About Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Supplier & Recycler of Used Plastic Drums
Save Money on Quality Used Plastic Drums in Pittsburgh
What you'll gain: Find reliable 55-gallon plastic drums at 40-60% below new prices, with local suppliers who deliver to your door in Pittsburgh.
Why Buy Used Plastic Drums
You save significant money compared to new drums. A new 55-gallon drum costs $80-120. Used drums cost $35-84 each. That's real savings for your business.
Used drums work just as well as new ones when properly cleaned and inspected. Many companies use them for:
Water storage
Chemical transport
Food ingredients
Industrial materials
What Types Are Available
Open-head drums have removable lids. Think of them like giant buckets. Use these when you need to put solid materials inside or clean them easily.
Tight-head drums are sealed with small openings on top. Picture a large bottle. These work best for liquids.
Food-grade drums are triple-washed and safe for anything you might eat or drink.
Industrial-grade drums may have chemical residues. Only use these for non-food materials.

How Much They Cost

Condition affects price
Food-grade costs more than industrial-grade
