IBC tote recycling in Manassas, Virginia

Contractors and industrial tenants

Building equipment contractors install and service chillers, boilers and air handlers, and the work leaves behind totes of glycol and treatment chemicals. Industrial tenants add whatever their process uses. The page cannot say how many; it can say how they are graded.

A contractor is often not the generator. Ask the building owner who holds the EPA ID before a tote moves.

Leasing and new docks

Sizable leases in Manassas, as in Springfield and Sterling, add loading docks across the city. Newer docks have a place for a forklift, which is useful when a request lists several totes.

Next steps

See the Prince William County page for employers, and the pickup-ready guide for the checklist.

The city versus the county

Manassas is an independent city with its own ZIP code, 20110, and its own entry, but it sits inside Prince William County’s geography and its list of employers. Our county page covers the employers; this page covers the city’s contractors and industrial tenants. A site here should mention the city, not just the county.

Where the county list stops

The county’s 50 largest employers include no Manassas-specific tote user in our sources. The page therefore relies on two published lines of work and the leasing report. Newer docks, a building equipment contractor’s yard and a tenant’s service area are where totes accumulate, so those are the places to look.

Contractor totes and the generator

Where a building equipment contractor leaves totes on a customer’s property, the customer is often the generator. Ask the customer’s facility office, not just the contractor, before the totes move.

Before you write from Manassas

Give the street, the unit and the ZIP code, 20110, and say who owns the totes. Remember that nobody has confirmed a pickup in Prince William County; a request tells us the site exists and lets us say whether one reaches it.

An independent city with county neighbors

Manassas is a city of its own, surrounded by Prince William County. Industrial tenants there include building equipment contractors, and the largest employers across the county are distribution and life-sciences organizations. Tell us the street, the unit and whether the site is inside the city or the county, because the two are separate jurisdictions even though they share roads and a labor market. No pickup is confirmed here; the request is how we find out whether one can be. A building equipment contractor’s yard, for instance, may hold sealants, adhesives and coatings in totes, and each of those is graded on its own sheet. Cartridges, pails and drums at the same yard are not totes and are outside this site’s scope.
