Container Refurbishment

Fairport has the expertise to fully refurbish and repair your steel waste containers.

For over 32 years, we’ve been the trusted leader in steel waste container refurbishment. Our extensive experience and industry expertise ensure top-quality standards, reliable service, and cost-effective solutions for all your container refurbishment needs

Why Choose Refurishment?

Steel waste container refurbishment isn’t just about saving money; it’s about sustainability, safety, and protecting your brand. By refurbishing instead of replacing with new, you cut carbon emissions by up to 90% and support a low-carbon future while avoiding unnecessary waste.

We refurbish the vast majority of steel waste containers, from 8 yard skips, to RELs, FELs, RORO bins, Compactors and recycling banks, saving customers up to 75% compared to buying new. Our proven process restores even the most battered, bent, burnt, corroded, or tarnished containers to a virtually ‘as-new’ standard.

Refurbishment also ensures your containers remain safe and compliant with industry regulations, while keeping your branding sharp and professional. Act now to reduce costs, lower your carbon footprint, and maintain the highest standards for safety and brand image.

When Should you Refurbish?

Timing is everything when it comes to waste container refurbishment. Scheduling maintenance at the right time helps extend the lifespan of your containers, reduce long-term costs, and ensure compliance with industry safety standards.

For businesses looking to keep their brand image sharp, our Green Repairs are ideal—light maintenance including shot blasting, repainting, and new branding stickers.

If safety and structural integrity are your priority, our Amber Repairs provide essential fixes to damaged areas and maintain key safety points:  ratchets, slow release mechanism and labyrinth locks. Keeping your skips and containers compliant and secure. Both Green and Amber repairs are cost-effective and fit perfectly within planned maintenance programs.

However, once your containers reach the Red Repair stage, refurbishment costs can become financially unfeasible, and results may not meet your quality expectations. Acting early saves money and ensures your assets remain in top condition.
