Save Money on Water Storage: Find Quality Used IBC Totes in Lubbock

Why this matters to you: You can save 60-80% on water storage by buying used IBC totes instead of new ones. In Lubbock, you'll find 275-gallon and 330-gallon containers starting at just $10.

What You'll Save

New IBC totes cost $200-400 each. Used ones cost $10-60. That's huge savings for the same storage capacity.

Here's what you'll pay:

• Basic used totes: $10-25 each
• Cleaned totes: $25-45 each
• Food-safe totes: $40-60 each

Two Main Sizes Available

275-gallon totes are most common. They're 4 feet wide, 3 feet deep, and 4 feet tall. Perfect for most farms and businesses.

330-gallon totes are taller but same footprint. Choose these if you need more water in the same floor space.

Both come with:

• 6-inch top opening for filling
• 2-inch bottom valve for draining
• Steel cage for protection

What Condition Should You Buy?

"As-is" totes cost least but need cleaning. Good if you have time and cleaning supplies.

Cleaned totes are ready to use. Someone already scrubbed out the old contents.

Food-grade totes are triple-cleaned and safe for drinking water. Essential if you'll store water for people or animals.

Before You Buy

Ask these questions:

• What was stored in this tote before?
• Can I see it before paying?
• Do you deliver or do I pick up?
• What's your return policy?

Avoid totes that held:

• Pesticides
• Chemicals
• Anything toxic

Look for totes that held:

• Food ingredients
• Soap
• Water-based liquids

Smart Buying Tips

Start with one tote to test your supplier. If it's good quality, order more.

Inspect the valve by turning it. It should move smoothly and seal tight.

Check the cage for rust or bent bars. Small dents are fine, but avoid big damage.

Smell inside. Strong chemical odors mean more cleaning needed.

Getting Your Totes Home

These weigh 130 pounds empty. You'll need:

• Truck or trailer

• Forklift if buying many
