Quantity, liquid and your postal code is enough. We confirm stock and freight before quoting, so the number you get is the number you pay.
We deliver used, reconditioned, rebottled and new IBC totes to Daly City in next business day, with freight at $140. Close enough that Daly City effectively runs on our San Francisco schedule. A high share of residential and small-commercial rainwater harvesting kits go here, helped by the fog-belt rainfall and a lot of houses with good roof catchment.

Straight down the 101 or over Bayshore Boulevard — genuinely a short run, which is why Daly City effectively shares our San Francisco schedule and lead time.
The residential share here is higher than anywhere else we deliver. Fog-belt rainfall plus a lot of houses with good roof catchment makes this our densest market for domestic rainwater harvesting kits.
Residential deliveries need a liftgate and a level place to set the container. Driveway grades in Westlake and Broadmoor are steeper than they look on a map.

What we collect from Daly City
Daly City returns very little. It is a residential and small-commercial market where containers get bought and kept, often for a decade, rather than cycled.
What we do collect is mostly end-of-life rain tanks and the occasional small commercial fleet. Because the run is short we will collect as few as six units here rather than the usual twelve.
- Empties collected per year≈ 610
- Minimum for free pickup6 units
- Share that is end-of-life rain stock54%
- Typical lot size1–8 units
- Average price paid$28 – $58 per unit
How demand moves in Daly City
Worth knowing before you plan a purchase. The quiet months are when reconditioning slots and leasing stock are easiest to get.
| Period | Demand | What is actually happening |
|---|---|---|
| October – December | Peak | Rain capture installs before the wet season — our busiest window here |
| January – March | High | Storms remind people; late installs and array expansions |
| April – June | Moderate | Irrigation and landscape season |
| July – September | Low | Dry, quiet; a good window for emergency-stock rotations |

Rules worth knowing in San Mateo County
Not legal advice — just the things that come up most often on this lane, and what we do about them.
Rainwater capture is permitted
California explicitly allows rooftop capture for non-potable use. No permit is needed for a tank, a tap and a garden. Plumbing harvested water into indoor fixtures does need permits and backflow prevention.
Mosquito abatement
San Mateo County takes standing water seriously. Screen every opening on a rain tank — inlet, overflow and lid. It is a five-dollar mesh and it is genuinely enforced.
Emergency water rotation
Stored potable water should be rotated on a schedule; six months is sensible, twelve is pushing it. We supply the sanitisation procedure with any container sold for potable use.

IBC totes in Daly City
How quickly can you deliver IBC totes to Daly City?
Next business day. We run our own flatbeds to Daly City, which is why the lead time is predictable rather than dependent on a carrier's schedule. Freight is $140. Requests landing before 10:00 AM during yard hours are quoted the same day.
Do you collect used IBC totes from Daly City?
Yes. Twelve or more units earns free pickup, usually scheduled on the return leg of a delivery run — Daly City is 8 miles from the yard, well inside our 250-mile collection radius. We pay $25–$95 per 275 gallon unit depending on condition and prior contents, in cash or as credit against your next order.
What grade of tote do most Daly City customers buy?
Close enough that Daly City effectively runs on our San Francisco schedule. A high share of residential and small-commercial rainwater harvesting kits go here, helped by the fog-belt rainfall and a lot of houses with good roof catchment.
Can I collect from the yard instead of paying freight?
Yes, and for smaller orders from Daly City it is often the sensible choice. Will-call pickup at 1450 Bancroft Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124 runs Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday mornings by appointment. Bring straps and remember that an empty 275 gallon tote weighs 125 lb.
How much rain can I actually collect on a Daly City roof?
Roof area in square feet × 0.6 gives gallons per inch of rain, times about 0.85 for real losses. A 1,200 square foot roof produces roughly 610 usable gallons from a single inch, and around 14,000 gallons across a typical year. One 275 gallon tote fills and overflows in a single moderate storm — which is why overflow routing matters more here than storage capacity.
Do I need a permit for a rain tank in my garden?
For a tank fed from a downspout, feeding a tap and a hose, no. California's Rainwater Capture Act permits rooftop capture for non-potable use outright. You would need permits if you plumbed harvested water to any indoor fixture, which brings backflow prevention into it.
Can you deliver to a house with no forklift?
Yes — that is most of what we do here. Liftgate service is $60 and sets containers down at kerb or driveway height onto a level surface. Tell us about stairs, gates, narrow driveways, overhead wires and the driveway grade in advance, because those are what decide whether a delivery works.
