You save serious money. A new 275-gallon container costs $185. A used one in good condition costs just $28-$50. That's like getting three containers for the price of one new one.
Used containers work just as well as new ones. The thick plastic bottle sits inside a protective steel cage. With proper care, these containers last 10-15 years.
Basic used containers ($28): Good for non-food liquids like cleaning supplies or industrial chemicals. May have some staining but structurally sound.
Cleaned containers ($50): Triple-rinsed and ready to use. Safe for food-grade liquids when properly certified.
Like-new containers ($125): Reconditioned with new parts if needed. Look and work like new containers.
Example: A landscaping company bought 10 used containers at $35 each instead of new ones at $185 each. They saved $1,500 while getting the same storage capacity.
