What Affects IBC Tank Pricing
Every tank is different. Here are the six key factors we evaluate when setting buy or sell prices.
Tank Age
Newer tanks command higher prices. IBC tanks have a manufacturer date stamped on the plate — tanks under 5 years old are most desirable for food-grade applications.
Physical Condition
We inspect the bottle for cracks, UV yellowing, and wall thickness. The cage is checked for rust, bent bars, and weld integrity. Pallet condition matters too.
Previous Contents
Tanks that held food-grade liquids (juices, soaps, oils) are worth more than those used for industrial chemicals. Some previous contents disqualify tanks from reuse entirely.
Grade Classification
Food-grade tanks fetch premium prices. Industrial-grade and economy-grade tanks are priced lower but still have strong demand for non-food applications like irrigation and storage.
Order Quantity
Bulk orders reduce our per-unit handling and logistics costs, so we pass those savings along. The more tanks you buy or sell at once, the better the per-unit rate.
Market Supply
IBC tank pricing fluctuates with supply and demand. Seasonal agricultural cycles, manufacturing output, and raw material costs all influence current market rates.
Bulk Order Benefits
The more you order, the more you save. Our tiered pricing rewards larger purchases with better per-unit rates and additional perks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and selling IBC tanks with Myrtle Beach IBC.
What is the typical price range for a used IBC tank?
Prices vary widely based on condition, age, and grade. Economy tanks start around $75, while food-grade reconditioned tanks can range from $150 to $250+. Contact us for a current quote based on your specific needs.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes. Local delivery in the Myrtle Beach area is free on orders of 10+ tanks. Regional delivery across the Southeast is available at competitive flat rates. We can also arrange freight shipping nationwide.
How do I know what grade of tank I need?
It depends on your intended use. Food-grade tanks are required for potable water, beverages, and food products. Industrial-grade works for soaps, detergents, and non-hazardous chemicals. Economy-grade is great for rainwater collection, irrigation, and general storage.
What is the minimum quantity to sell tanks to you?
There is no minimum. We buy single tanks and entire warehouse lots alike. That said, per-unit pricing improves with larger quantities, and we offer free pickup for lots of 5 or more tanks within our service area.
How quickly can I get tanks after ordering?
In-stock tanks are typically available for pickup or delivery within 1 to 3 business days. Large bulk orders or special-order new tanks may take 1 to 2 weeks depending on availability.
Do you buy damaged or non-functional tanks?
Yes. We assess salvage value on damaged tanks. Even if the bottle is compromised, the cage, valve, and pallet components often have value. We also accept tanks for responsible recycling.
Can I inspect tanks before purchasing?
Absolutely. You are welcome to visit our Myrtle Beach facility to inspect inventory in person. We can also provide detailed photos and condition reports for remote buyers.
Do you provide documentation with purchased tanks?
Yes. All reconditioned tanks come with a cleaning certificate detailing the wash process and date. Food-grade tanks include documentation of previous contents when available. We also provide invoices and bills of sale for your records.
