The Full Range
One catalog, the whole life cycle of a tote.
Most suppliers sell you a container and disappear. We think about the tote before you buy it, while you use it, and after it retires. That is why our range runs from graded reconditioned bottles all the way through to the rain barrels and raised beds we build from the totes that can no longer carry industrial product. Nothing falls out of the loop.

Explore →Not Sure Where to Start?
Pick by what you're carrying.
Water, feed, and non-regulated liquids
Start with a reconditioned tote. For agriculture, dust control, car-wash soap, or bulk water storage you rarely need a new bottle. A washed Grade A tote does the job at roughly a third of the cost and a fraction of the footprint.
Food, beverage, and potable water
Ask for food-grade stock on our all totes page. These held only food-safe products, are washed and certified, and are the right call for edible ingredients or drinking water.
New or specialty chemistry
Some formulations, tight audit trails, or brand-new product launches want a first-use tote with no prior contents. We are honest: that is a smaller slice of orders, but it is a real one.
Repairs & retirement
Cracked valve, torn cage, tired gasket? Grab parts and keep the tote alive. Truly done? Turn it into a rain barrel or planter instead of scrap.

From Inquiry to Delivery
How buying from the yard works.
One short conversation puts the right container on your dock. No login, no distributor markup, no guessing about what the tote held before.
02
We match & quote
Within one business day we send a per-tote price, the prior-contents history where it applies, and a delivered total. See how the buying service works end to end.
03
Wash, test, load
Reconditioned orders are triple-washed and pressure-tested before they leave. New totes ship factory-sealed. Everything is palletized and banded for transit.
04
Ship & loop back
We deliver by pallet or full truckload nationwide, and when your totes empty out we buy them back — so the loop closes instead of ending at a landfill.
Who Shops the Yard
Product for every trade that moves liquid.
The same catalog serves a two-tote market garden and a fifty-truck chemical program. Here is where our stock tends to land.
Agriculture
Farms & growers
Liquid fertilizer, irrigation reserves, livestock water, and foliar sprays. Grade B reconditioned totes are the workhorse here; food-grade stock covers anything that touches feed or produce.
Chemical
Blenders & formulators
Detergents, glycols, coatings, and industrial concentrates. Match the gasket elastomer to your chemistry and reach for new UN-rated totes when the audit trail demands zero prior history.
Food & beverage
Breweries & processors
Syrups, oils, juice concentrate, and potable water. Ask for certified food-grade totes that only ever carried edible product, washed and re-certified for reuse.
Facilities
Car wash & fleet
Soap, wax, presoak, and reclaim water. High-volume, non-regulated liquid is the ideal case for the cheapest washed stock we carry.
Municipal
Cities & crews
Dust control, street-sweeper fill, park irrigation, and emergency water caches. Rugged totes and gravity-fed builds both fit here.
Homestead
Off-grid & DIY
Rainwater harvesting, cabins, greenhouses, and preppers. Start with a clean reconditioned tote plus a spigot and adapter.
Clearing the Air
What people get wrong about used totes.
Myth
“A used tote is worn out and near the end of its life.”
Fact
A composite bottle is rated for thousands of fill cycles and a galvanized cage lasts decades. One job barely touches that. Reconditioning captures the years of service still left in the container.
Myth
“You can never know what was inside.”
Fact
We track and disclose prior contents on every tote, and we do not push acutely hazardous, pesticide, or unknown-history totes into general reuse. When in doubt, spec a rebottled Grade A or a new tote.
Myth
“Reconditioned means not food safe.”
Fact
Certified food-grade reconditioned totes exist — they held only food-safe product, then were washed and certified. They are the standard choice for syrup, oil, and potable water.
Myth
“New is always the safer buy.”
Fact
For water, feed, and non-regulated liquids a washed Grade A tote meets spec at a third of the cost and roughly 90% less embodied energy. New earns its place only where chemistry or audit rules demand it.
Questions
Buying totes, answered.
What is the difference between a 275 and a 330 gallon tote?
Both sit on the same 40x48 pallet footprint. A 275 gallon tote is roughly 48x40x46 inches and holds about 1,040 liters; a 330 gallon tote is taller at about 48x40x53 inches and holds about 1,250 liters. The 330 moves more per trip and per fill. Compare them in depth on the 275 vs 330 article.
Do you sell single totes or only truckloads?
Both. We ship single totes by pallet and full loads dock to dock. Per-unit pricing drops as quantity and load fullness rise, so full truckloads are the cheapest way to buy. Tell us your quantity and ZIP for a delivered price.
Can I get parts and a tote in the same order?
Yes. Add valves, caps, adapters, gaskets, cages, or spigots from the accessories catalog to any tote order. Rain-barrel and dispensing builds usually pair a tote with a garden-hose adapter and a brass spigot.
How fast can you ship?
We quote within one business day and stage stock quickly since totes are washed and graded on site. Transit time depends on distance and load size. See our transportation service and nationwide shipping.
What happens to my totes when they are empty?
Sell them back. Our selling service buys empties, reconditions the sound ones, and diverts the rest to recycling or the upcycling workshop. Zero totes go to landfill.
