Choosing between a new and reconditioned drum depends on your application. New 55 gallon drums are brand-new items, perfect for products whose containers need to maintain their integrity, such as consumables or hazardous materials. This is why our 55 Gallon Steel Salvage & Overpack Drums and Plastic Salvage & Overpack Drums, used for handling hazardous or damaged materials and waste, are primarily new. Reconditioned drums are generally not FDA-approved, but they can be used to store and transport chemicals.

However, reconditioned 55 gallon drums are affordable, used drums that have been cleaned and inspected for reuse! Looking for used 55 gallon metal drums for sale? At a fraction of the price of a new drum, reconditioned 55 gallon drums help reduce the need for new drum production while still serving as dependable containers.
