EPA Approved Collection

Licenced to manage contaminated drums, our collection service will help you meet your obligations under the Environmental Protections Act. Our national collection service can recondition all brands of drums to provide you with sustainable, cost-effective management of used Drums.

Supporting our extensive drum manufacturing capabilities, we offer EPA approved reconditioning for contaminated (used packaging with residual waste) drums.

Collection fees and minimum quantities may apply.
