Terms of use
These are the terms for using this site. In short: the pages are general information, a ticket is a request and not a contract, and you check the rules for your own totes with your own agency.
01General information, not advice
The guides, tables and calculators here describe how IBC totes, retest dates and RCRA empty containers generally work, with their sources and a last-reviewed date. They are not legal, safety or compliance advice. Rules change, and the rule that applies to a tote depends on what it held, where it is and where it is going. Read the cited text, then ask your own state agency, hauler or counsel.
The retest date checker counts months from the dates you type and assumes a rigid plastic or composite IBC for liquids. It is a calculator, not an inspection. The date and marks on the plate, and a qualified inspector, decide.
02A ticket is a request
Posting a ticket asks the desk to read it and reply. It is not an offer, an order or an agreement to buy, sell or pick up anything. A trade exists only when both sides agree in writing, and the desk can decline a ticket. The desk takes empties, never waste, and does not handle tickets for unknown or acute hazardous last contents as pickups.
This site lists no prices, minimum quantities, delivery times or who pays for freight. Do not rely on any figure on these pages as a quote.
03Content and links
The text, drawings and calculators on this site belong to the desk. You may link to any page. Company, plant and port names on area and industry pages are context for where totes come from and go to. They are not endorsements, and none of those organisations is a customer or partner of the desk by being named here.
04Changes
The desk may change these terms and the pages that refer to them. The date at the foot of each guide shows when it was last reviewed. Questions go to info@phillyibctotes.com.
