Reduce Waste. Reuse Resources. Rethink the Future.
Every day, thousands of steel drums, plastic containers, and wooden pallets are discarded after a single use. Many end up in landfills, rivers, or scattered across landscapes where they take decades or centuries to break down. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
At DPI Recyclers, we believe in turning waste into opportunity. Our work with recycled industrial containers is more than just a business it’s a movement toward a cleaner, more sustainable planet.

Industrial packaging like 210L steel drums, plastic barrels, and 1000L IBCs are essential in many sectors — but when disposed of improperly, they pose serious environmental risks:
Plastic drums can take over 400 years to degrade, leaking microplastics into soil and waterways.
Steel drums, though recyclable, often rust away in open landfills, wasting valuable material.
Pallets made from untreated wood or plastic add to deforestation and landfill mass if not reused or recycled.
With millions of these containers used globally each year, the waste adds up fast.
Recycling and reusing industrial containers isn’t just practical — it’s powerful:
Reduces landfill waste
Every reused drum or pallet means one less item clogging our landfills.
Lowers demand for new production
Reuse cuts down the need for new plastic and metal manufacturing, saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
Protects water and soil
Proper recycling prevents leaching of chemicals and plastic particles into the environment.
Supports a circular economy
Choosing reconditioned products supports a system where materials are continuously cycled back into use — not wasted.
You don’t have to run a recycling plant to help the planet. Here’s how you as an individual or business can contribute
Choose recycled: Opt for reconditioned drums, IBCs, and pallets whenever possible. They're just as reliable — and far more sustainable.
Return used containers: Don’t dump — recycle. Partner with recyclers like DPI to give your used containers a second life.
Educate your team: Raise awareness in your business about the impact of industrial waste and the benefits of reuse.
Buy less, reuse more: If a container is in good condition, keep it in circulation for as long as possible.
Support local recyclers: Strengthen your community and the environment by working with responsible recycling companies.
It’s Not Just About Containers — It’s About Consciousness
Every recycled drum, pallet, or IBC represents a small victory for the planet. When multiplied across businesses, industries, and communities, those small choices become a powerful force for change.
We’re not just moving materials. We’re moving mindsets.
The environment doesn’t need grand gestures — it needs consistent, conscious action. Whether you're a manufacturer, a warehouse operator, or simply someone who cares, your choices matter.
Let’s keep containers out of landfills and keep our resources in use — for the benefit of generations to come.
