Used Steel Barrels: Used steel barrels are cost-effective for less important applications. These barrels are suitable for shipping and storing non-hazardous items because they have been examined and cleaned. Used barrels come with open or closed tops, giving you storage options.

Food Grade Metal Barrels: Safe and health-compliant food grade metal barrels store goods. Just like non-toxic plastic barrels, these barrels are ideal for food and beverage companies since they prevent contamination and preserve contents. When buying barrels for your business, check the food grade certification.

New Metal Drums: For delicate and high-purity applications, new metal drums are the cleanest and safest and are used for shipping and storing chemicals, medicines, and other hazardous materials. They come in different sizes, and lined versions are offered when extra protection against corrosion is needed.

60 Gallon Steel Drums: These larger drums can store and transport more than 55-Gallon drums. These drums are as strong as 55-gallon drums but handle more volume. Like 55 gallon plastic drums, they can be new or used depending on price and needs.

Metal Drums and Barrels FAQs

How do I properly dispose of used drums?

It depends on what was stored in them and the rules where you live. If they held chemicals, they’ll need to be cleaned out or decontaminated first. After that, check with local waste or recycling services — they’ll tell you the right way to get rid of them.

Can I order custom-labeled drums?

Yes. We can add labels with your company name, logo, or handling instructions. That way the drums show your brand and workers know how they should be used.

Do the drums follow UN/DOT rules?

Yes. The drums we sell meet UN and DOT standards, which means they’re cleared for transporting and storing hazardous or non-hazardous goods safely.

Does a steel drum need to be recertified for UN/DOT Compliance when steel plugs are replaced with fusible plugs?

Yes. Changing the type of plug affects how the drum is tested. If you switch to fusible plugs, the drum has to go through recertification to stay compliant.

Can you put food in steel drums?

They can, but only if they’re food-grade. Those are made and tested to meet food safety standards so there’s no risk of contamination.
