Top management is the driving force behind our clean, safe and secure operations. Our plant acquisition strategy includes a well-capitalized plant upgrade program to ensure company-wide standards. What's more:

Our Vice President-Environmental, Safety and Health is an executive-level position held by an industry veteran.
We conduct periodic internal environmental audits that must satisfy upper management

When we take away the container, we take on the responsibility.

The environmentally compliant, documented and insured used container solution. A disposed container isn't truly disposed unless American Container Net (ACN) is the one in charge. We are one of the nation's largest industrial container reconditioners offering you:

Comprehensive container reuse, recycle and disposal services
Experienced leadership implementing consistent standards
The security of environmental liability insurance coverage
The logistical advantages of an integrated network of container facilities
Fully documented pickup and transportation processes
Environmentally benign reconditioning operations

With one trusted relationship you can efficiently manage the removal of empty containers from one plant or multiple facilities nationwide-and off-load your liability concerns.

ACN is led by industry veterans who are building the nation's premier reconditioned container company to offer unique levels of service, standards and efficiency and perhaps the most valuable product of all-peace of mine.

State of the art reconditioning plants
Consider that our wide-area network of plants enables you to manage your disposal needs across multiple locations. Then consider the high environmental standards under which each of our plants operates. That's a powerful combination.

ACN plants are:

Fully permitted-some of our managers have received environmental awards
Clean-emission controls are among the very best in the industry
Equipped for energy recovery and reuse

We protect air, land and water through advanced systems and techniques.

Most of our plants, for example, feature:

Secure container storage in trailers - "drumless drum yards"
Zero discharge process waters
Maximum in-plant recycling to minimize off-site disposal

We guarantee that each container we accept will be de-identified and either reconditioned for reuse as a shipping container or thoroughly cleaned for materials recycling. We do not 'broker' your used drums to third parties.

Put us to the test
We don't shy away from your audits. We encourage them. We're sure they'll lead to long-term relationships with like-minded environmentally responsible companies.

While we're confident we'll never need it, our $10 million environmental impairment liability insurance is designed to keep any legal actions within ACN corporate confines.

This insurance also guarantees that funds will be available for any conceivable remediation that might be required at any of our drum processing plants. Our policy also includes inbound transportation coverage so your used, empty drums are covered from the moment they are picked up or received at our facility. Until someone figures out how to make used drums vanish, there is no safer destination for your empties than an American Container Net plant.

Your worries end when we accept your empties. You can be sure because all transactions are documented in our:

Although we are happy to assume most of the responsibility for the strict environmental legal and regulatory provisions that govern used container management, we cannot, by ourselves, ensure 100% compliance and freedom from liability. The supplier of these containers also has important responsibilities which must be met. These are described in detail in our Drum Acceptance Policy. Fortunately, the vast majority of our customers and drum suppliers understand and comply with these provisions, and through their cooperation we are able to provide complete environmental assurance. Once in a while, however, we experience container suppliers who, for whatever reason, are not able to conform to their used packaging responsibilities. We will make reasonable efforts to assist such companies, but when we are not able to effect the needed changes we must regrettably withdraw from servicing these accounts.

There and Back. Safe and Sound!
