Empty Drum Collection Service
Collecting and Recycling your used drums
At Water Treatment Products Ltd (WTP), we provide our valued customers with an empty drum collection service that ensures environmentally responsible handling of our products. Our dedicated service includes the collection and sustainable recycling or re-use of empty WTP drums, all in compliance with regulatory mandates.
Rest assured, none of the drums returned to us will ever find their way into landfills.
To adhere to our licensing requirements, please note the following criteria:
Drums must have been supplied by WTP.
Drums must be completely empty.
Drums should retain their original label and cap.
Full pallets comprising up to 48 x 25L or 100 x 10L drums must be securely stretch-wrapped and secured to a standard 1200 x 1000mm pallet before collection. (Palletisation service may be available upon request, subject to quotation).
A completed Waste Transfer Note / Hazardous Waste Transfer Note is required to accompany the collection request, which should be forwarded to sales@watertreatmentproducts.co.uk.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring our commitment to environmental sustainability.

In 2023, we re-used over 15,000 drums, ~50% more than the previous year. Our aim for 2024 is to increase the number of drums we re-use.

All the drums collected by us are pressure washed internally and inspected for obvious damage, such as punctures. A percentage of these washed drums are pressure tested to ensure they can be used for classified products again. Re-used drums are also marked and recycled on a set number of times before going to be chipped, as would any drum that fails the initial inspections.
