols, lubricants, neutral chemistry. Ready to ship same week.
~120 used 330-gallon HDPE totes. A smaller pool because the 330 is less common in the donor stream. Same grade distribution as 275s.
~80 reconditioned Grade A totes (mix of 275 and 330). These are the food-contact line — tri-stage washed, fresh gasket, chain-of-custody tagged. Lead time when stock runs out is 5–10 business days through our dedicated Grade A wash queue.
~45 composite-caged IBCs. Steel inner shell, HDPE coating. For chemistries that permeate plain HDPE. Lead time on UN-certified composites can extend if your specific markings aren't currently in stock.
~15 stainless 275s and 330s. 304L and 316L. Slowest-moving category but consistently in demand. Most are new (we don't recondition stainless because the resale market doesn't justify the labor).
~200 accessories on the shelf — valves, S-thread adapters, cam-locks, gaskets, lids, pumps. The boring inventory that keeps a job site from stalling.
~25 finished custom builds at any time — rain catchers, raised beds, mash tuns. Mostly to-order, some on display in our showroom corner.
Which product family is right for which application.
| Application | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk water storage | Used 275 or 330 (Grade C/D) | Non-potable; cheapest qualifying option |
| Beverage hold | Reconditioned Grade A 275 | Tri-stage washed + chain of custody |
| Edible oil transfer | Reconditioned Grade A 275 or 330 | Same; size depends on batch volume |
| Glycol storage | Used 275 (Grade B) | Clean industrial fits Grade B |
| Industrial soap concentrate | Used or reconditioned (Grade B) | Grade B is the cost-effective sweet spot |
| Mineral acid 30%+ | Composite caged | HDPE doesn't tolerate at that concentration |
| Solvents (aromatic) | Composite caged | Permeation risk in plain HDPE |
| Hot fill > 158 °F | Stainless or composite | HDPE softens above 158 °F |
| Rainwater capture | Used 275 (Grade D) | Non-potable Grade D is the right cost |
| Brewing hot liquor tank | Reconditioned Grade A 330 + insulation | Grade A for food contact, 330 for volume |
| Pharmaceutical feedstock | New tote | USP regulatory requires virgin HDPE traceability |
| Hazmat manifested | Composite + UN 31HA1/Y marking | Required by regulation |
If you only read one section.
- 01The decision tree is short: chemistry + temperature + regulatory determine the family; volume + frequency determine the size; price + lead time determine the grade.
- 0270% of buyers end up at reconditioned 275 (Grade A or B). It's the workhorse for a reason.
- 03Accessories matter more than buyers expect. A $9 adapter or a $14 valve solves more job-site problems than a new tote ever will.
- 04We're honest about when new is the right call. Pharma, hot-fill, and certain solvents — we'll route you to new without selling against ourselves.
- 05Lead time is the silent feature. Same-week shipping is part of the value proposition, not a bonus.
