With over 20-years experience providing UK industry with a total solution for IBC reconditioning, disposal and waste management...
Drumcare has been an independently run family business since 1993. We have developed a one-site facility for the complete process of laundering, reconditioning, and leak testing of IBC's and other industrial tanks.
We also have facilities to shred and granulate plastic containers of all sizes, offering a fully licensed and environmentally compliant disposal route for containers.
Together with our associated companies, we are one of the few companies in the UK that offer a full range of:-
IBC, Drum and Tank
Management
Services
Drumcare Limited offer a full IBC laundering and reconditioning service. We can offer a variety of options for the most efficient cost-effective life cycle of your IBC's through re-use and recycling.
We purchase good quality reusable IBC's for reconditioning and resale or if preferred, we can offer a full laundry service for your own IBC's.
IBC's are fully reconditioned, dried and leak tested at our licensed site.
We also offer a full IBC disposal service for 'end of life' containers.
Although steel and plastic containers have a significant re-use expectation, inevitably the containers will come to the end of their current useful lives and so can then be recycled.
All plastic containers are washed, shredded and granulated in house in readiness for re-processing.
Scrap steel drums are segregated at our associate company's licensed waste management facility adjacent to our own, they are then returned to the reprocessors for fragmenting and smelting, in readiness for recycling into new steel.
No containers are ever land filled, all parts and components are re-processed in one form or another.
Our container disposal facilities are fully licensed and meet all legislative and environmental requirements.
This guidance document 'The assessment and classification of waste packaging' was developed by trade associations1 representing companies operating in the chemicals supply chain that use packaging. The Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and Scottish Environment Protection Agency have welcomed the development of this guidance and have agreed to its adoption in England, Wales and Scotland.
The document provides guidance for assessing whether packaging to be taken offsite is waste or not and if waste, whether it is waste packaging or not and whether it should be classified as hazardous or nonhazardous. It includes a method that allows for the weight of the packaging to be taken into account and is intended to be complementary to the joint environment agencies' Technical Guidance WM32.
All IBC's must be "empty" meaning that all reasonable effort must have been made to remove all leftover contents from the container. This may involve for example physical or mechanical means such as washing, draining or scraping. The method of emptying will depend on the container and the substance involved.
It is not permitted to receive IBC's or Drums containing hazardous substance residue materials which may present a reactive or explosive risk, such as oxidising gents (ADR Class 501) Spontaneously combustible or dangerous when wet (ADR Class 4) products.
