Notice text
Government Sales,
Red River Army Depot has a requirement to sell 100 used and un-rinsed, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). These totes are considered to be Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) empty containers. There may be a small amount of liquid contained in the tote. These containers are rated as holding 275 to 330 gallons of fluids. The containers are constructed from rigid (High Density Polyethylene) HDPE plastic and have a metal cage surrounding. The containers previously held non-hazardous and/or hazardous material when new. Some of the containers have the factory label intact. All containers have functional valves and lids. According to the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as long as the containers contain a safe level of fluid the government has the right to transfer ownership for a price. All IBC’s containers contained non-food graded material. The seller is requiring the buyer to place an order for a minimum of 25 tote or all, which will have to be legitimately recycled by reconditioning of the containers by a recycler. The buyer must provide the recycler’s name, solid waste registration number, telephone number, location, and recycling method. This will be a periodic sale to meet the needs of the Government production. In RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) regulations, a container holding hazardous waste is considered "empty" and exempt from hazardous waste regulations if it meets specific criteria outlined in 40 CFR 261.7.
For most hazardous wastes, a container is considered empty if all wastes have been removed using common practices (e.g., pouring, pumping) and no more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) of residue remains. Containers less than or equal to 119 gallons must have no more than 3% residue by weight, while larger containers must have no more than 0.3% residue by weight. Per Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) RG-480, this allows the containers to be exempt from regulation under the industrial and hazardous waste rules.
Business hours for item pick-ups are Monday through Thursday, 6:30 am to 4:00 pm. At least two (2) business days’ notice are required to arrange for item pick-ups.
Note: Please read,
40 CFR § 261.7 Residues of hazardous waste in empty containers.
TCEQ RG-480 Empty Waste Containers Under the Resource Conservation Recovery Act
Buyers must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws upon receipt of the container.
