Save Money on Storage: Buy Used IBC Totes in Plano, TX

You'll save 30-70% on storage costs when you buy used IBC totes instead of new ones. These large containers hold 275-330 gallons and work great for water, chemicals, and other liquids.

What Are IBC Totes?

IBC stands for Intermediate Bulk Container. Think of them as big plastic tanks inside metal cages. They're like giant milk jugs but much stronger.

Size: About 4 feet wide, 4 feet long, and 4 feet tall

Capacity: 275 gallons (most common) or 330 gallons

Weight: Around 140 pounds when empty

Why Buy Used?

Example: A new IBC tote costs $400-600. A used one costs $40-100. That's real money saved.

You get the same storage capacity. The container still holds liquids safely. The metal cage protects it from damage.

Food-Grade Used: Cleaned and safe for food products. Price: $85-100 each
