RECONDITIONING - Drums and IBC's
Our reconditioning process involves the collection of empty used drums and IBCs, the removal of residue and the reshaping and repainting of the cleaned steel drums, or laundering and remanufacture of IBCs and PE drums.The key element of the process is the removal of residue, which we achieve in several environmentally friendly ways.

Volatility of raw material prices, environmental concerns and the difficulties in used packaging disposal have led to an increased demand for reconditioning. 

MILREC specialise in the reconditioning of :
- steel drums
- PE drums
- IBCs

RECYCLING
The moral and legislative pressures on recycling and re-use are increasing, however compliance need not be a financial burden on your company. MILREC can help you to discharge your obligations with a cost effective alternative to existing disposal routes.
When containers do reach the end of their lifespan, or are simply unsuitable for re-use, we can process them through our recycling plant.

MILREC facilities/services include:
- Contaminated container disposal (including Special waste)
- Steel drum crushing
- Multi-point collection service available

Our yard at Peterhead, Aberdeenshire has a large storage area. This enables us to hold stocks to supply short notice orders quickly and efficiently via our own transport fleet. This fleet is manned by our trained and experienced drivers.

DISPOSAL

It is naturally far more environmentally efficient to recycle containers materials where at all possible, whether it be steel, plastic, fibre board or wood, but this is not always possible or attractive for commercial reasons. There are instances when the packing material, due to the nature of the contamination, is not suitable for recycling and requires disposal. MILREC offer a professional disposal service which complies with environmental legislation and best practice.
