How to Choose the Right Container for Industrial Waste Disposal
When it comes to safely managing industrial waste, choosing the right container is one of the most important steps. The type of waste you’re dealing with — whether it’s liquid, solid, hazardous or non-hazardous — will determine the best container for the job. In this guide, we’ll break down your options and help you pick the right industrial waste containers for your business.
Why the Right Container Matters
Using the correct container ensures your waste is stored, transported and disposed of safely and in line with environmental regulations. It also helps prevent leaks, spills, and contamination on your site. Whether you need hazardous waste barrels for chemicals or reconditioned drums for general industrial use, having the right setup can save you time, money and hassle.
Types of Industrial Waste Containers
Here’s a quick industrial container guide to help you decide what’s right for your site:
-
205L Steel Closed-Top Drums: Ideal for liquids and hazardous materials that need to be fully sealed during transport and disposal.
-
205L Steel Open-Top Drums: Perfect for solid or sludge waste. The removable lid makes them easy to fill and clean.
-
205L Plastic Drums: A lightweight and durable option for both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids.
-
IBC Containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers): Best for bulk liquid waste. These can hold up to 1,000 litres and are great for larger industrial jobs.
