What we're paying this quarter.
| Tank type | Per-unit pay |
|---|---|
| 275 gal HDPE, valve intact, prior food/clean ind. | $40 – $65 |
| 275 gal HDPE, valve broken or missing | $25 – $40 |
| 330 gal HDPE, valve intact, prior food/clean ind. | $55 – $85 |
| 330 gal HDPE, valve broken or missing | $35 – $55 |
| Composite or stainless IBC | Quote — varies widely |
| Damaged bottle, repairable cage | $5 – $15 (fabrication stock) |
Volume matters: pickups over 20 tanks earn the top of each range. Yard drop-offs save us a truck and come in higher too.
The honest checklist.
- Drained, valve closed (some residue is fine)
- Cage straight, no broken welds (bent is okay)
- Bottle intact — no through-cracks
- Prior-fill paperwork available if possible
- Pallet still under it (we bring replacements either way)
- Tanks with prior fills we can't identify (refer to disposal partner)
- Hazmat residue without manifest
- Anything previously holding agricultural or industrial pesticides without triple-rinse documentation
- Tanks with bottle through-cracks (recycler scrap only)
The journey of a tank from your dock to ours.
Day of pickup. Our driver verifies count and condition against the photos you sent. They scan each tank's prior-fill paperwork if available. Any condition surprises get noted and we'll discuss before we leave (we don't pull stunts at pickup).
The trailer ride. Tanks are strapped one-stack indoors (we don't outdoor-stack on backhauls), pallets aligned for forklift unload at our yard. Average trailer carries 28-32 inbound tanks from a single pickup.
Intake at the yard. Tanks unload into the intake stack zone behind the building. Each tank gets a yellow ribbon and an intake card — quantity number, prior fill, condition notes, valve type. The intake card is the first entry in the chain-of-custody chain.
Categorization. Within 48 hours of intake, Reyna or one of the wash leads categorizes each tank by likely wash path: Grade A queue, Grade B/C queue, or fabrication. About 8% of tanks go to fab rather than wash because the bottle won't recondition safely.
Payment confirmation. We send a final settlement summary by end of pickup day or first thing the next morning. Payment is ACH or check; you choose at quote time.
