About Us
We have developed into a small dynamic, company providing huge stocks of tanks, drums and fittings throughout the UK and parts of Europe. Combined with the expertise and knowledge to go with them. We have been at the forefront of environmental issues having been responsibly sourcing and recycling tanks and drums for decades. Smiths of the Forest of Dean Ltd hold a Waste Carriers Licence and an Environmental Permit Exemption which is registered with the Environment Agency. We hold a recycling licence as a metal merchant too. Our customer base has increased year-on-year and includes county councils, country estates, builders, cider makers, brewers, farmers, plumbers, heating engineers, film units, exhibition centres, environmental and waste disposal companies etc, as well as individual home owners and domestic users. We are proud of what we have achieved as a company, especially in our longstanding ongoing commitment to recycling, surplus (food-based) tanks and steel drums from companies and corporations. We have built up a lot of trust in our industry and became members of the FSB in 2009. In 2017 we joined SEDEX, an organisation promoting ethical supply chains, responsible sourcing and sustainable business practices. We were ahead of our time when we started selling recycled tanks and drums. We now supply some very big businesses, but have not lost sight of the importance of customer service and a first-rate response. Each week we get new customers from all over the UK calling in, not just buyers in our neighbouring counties and Bristol, but far and wide. Now we supply recycled and new tanks and drums, plus a huge range of fittings country-wide. You can ring us direct, we have friendly, knowledgeable staff, on the end of a telephone line or email ready to help you. If you want a single one-off drum or hundreds of drums or tanks a week we will provide a fast and efficient service for you.
