Used for safe transport or disposal of damaged, leaking or non-conforming containers (CFR 173.3), there is no time limit for the use of a Salvage Drum as long as it is fulfilling the definition of its use. Most frequently, Salvage Drums prove to be a safe, easy-to-use and inexpensive way to transport a damaged, leaking or non-confirming container to the nearest disposal or repackaging location. Should the contents pose a hazard to the environment, then the EPA should be consulted for guidance on the shipping paper requirements.
