On-Site Metal Drum Crushing Service
Safety and Liability
Plant managers want to avoid seeing drums build up at their facility due to concerns about housekeeping. Reducing the volume of empty drums needs to be done safely. Concerns about the liability associated with empty drums can be eliminated by crushing them and disposing of the slugs in an environmentally sound manner. Drumcrushers has been providing a service to manufacturing and service industries since 1992. We bring our mobile drum crushing unit to where the drums are and safely reduce the accumulation and haul them away. The trailer-mounted crusher is equipped with a diesel engine (no electricity required) and can crush a 55-gallon steel drum down to about a 4“ slug.
Drum Crushing
Drumcrushers offers an affordable solution to the increasingly difficult problem of drum disposal. Empty drums present a liability issue. We bring our mobile drum crushing equipment to your facility and quickly reduce your collection of drums to scrap metal. They are then ready to be recycled. In addition to 55-gallon steel drums, we can also crush your pails and cans.
To keep your facility neat and avoid the wrong type of attention, arrange for a regular schedule for drum crushing.

Recycled Steel and the Environment
The American Iron and Steel Institute reports that steel is 100 percent recyclable, but AISI member companies have reduced their energy intensity per ton of production by 35 percent and CO2 emissions intensity by 37 percent in the past three decades.
Steel is now North America's most recycled material, with an overall recycling rate of 88 percent.
Steel is continuously recyclable, which means it can be recycled over and over with no loss of performance.
Placing empty drums in a dumpster is not sustainable. It takes a lot of space (costly) and a landfill is not the right place for steel drums to end up. Keeping the steel recycling cycle going is easy with Drumcrushers and is an environmentally conscious choice.
