Services

IBC Totes Pro is a referral service. Tell us what you need done with totes — bought, washed, moved or recycled — and the request is passed to partner suppliers in our network, who quote and do the work. Requests are welcome from across the United States; availability depends on partner suppliers.

How a request works
- 01
Send a request
Use the quote form to describe the totes, the quantity, the prior content, the location and what you need done. One request can cover several services.
- 02
We pass it to partner suppliers
Your request goes to partner suppliers in our network who handle that kind of work.
- 03
A partner supplier follows up
The supplier asks any questions it needs and sends a quote with its own prices, terms and timing.
- 04
You decide
There is no obligation. Any agreement is between you and the partner supplier.
One request can cover all four.
Tell us what you need, what you have sitting empty and where it all is. A partner supplier follows up with a quote.
Which service fits which problem
Most requests describe a symptom rather than a service. This is the translation table.
| Your problem | Where to start |
|---|---|
| We need totes | Product types |
| Empties are piling up behind the building | Sell your totes |
| Our own totes are dirty | Reconditioning & washing |
| Our cages are fine but the bottles are not food-safe | Rebottling |
| Freight is eating the savings | Freight & logistics |
| These totes are genuinely finished | Recycling & disposal |
| We need to understand UN markings or rules | Regulations guide |
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers.
Why it helps to look at buying, washing and disposal together
Many sites treat buying totes, washing them and getting rid of empties as three separate jobs, often owned by three different people.
Looking at them together tends to show where money goes: new totes bought while sound cages sit unused, empties paid for as waste when they could be sold, and two truck movements where one would do.
You can describe the whole picture in one request. Partner suppliers can say which parts they can help with.
Questions about requesting a quote
Is there a contract?
Sending a request costs nothing and carries no obligation. Any agreement is between you and the partner supplier.
What are the payment terms?
Payment terms are set by the partner supplier and stated in its quote.
Can a supplier work to our own specification?
Include the specification in your request. Partner suppliers can say whether they can meet it.
Can you handle hazardous waste?
IBC Totes Pro does not handle waste. Residues need a licensed route where required; a partner supplier can say whether it can help. Check current regulations.
Who will I be dealing with?
Your request goes to partner suppliers in our network, and a partner supplier follows up directly. There is no phone line; the quote form is the way to reach us.
Practical questions
Can one request cover several services?
Yes. Describe everything in one request — totes you need, empties to sell, units to wash or recycle — and partner suppliers can say which parts they can quote.
Can delivery or collection happen outside normal hours?
Ask in your request. It depends on the partner supplier and the carrier.
Is there a minimum quantity?
Minimums vary by partner supplier and by service. Single totes can be requested, though freight makes small quantities relatively expensive per unit.
Does IBC Totes Pro do the work itself?
No. IBC Totes Pro is a referral service. Quotes and work come from partner suppliers in our network.
