Same form, every page. Tell us once — we route it to whoever's closest to your tote.
Your tanks come home cleaner than new.
You keep ownership; we keep them moving. Send us 10 or 1,000 totes — we run them through hot rinse, caustic wash, neutral rinse, potable polish, gasket replacement, and chain-of-custody tagging. Return shipment included in the per-unit price.
Most clients ship us a full truckload on a quarterly cycle and budget the service against the cost of buying new at replacement rate. The math is brutal in favor of toll wash.
$28 – $42 per tank
Range covers wash level (B vs A), valve / gasket replacement, and return freight zone. Quarterly contracts step down further.
Talk to ops →Why send to us vs run your own line?
A real wash bay is $180k+ in equipment plus water permits. Toll-wash skips it entirely.
We're certified on tri-stage wash and stay current with the EPA WARM updates so you don't have to.
Two wash bays running at our yard process ~85 tanks/day. Most in-house lines do 12.
How a typical contract runs
- You book a quarterly slot (90-day cycle) with our routing team
- We send a 53' trailer to your yard on the agreed date — we handle loading if your forklift availability is tight
- Inbound tanks arrive at our intake bay, prior-fill documentation reviewed
- 72–96 hours of wash line, depending on prior fills
- Tagged, palletized, loaded back onto outbound trailer
- Return shipment to your facility — you get a single invoice for the cycle
Tracking & paperwork
Every tank carries the same chain-of-custody tag as our retail stock. You receive a per-cycle manifest in PDF and CSV with each tank's inbound condition, wash level, gasket replacement, and tag number. Audit trail is searchable for two years.
The math of outsourcing wash.
Capex. A real wash bay — captured drain, hot water, caustic chemistry, RO rinse, neutralization tank — costs $180,000-$250,000 in equipment plus permits and water rights. Most facilities running tote fleets don't have that line item.
Operating cost. Two wash bay operators, water, chemistry, and electricity run another $14,000-$22,000 per month at our scale. At small scale the math is worse because you can't amortize the operators over enough throughput.
Compliance overhead. Wash chemistry permits, neutralization tank inspections, RO system maintenance, OSHA training for the operators — somebody has to own these. At our scale it's a known full-time job.
Throughput. Our two-bay yard can process 75-90 tanks per day at peak. Most in-house wash bays at non-specialist facilities run 8-12 tanks per day. The throughput gap shows up everywhere — lead time, downtime risk, capacity for surge.
Toll pricing. $28-$42 per tank, return freight included within Tier 1. For a facility running 200+ tanks per year, that's $5,600-$8,400 a year for wash — versus six-figure capex and a recurring full-time position to run an in-house bay.
