Every Recycled Tote
Makes a Difference
Each year, millions of IBC totes end up in landfills despite being perfectly reusable. At Fort Wayne IBC Recycling, we intercept that waste stream and give every container a second, third, or even fourth life.
A single IBC tote contains approximately 130 pounds of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic and a steel cage. When you buy a reconditioned tote from us instead of a new one, you prevent all of that material from being newly extracted and manufactured.
Our closed-loop process means the totes that can't be reused whole are broken down and their materials recycled into new products. Nothing goes to waste.

What Our Customers Say
Businesses across the Midwest trust Fort Wayne IBC Recycling for quality, value, and reliability.
“We switched to reconditioned IBC totes from Fort Wayne IBC Recycling two years ago and have saved over $40,000 annually. The quality is outstanding — you would never know these totes were not brand new. Their team makes the whole process effortless.”
“As a food manufacturer, we need totes that meet strict sanitation standards. Fort Wayne IBC Recycling delivers food-grade totes that pass every inspection. Their documentation and traceability give our quality team complete confidence.”
“We generate about 200 surplus IBC totes per quarter. Their buy-back program is seamless — they schedule the pickup, load the truck, and we get paid within a week. It is the easiest recycling program we have ever participated in.”
“What sets them apart is the service. When we needed 50 totes delivered on short notice for a rush project, they had them on our dock within 48 hours. Try getting that kind of turnaround from a new-tote supplier. It would take weeks.”
