Since 2006, Container Essentials has worked with metal recycling companies and manufacturers to help them source the plastic bulk containers or metal bins they need to streamline their recycling operations and increase efficiency. Our plastic MACX bins and our new and used steel bins are all designed to make storing, transporting, and processing scrap metal easier, thereby reducing the time and effort required to handle it.

Prices for reusable scrap recycling containers with similar sizes and volume capacities can be all over the map. Why? Isn’t one container as good as another?

Chances are you’re on the lookout for the most effective tools to help you manage and grow your business. The best container suppliers can do more than provide products at competitive prices. They’re professional resources who can help recycling businesses accomplish their goals.

If you’re using gaylords you can achieve dramatic savings by moving to reusable containers.

There were many situations where my customers needed something different than what I could offer. Unfortunately, I was unable to help.
