FAQs

What is an IBC?

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) is a reusable container designed for storing and transporting compatible bulk materials, including certain liquid waste streams.

Wastege supplies 1,000-litre IBCs for commercial and industrial waste storage, alongside collection and disposal services.

What substances should not be stored in IBCs?

Certain highly flammable liquids, incompatible chemicals and hot materials may require specialist storage arrangements or alternative containers.

The suitability of an IBC depends on its construction, certification and the properties of the waste being stored. Contact our team before storing any material you’re unsure about.

How do I know if an IBC is the right container for my waste?

The most appropriate container depends on your waste type, quantity and storage requirements.

Our team can discuss your waste classification and recommend a suitable IBC or an alternative container where necessary.

What is the difference between an enclosed and cut-open IBC?

Enclosed IBCs are designed to contain compatible bulk materials, including certain liquid waste streams.

Cut-open IBCs have been modified to provide easier access when loading suitable solid waste, including oily rags and filters. They are not equivalent to enclosed IBCs for liquid storage or regulated dangerous goods transportation.

Can I use an IBC for hazardous waste?

Certain hazardous waste materials can be stored in appropriately specified IBCs. However, suitability depends on the waste classification, chemical compatibility and the container’s certification.

Contact Wastege before using an IBC to store hazardous waste.

Can Wastege collect a full IBC?

Yes. Wastege can arrange the collection of suitable IBCs containing accepted waste materials.

Our team will discuss your waste type, container condition and site access requirements before confirming collection arrangements.

Can I arrange regular IBC collections?

Yes. We can discuss ongoing collection and replacement arrangements for businesses that regularly generate suitable liquid or industrial waste.

Contact our team to discuss your waste volumes and operational requirements.

IBCs for Liquid & Industrial Waste

Wastege supplies both enclosed and cut-open 1,000L IBCs to accommodate different commercial and industrial waste requirements.

Our enclosed IBCs are designed for storing compatible liquid waste, while cut-open IBCs provide easier access for loading suitable solid waste materials, such as oily rags and filters.

Each container features integrated forklift access, making it easier to manoeuvre around industrial premises and prepare for collection.

Our team can advise on the most suitable IBC for your waste and arrange collection and disposal once your container is ready.

What Can You Store in an IBC ?

IBCs can accommodate a range of commercial and industrial waste streams, provided the container is compatible with the materials being stored.

Depending on the container specification and waste classification, suitable applications may include:

Not every waste material is suitable for IBC storage. Certain fuels, solvents and other hazardous substances may require specialist containers or additional safety precautions.

Our team can assess your waste requirements and recommend an appropriate storage solution.

IBC Collection & Disposal

Wastege provides IBC supply alongside our commercial and hazardous waste collection services, allowing businesses to manage their waste storage and disposal through a single provider.

Once your IBC is ready for collection, our team can arrange its removal and organise a replacement container where required.
