Sometimes the availability of new drums exceeds the availability of reconditioned drums. A1) The need for reconditioned drums is to help drive the cost per unit down. New drums are certainly acceptable, but are much more costly. Reconditioned drums are readily and steadily available. The major environmental waste transporters predominately use reconditioned drums. Q2) Will there be set colors for these drums? A2) Black is the default color for metal drums, and black is preferred. As long as they meet regulatory requirements, and are not yellow, then color is not of our concern. Q3) If we are sending in mixed loads, how is the crew going to be able to easily pull out the type of drum they need? A3) The crew uses a forklift or a pallet jack to move the drums while a trailer is parked at their loading dock.
