The Peoria container economy is bigger than people think
Processors and bakeries
Syrup, oil and concentrate containers washed on cycle 3 and returned with certificates.
Blenders and platers
Caustic, surfactant and acid containers with declarations on file and dedicated serial ranges.
Breweries and distilleries
Glycol in, spent grain out, one stop, one bill of lading.
Municipal yards
Brine, treatment chemical and de-icing containers, bid-friendly paperwork.
Car washes and shops
Soap and degreaser containers, often four or five at a time, picked up anyway.

- Inside sixty miles there is no minimum count, because the marginal cost of one more stop on a local sweep is about twenty minutes.
- Friday is the standing local sweep day. Small collections get added to it rather than scheduled individually.
- The yard has a scale, so any local load can leave with a weight ticket.
- Yard collection is welcome by appointment — bring straps and we will load you.
Questions from people twenty minutes away
I have four totes behind my shop. Will you really come?
Yes. Four containers inside the free zone goes onto the Friday sweep at no charge, and we will pay you for them if they are sellable.
Can I drop them off myself?
Yes, by appointment during business hours. We will unload you, weigh if you want a ticket, and pay on the spot for anything in a saleable band.
How fast can you clear a site in an emergency?
Seventy-two hours for shutdowns and lease ends, and locally often faster because we are not waiting on a lane.
Do you buy from households?
Yes, and we sell to them. Plenty of our Grade C and upcycled builds go to gardeners and homesteaders buying exactly one container.
Can I see where my containers end up?
Come and look. Yard visits run weekday mornings by appointment, and the diversion statement for your load tells you which path each stream took.
Is there anywhere closer than you?
Not for reconditioning at this scale, as far as we know. If you find somebody closer who washes with a closed loop and publishes a grading standard, we would genuinely like to know about them.
