Serving Boston

What we deliver, and how

We ship across the lower 48, and we are honest about when the arithmetic stops working. Long lanes favour full or partial truckloads; a handful of units shipped a thousand miles usually costs more in freight than the totes are worth. Mixed orders are common here: a few food-grade units alongside technical stock for the dirty jobs.

  • Reconditioned 275 & 330 gallon totes — washed, leak-tested, new valve and gasket, graded honestly and photographed before they load.
  • Food-grade and rebottled units — documented food-only history, or a brand-new HDPE bottle in a refurbished cage.
  • New and one-trip stock — when a quality programme requires a virgin interior.
  • Accessories — S60x6 adapters, camlocks, vented lids, jackets, spill pallets, pumps.
  • Cash buyback — we buy used totes in Boston as well as selling them, including the ones you were about to pay to dispose of.
  • Recycling — end-of-life units granulated and re-melted, with a disposition statement if you need it for reporting.

Before you order

Three things to check in Boston

These are the questions that decide whether a delivery goes smoothly, and they are the same three everywhere — people just answer them too late.

CheckWhy it mattersWhat to tell us
Door and gate heightA 330 runs 53–59" before forks. It is the single most common cancelled order.The measured clear height of your lowest opening
Handling equipmentNo forklift means a lift-gate truck, which caps the load at about 14 units.Forklift, pallet jack, tractor with forks, or nothing
Ground and accessA loaded pallet jack sinks on soft ground, and a 48' trailer needs room to turn.Surface type, and whether a tractor-trailer can turn at your address

Boston FAQ

Straight answers

Do you have a depot in Boston?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We run one yard, at 11966 Brookfield St, Livonia, MI 48150, where every unit is graded, washed and loaded. What Boston gets is a real lead time (quoted per lane, typically 1–3 weeks) and a freight number for the actual lane.
What does delivery to Boston cost?
It depends on the count far more than on the distance, because empty totes are extremely low-density freight. 20+ units for a sensible delivered price is the point at which the per-unit freight stops dominating. Send a postal code and a quantity and you will get a firm number.
Will you collect used totes from Boston?
Yes. Tell us the count, the last contents and whether they are staged for a forklift. Inside our core radius that is a scheduled pickup; further out we combine it with a delivery or run it when enough volume accumulates on the lane.
Can I just collect them myself?
Always welcome during yard hours in Livonia. For one to four units it is usually the cheapest route, and you get to pick your own cages off the staging rows.
How quickly can you answer?
Same business day in almost every case, always within one. By email — we do not operate a phone line, because written questions get written grades and written prices.
