Six things
we do with a tote

Most container yards buy and sell. We also wash, rebuild, haul, recover and granulate — which is exactly why we can afford to be honest with you about which of those you actually need.

The short answer

The six services form a loop rather than a menu. A container we buy from you gets washed, rebuilt and sold to someone else; when it comes back the third time it gets rebottled; when the cage finally dies it gets granulated and baled. Freight moves it between those stages, and asset recovery is that loop run as a programme across many sites at once.

  • Have containers to get rid of → we buy them, and we take the scrap too
  • Own your fleet and need it fit to fill → the wash line
  • Containers genuinely at end of life → recycling with weigh tickets
  • Many sites, quarterly volumes, an ESG report due → asset recovery
