We haul Away Plastic Barrels for Free - Here's How It Works

We Haul Away Plastic Barrels for Free — Here’s How It Works

If your facility is overflowing with empty or unwanted plastic barrels, you’re not alone. Many manufacturers, farms, and warehouses across North Carolina end up with piles of 55-gallon drums taking up valuable space.

Instead of paying to dispose of them, there’s a better option — NC Plastic Pallets offers free plastic barrel and drum haul-away services for qualifying North Carolina businesses.

Here’s exactly how it works

Step 1: Contact Our Team

Call, text, or use our simple online form to let us know what you have.

We’ll ask for:

Your location
The number of barrels or drums
The type of material (plastic, HDPE, food-grade, etc.)

Once we have that info, we’ll confirm if your load qualifies for free pickup.

Step 2: We Schedule a Pickup

If your business is in Elizabethtown, Fayetteville, Wilmington, Raleigh, Charlotte, or nearby, we’ll schedule a convenient pickup time.

Our trucks are equipped to handle bulk quantities of plastic barrels and pallets — no job is too big.

We can often pick up within 24 to 48 hours, depending on your location.

Step 3: We Haul and Recycle Responsibly

Once we pick up your plastic barrels, we transport them to one of our recycling or refurbishing partners.

Usable barrels are cleaned and reused.
Damaged barrels are ground down and recycled into new plastic products.

Either way, your materials stay out of landfills and are put back into the supply chain.
