What happens to unusable drums?
Unusable drums are processed as scrap metal or pulp, ensuring zero-landfill outcomes.
Can I set recurring recycling pickups?
We can establish weekly, biweekly, or monthly pickup routes based on your generation rate.
How should drums be staged for pickup?
Place drums upright on a pallet near dock or ground-level access; keep bungs installed to prevent residual leaks.
