Minimise Waste with Milestone’s Drum Recycling Program

Blog / Minimise Waste with Milestone’s Drum Recycling Program

Highlights

  • 25+ Years of Sustainability: Leading the way in drum recycling and reuse.
  • Strict Reuse Standards: Only drums meeting high safety and quality checks are reused.
  • Free Drum Collection: We collect used drums during deliveries for inspection and reuse.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Milestone Chemicals has championed environmental responsibility for over 25 years. Recognising our responsibility toward the environment, we created an on-site cleaning system at our manufacturing plant in West Heidelberg, VIC. Our drum recycling program helps reduce landfill waste and supports a circular economy.

How It Works

We collect empty 15L drums during deliveries and return them to our Melbourne facility. Each drum undergoes a rigorous inspection process to ensure it meets our strict quality and safety standards. Only drums that pass these checks are cleaned and prepared for reuse in manufacturing. This ensures product integrity and customer safety. Drums that show signs of wear, damage, or have exceeded their reuse limit are responsibly recycled into new products, helping extend the lifecycle of raw materials and reduce landfill waste.

Partnering for a Greener Future

At Milestone Chemicals, we’re proud to support our customers in reducing environmental impact through practical, cost-free solutions. As part of our drum recycling program, we collect eligible empty drums (15L, 110L, 200L, and 1,000L) during deliveries at no extra charge. By working together, we help businesses embrace sustainable practices and contribute to a cleaner, more responsible future.
