Plastic Reconditioned Drums

At The Cary Company, reconditioned plastic drums are previously used HDPE drums that have been professionally cleaned, inspected, and prepared for reuse, while new plastic drums are manufactured from virgin, unused materials. Our reconditioned plastic drums are available in common sizes such as 15, 30, and 55 gallons and include both tight head and open head styles depending on the product offering. These drums may show cosmetic signs of prior use, such as light stains or scratches, but they are structurally sound and ready for industrial reuse. 

Choosing reconditioned plastic drums allows customers to access dependable containers at a lower cost while supporting sustainability efforts. These recycled plastic barrels are a practical and economical solution for many applications where brand-new containers are not required.

Many of our reconditioned plastic drums are UN Rated, meaning they meet specific performance standards for transporting and storing hazardous materials. Our inventory includes UN-rated tight head drums with standard fittings such as 2" NPS and buttress closures, commonly used for chemicals, detergents, and industrial fluids.

When selecting UN rated used plastic drums for sale, it is important to match the drum’s rating and condition to your application requirements. We clearly indicate UN ratings and specifications on individual product pages so customers can confidently select used 55 gallon plastic drums suitable for regulated or hazardous contents.

Our reconditioned plastic drums are not FDA approved for food or pharmaceutical storage. Because these drums have been previously used, even after washing and reconditioning, they are best suited for non-food industrial applications. Customers seeking food-grade storage should consider our new plastic drums specifically designated and certified for food contact. 

Used plastic barrels are frequently used for secondary containment, waste handling, rainwater collection, and other non-consumable applications where food-grade certification is not required. Our product listings clearly note usage limitations to help customers make informed decisions.

The Cary Company is a trusted supplier of reconditioned plastic drums with decades of experience supporting industrial and commercial packaging needs. Our selection includes a variety of sizes, colors, and configurations, all offered with detailed specifications and available for purchase individually or in bulk quantities.
