Los Angeles, California is the second-largest city in the United States and the economic engine of Southern California. With a population exceeding 4 million within the city limits and nearly 13 million in the metro area, Los Angeles has one of the most diverse and productive economies in the world. From entertainment to manufacturing, technology to agriculture, LA's businesses create enormous demand for intermediate bulk containers across virtually every industry sector.

Traveling via the I-5, I-405, or I-10 freeways, our delivery fleet reaches all parts of LA on a regular basis. Los Angeles falls within our Zone 3 service area, with 1-2 day delivery as our standard. For urgent needs, next-day and same-day rush options are available.

LA Food Manufacturer Cuts Container Costs While Scaling Production
A growing Los Angeles food manufacturer in the Vernon industrial district was scaling production rapidly but struggling with the cost of new IBC tanks. At $200+ per new food-grade container, their tank budget was eating into margins as they added production lines.
By switching to our used food-grade IBC tanks at 55% below new pricing, they maintained full FDA compliance while freeing up capital for production expansion. Our recurring weekly delivery from Orange County provides the consistent supply they need, and our recycling program handles their end-of-life containers. The result: better margins, reliable supply, and simplified container management as they scale.
