Selling the totes
you no longer need.
Empty totes from a production line, farm or plant are often still useful to someone. Tell us what you have and a partner supplier in our network says whether they can buy or collect them.
What to include
What a buyer needs to know.
- Quantity and size (275, 330 or other)
- What the totes held, with the safety data sheet if you have it
- Condition of bottles, cages, valves and pallets — photos help
- Whether they are drained, and whether they have been rinsed
- Pickup ZIP or postal code and loading access (forklift, dock)
What affects an offer
Why offers vary.
Partner suppliers decide whether to buy, collect for free or charge for collection. These factors usually drive the decision:
- Previous contents: some can be cleaned for reuse, some can’t
- Condition of the cage and bottle
- Quantity and distance, which set the freight cost
- Demand for that size and type at the time
Frequently asked
Questions about selling
Will someone pay for my totes?
Sometimes. It depends on contents, condition, quantity and distance. A partner supplier will tell you whether they can buy, collect or recycle them.
Can you take totes that held hazardous chemicals?
Handling of totes that held hazardous materials is regulated. Describe the contents in your request; the partner supplier will say whether they can accept them. Check current regulations for your situation.
Do I need to clean the totes first?
Drain them fully. Ask the partner supplier whether they want them rinsed; for some contents they’ll prefer to clean them themselves.
