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 Hayward in 2–3 business days, with freight at $210. Hayward has one of the densest concentrations of chemical blenders in the Bay Area, which makes it our best source of well-documented industrial empties. A large share of our Grade A washed industrial stock originates here.

The 880 south, almost always combined with Fremont or San Leandro on the same run. Hayward sits at a convenient point on the loop, which is why freight here is $30 cheaper than to San Jose despite being only twenty minutes closer.
The Clawiter and Whitesell industrial districts hold the densest concentration of chemical blenders in the Bay Area. Docks are generally purpose-built and drivers rarely have problems.
This is our best single source of well-documented industrial empties, so a large share of Hayward runs are collections rather than deliveries.

How demand moves in Hayward
Worth knowing before you plan a purchase. The quiet months are when reconditioning slots and leasing stock are easiest to get.

Rules worth knowing in Alameda County
Not legal advice — just the things that come up most often on this lane, and what we do about them.
Empty-container determinations
More Hayward containers require a formal RCRA determination than anywhere else we collect. We do it in writing before the truck is booked, at no charge, and we would rather turn a lot down than move it on an assumption.
Alameda County hazardous materials plans
Aggregate storage thresholds bring reporting obligations into play. If you are scaling a tote array, the count matters as much as the chemistry.
Prop 65 labelling
Reconditioned containers sold into California carry the standard warning where prior contents or materials trigger it. The specific text and the reason go on the invoice rather than a sticker.

IBC totes in Hayward
How quickly can you deliver IBC totes to Hayward?
2–3 business days. We run our own flatbeds to Hayward, which is why the lead time is predictable rather than dependent on a carrier's schedule. Freight is $210. Requests landing before 10:00 AM during yard hours are quoted the same day.
Do you collect used IBC totes from Hayward?
Yes. Twelve or more units earns free pickup, usually scheduled on the return leg of a delivery run — Hayward is 26 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 Hayward customers buy?
Hayward has one of the densest concentrations of chemical blenders in the Bay Area, which makes it our best source of well-documented industrial empties. A large share of our Grade A washed industrial stock originates here.
Can I collect from the yard instead of paying freight?
Yes, and for smaller orders from Hayward 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.
We blend acids and caustics. Can one container do both duties?
The bottle can — HDPE handles both well. The gasket cannot: EPDM is excellent with caustic and adequate with many acids, but the right elastomer differs by concentration and by acid. We will not sell you one gasket spec for both lines without seeing both safety data sheets, because that is exactly the decision that produces a weep three months later.
Do you pay more for containers with good records?
Materially. A documented single prior product with a legible plate and a straight cage is $46–$82 here; the same physical container with no history is worth scrap value and goes to granulation. The records are a large part of what you are selling, which is why Hayward lots price at the top of our range.
How quickly can you collect sixty units?
Usually within the week, often on the return leg of a Fremont or San Leandro delivery. Sixty units is comfortably above the free-pickup threshold, and if the timing suits a scheduled run we can sometimes do it in two or three days.
