Our lineup includes open‑head and tight‑head drums, pails, and specialty containers built to meet DOT, EPA, and UN performance standards. Whether your application involves corrosive liquids, solid waste, absorbents, or lab pack consolidation, we provide reliable, compliant hazardous waste container solutions backed by consistent quality and dependable availability.
Steel Hazardous Waste Containers (Open‑Head & Closed‑Head)
Steel hazardous waste containers provide the strength, durability, and regulatory compliance required for transporting and storing hazardous liquids and solids. Container Distributor supplies 30‑ and 55‑gallon open‑head and closed‑head steel drums in both new and reconditioned formats, each built to meet strict UN, DOT, and performance‑test standards for hazardous materials. Closed‑head drums offer secure containment for liquid waste streams, while open‑head drums provide versatility for solids, sludges, and materials requiring full‑removal access. Available with lined or unlined interiors, EPDM‑gasketed covers, bolt or lever‑lock rings, and corrosion‑resistant coatings, these carbon‑steel drums deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial, environmental, and waste‑management applications. Dual‑rated UN markings support a wide range of packing groups, and overpack/salvage drum options are available for compliant secondary containment.
