Totes & drums
Collection and revaluation: our IBC tote and drum collection service turns surplus management into a smooth, safe process aligned with your sustainability goals. Every container admitted at our Saint-Léonard facility is assessed, cleaned and inspected before it receives its regulatory marking. You get a unit your teams can put back into service without delay, and without buying new equipment.
We streamline the management of your empty containers with a fast, well-structured pickup service. Whether you need a one-time run or a recurring schedule, our team coordinates the recovery of your used units directly from your loading docks. One contact plans the truck, confirms the inventory with you and makes sure the site is ready on the agreed day, without pulling your operations off task for longer than necessary. Our IBC tote and drum collection covers Greater Montreal and the rest of Quebec depending on the volume to be moved. Handling is done with the right equipment, whether your containers are palletized or not, and we take anything from a few isolated units to several hundred pieces. This reverse-logistics approach frees up warehouse space and removes the operational complexity of post-industrial packaging: no sorting to organize in advance, no transport for you to coordinate.
Scheduling is built around your production calendar. You give us the window that works, we confirm the date and the access constraints, and the truck arrives with the equipment needed for your dock configuration. For recurring accounts, a rotation calendar is set so you never run short between deliveries. We work with single-site operations and multi-site groups alike, and we can consolidate several locations into one route when the volumes justify it. If your situation changes, the schedule changes with it: nothing here is locked into an annual contract you have to argue your way out of.
Choosing Recocycle means your used containers are handled under the strictest environmental standards. Every unit is assessed to enter our industrial reconditioning and recycling cycle. The drums and IBC totes that can return to service go through 360° washing, inspection, leak testing and the RL marking required by Transport Canada, in line with the federal reconditioning requirements. Anything that cannot be reused goes to recovery and material reclamation streams rather than default landfill, with traceability documentation available on request. Your waste-management obligations become a measurable contribution to the circular economy, while reducing your footprint and simplifying the evidence you need for internal audits.
Nothing about a reconditioned container should feel improvised. That is why every pickup follows the same sequence: inventory confirmed, access checked, units counted on arrival, and a written record left with your site contact. When something does not match — a damaged base, a missing cap, a container that held an incompatible product — we flag it before loading instead of discovering it back at the facility. It costs a few minutes at the dock and saves a load that has to be turned around.
Compared with buying new, a container put back into service requires a fraction of the energy and raw material needed to manufacture a complete unit. For a workshop or maintenance department that goes through several pieces a month, the gap compounds quickly: less capital tied up in packaging, less floor space occupied by empties waiting around, and a cost that stays in operating expenses rather than in fixed assets. The same logic applies to 45 and 55 gallon drums: a well-maintained piece goes through several rotations before it has to leave service, spreading its cost over years rather than over a single order.
