IBC ToteTexas

Reuse ledger, year to date: 41,200 totes diverted from Texas landfills this year. 2,060k lb of HDPE kept in service. 1,772k lb of steel cage recovered. 3,140 tons of CO₂e avoided. 92% of our wash water recycled on site. 68 Texas counties served from one Austin yard. Full methodology at /sustainability/reuse-ledger.

Legal

It works with
JavaScript off.

That is not a slogan — it is the design constraint this site was built under. The navigation, the quote overlay and the lead form all function without a single line of client-side script.

The short answer

Every link on this site is a real anchor. The slide-out menu and the full-screen quote form are driven by CSS, not JavaScript. The lead form posts to the server and works without scripting. Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion. Contrast, focus indicators and semantic structure target WCAG 2.2 AA.

What we've built in

Works without JavaScript

  • Every navigation link is a real anchor element with a real href.
  • The slide-out main menu is driven by a checkbox and CSS, so it opens, closes and locks page scroll with scripting disabled.
  • The full-screen quote overlay works the same way, and the form inside it posts to the server without client-side code.
  • Sub-menus in the drawer are native disclosure elements, operable without script.
  • Frequently asked questions expand and collapse natively.

JavaScript, when present, adds refinement: Escape-to-close, focus management, scroll reveals and the impact calculator. Nothing essential depends on it.

Keyboard

  • A skip link is the first focusable element on every page.
  • Visible focus indicators throughout, with a high-contrast outline.
  • Menu and overlay toggles are reachable and operable by keyboard.
  • Logical tab order following the visual reading order.

Screen readers and structure

  • Semantic HTML: one h1 per page, ordered heading levels, real landmarks.
  • Data tables use captions, scope attributes and proper header cells.
  • All form fields have associated labels; errors are linked with aria-describedby.
  • Submission results are announced through live regions.
  • All meaningful graphics carry text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden.
  • The scrolling ledger ticker is hidden from assistive tech and duplicated as text.

Motion and colour

  • All animation respects prefers-reduced-motion, including the ticker, scroll reveals and the counter animations in the impact calculator.
  • Body text and interface text target at least 4.5:1 contrast against their background.
  • Colour is never the sole carrier of meaning — grades, states and errors carry text.

Responsive and zoom

  • Layouts reflow to 320 px width without horizontal scrolling.
  • Text scales to 200% without loss of content or function.
  • Wide reference tables scroll horizontally inside their own container, not the page.
  • Touch targets are sized for use with gloves on a yard.

Where we know we fall short

  • Some of the reference tables are genuinely wide. They scroll within their container, which is workable but not ideal on a small screen.
  • The impact calculator requires JavaScript. The underlying per-unit figures are published as plain text on the methodology page so the information is not gated.
  • The interactive tote diagram conveys spatial relationships that a text alternative can only approximate. Every component is also described in full text beneath it.

Standard we're working to

WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We test with keyboard-only navigation, with JavaScript disabled, at 200% zoom, and with screen reader software. We are not formally certified and we would rather tell you our actual gaps than display a badge.

Reporting a problem

Email info@ibctotestexas.com with “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and what happened. Include your browser and assistive technology if you know them.

We aim to acknowledge within two business days and to fix genuine barriers quickly. If something on this site is blocking you from getting a quote, write to us and we will simply handle the request by email instead — that route always works.

+What does 31HA1/Y mean?
Composite IBC for liquids (31), plastic inner receptacle (H), steel outer casing (A), category 1, approved for Packing Group II and III materials (Y).
+What about totes with product still in them?
Rinsed and drained only. We are not a hazardous waste disposal facility and cannot accept regulated waste. If your totes still hold product, you need a licensed disposal contractor.
+How high can I stack totes?
Empty, three high indoors on a level floor. Full and static, two high on matched pallets and improved level ground. In transit, never stack full totes.
+What about allergen control?
Washing reduces residue; it does not certify absence. If you produce allergen-free product, rebottle and dedicate the units rather than relying on a wash. No honest reconditioner will give you an allergen-free guarantee on a reused bottle.
+What's the difference between Grade A and food grade?
Documentation. Grade A means clean, straight and presentable. Food grade means every prior content is recorded and edible, and the unit was washed to a documented standard. A shiny tote is not a food-grade tote.
