Surplus Chemical Buyers — Packaged Chemical Liquidation (Drums, Totes, Supersacks)
Waste Optima helps manufacturers and warehouses sell surplus packaged chemicals—sealed drums, totes, and supersacks—by matching lots to compliant surplus chemical buyers or approved recovery channels. Send SDS (required), COA/lot details (preferred), packaging, quantities, and photos. We’ll propose options (buy-out vs brokerage), coordinate transport through qualified carriers (hazmat when required), and document outcomes so your excess inventory stops behaving like waste.
How we handle surplus packaged chemicals
If you’re sitting on unused or over-ordered chemicals, we evaluate grade, documentation, and packaging, then route to compliant resale or reclamation outlets. Expect transparent pricing (buy-out or brokerage), DOT-appropriate transport, and chain-of-custody reporting—so excess inventory stops behaving like waste.

Reporting (sale confirmations; chain-of-custody)
Logistics & Coverage
Nationwide pickups • Dry van standard; hazmat carriers as needed • 5–10 business-day lead time from approved lot • Pallets labeled with product, batch, and count
Industries We Serve
Chemical manufacturers & blenders • Co-packers • Industrial distributors • Food/tech-grade distributors • Terminals
Documentation & Compliance
SDS required; COA/lot preferred • DOT/UN info for hazmat when applicable • W-9/COI/NDA available • Channel/geography restrictions honored
Case Example
A terminal had ~100 drums/totes after a buyer canceled. We placed totes with a regional buyer and drums via licensed distributors, clearing the lot in 10 days with compliant carriers—avoiding costly hazardous-waste disposal.
