Success Stories

You know the saying: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." At Reliable Industries, that principal is the foundation of our business. In 1985, before "green" became popular, Reliable representatives were visiting a pharmaceutical company in Delaware. Day after day the company paid a trash hauler to dispose of valuable items that we'd gladly buy. In this particular instance, this customer paid $300 every week (or $15,000 per year) to dispose of their used boxes. Reliable Industries offered to purchase those same used boxes for $45,000 a year. That's $60,000 we added to their bottom line! In a similar instance in 2010, Reliable representatives visited a candy manufacturer in eastern Pennsylvania. That company was throwing away obsolete rolls of packaging film, used aluminum foil, and miscellaneous wraps from rejected candy. Today Reliable is paying this company for those same products which the company was previously paying their trash hauler to remove.

Drip Dry Policy

Empty steel, fiber, and plastic drums to be picked up by Reliable Industries must comply with our "Drip Dry Policy". To further enforce and comply with the EPA’s empty drum regulations which allow no more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) of residual material to remain in the bottom of an empty steel, fiber or plastic drum, Reliable Industries is currently using a “DRIP DRY” policy which allows for no material in the empty drums. No drum will be picked up which has any loose material in it. This means NO loose liquids or solids. If loose material can be poured or dumped out of the drum, then it is not empty. Additionally, if the prior residual material is listed by the EPA in 40 CFR 261.33(e) as a “P-Listed” acutely hazardous waste, the drum is not deemed empty unless it has been triple-rinsed using an effective solvent or has been cleaned by a method shown to achieve equivalent removal. All drums being removed from a supplier’s facility must have heads and rings affixed or have the bungs in place. Our drivers have been instructed not to pick up drums that are not properly prepared for removal. Every person providing drums containing any residues to Reliable regardless of prior content shall sign an “Empty Drum Certification" verifying that the drums are empty in accordance with the above explanation.
