A 275 gallon non food grade tote is the compact caged IBC that previously held industrial, agricultural or other non-food contents. For rainwater, irrigation, wash water and compatible process liquids, it gives you the smaller, lower-profile tote without paying for a food history you do not need.

Most compact tote buyers are not putting food in them. Contractors, growers, landscapers, mobile washers and small plants want a container that holds a useful amount of liquid, moves on a pallet jack and fits places a tall tote will not. The non-food-grade listing at 275 gallons covers exactly that need, and it is where the most economical caged totes in this size usually sit. It sits under two broader pages: 275 gallon IBC totes for everything at this capacity, and non-food-grade IBC totes for this grade at both sizes.
Non food grade describes the tote's history: what it carried before was not a food, beverage or ingredient product. Previous contents vary by lot, so ask what a lot held and make sure it is compatible with what you plan to put in.
Exact unit details for the lot you are offered are confirmed with the quote.
Downspout collection, dust control water and job-site reserves. Pair with a tote cover to block sunlight. See rainwater and non-potable storage.
Irrigation reserves, spray-mix water and livestock water on uneven ground where a lower center of gravity helps. More in agriculture and irrigation.
Wash water, rinse holding, compatible process liquids and waste staging on a standard pallet footprint.
Both conditions are listed at this size. Used non-food-grade IBC totes are sold as returned from service, which suits buyers who will rinse them on site or put them into rough service. Reconditioned non-food-grade IBC totes have been rinsed and inspected, which helps when the tote goes straight into use or sits in front of customers. Ask what preparation and component work was done on any reconditioned lot.
Whether you pick up at a yard or receive a delivery, take five minutes per tote:
Caged IBCs are commonly UN-marked when new, but a reused IBC used to ship hazardous materials needs a current periodic test and inspection under 49 CFR. If you plan to transport regulated contents, raise it in your quote request. Unless your quote spells out retest status, assume the tote has not been retested.
The 275 gallon food grade tote is the same container with a food or ingredient history. Choose it only if your use calls for that history. The 330 gallon non food grade tote adds 55 gallons for about 7 inches of extra height and roughly 15 lb of extra empty weight; it is the better buy when you want maximum storage per pallet position and have the headroom. For more on sizing, see shop by size.

Yes, they are a common choice for rainwater and other non-potable water storage, as long as the prior contents are compatible and the tote is cleaned to your satisfaction. Add a cover to block sunlight and reduce algae growth, and a hose adapter if you want to feed a garden hose from the valve.
Choose 275 for lower height, lighter handling and tighter spaces such as trailers or barns. Choose 330 when you want the most storage per pallet position and have the headroom, since it is about 7 inches taller and holds 55 more gallons on a similar footprint.
Empty totes stack. Filled totes often can, but only within the stacking rating shown on the unit's label, and only on a level, solid surface with an undamaged cage and pallet. Check each tote's label and condition before stacking filled units.
