Box & Tank Rentals | CERT USA — Carolina Environmental Response Team
Bulk Storage & Containment Box & Tank Rentals Available 24/7 Across the Carolinas
CERT USA prides itself on mobilizing our rental equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you’re managing a planned industrial project, responding to an unexpected spill, or working a long-term remediation site, we deliver the right containment and storage solutions — fast. And when your containers are full, we don’t just pick them up: CERT provides complete waste characterization services and hauls loaded materials off site for compliant disposal, making us a true one-stop solution.
Box & Tank Rental Equipment Available from CERT USA
CERT USA maintains a diverse fleet of bulk storage vessels and containment equipment designed to support work at any project site — from emergency response scenarios to large-scale environmental remediation and industrial operations. Below is a breakdown of our available rental units and the applications they’re best suited for.
Roll-Off Boxes
Roll-off boxes are the workhorse of industrial and environmental job sites. CERT USA’s roll-off box fleet is available in multiple sizes and configurations to handle a wide range of solid and semi-solid waste streams.
Common uses include:
- Contaminated soil storage during UST removal and environmental remediation projects
- Construction and demolition debris collection
- Solid industrial waste containerization
- Staging materials for off-site disposal
Roll-off boxes are delivered and retrieved by our quad-axle dump truck fleet, allowing us to service remote or constrained job sites that standard haulers can’t reach. Boxes can be staged on site for short- or long-term projects and swapped out as they fill — keeping your operation moving without interruption.
Sludge Boxes
Sludge boxes are purpose-built for the containment and transport of wet, heavy, semi-solid waste materials that standard roll-off containers aren’t designed to handle. If your site is generating sludge from tank cleanouts, pond dredging, wastewater treatment, or industrial process operations, a sludge box is the right tool for the job.
Common uses include:
- Industrial tank cleaning and dewatering residuals
- Lagoon and pond cleanout sludge
- Wastewater treatment plant biosolids and solids
- Petroleum-impacted sediment from spill response operations
- Process sludge from manufacturing and food production facilities
Sludge boxes are constructed with reinforced walls and watertight seals to safely contain heavy, moisture-laden material without risk of leakage or structural failure during transport.
Dewatering Boxes
Dewatering boxes are a specialized type of containment unit that allows water to drain from solids while retaining all solid material within the container. They are lined with filter fabric or fitted with drainage ports that allow free water to separate from sludge and solids — reducing the overall volume and weight of material that needs to be hauled off site for disposal.
Common uses include:
- Dewatering dredge spoils from pond and lagoon cleanouts
- Separating water from excavated contaminated soils
- Stormwater sediment basin cleanouts
- Reducing disposal costs by lowering waste volume before transport
- Construction site sediment dewatering
Dewatering boxes are a cost-effective choice when your waste stream is high in moisture content — by separating and managing the liquid fraction on site, you reduce the number of hauls and overall disposal expense.
Frac Tanks
Frac tanks — short for fracturing tanks — are large, above-ground liquid storage vessels originally developed for the oil and gas industry and now widely used across environmental, industrial, and construction applications. CERT USA’s frac tanks provide high-capacity, temporary liquid storage for a variety of project needs throughout the Carolinas.
Common uses include:
- Temporary storage of contaminated groundwater during pump-and-treat remediation
- Holding tanks for process water, wash water, or leachate
- Emergency spill containment and temporary storage of recovered liquids
- Stormwater management and collection during construction
- Temporary fuel or chemical storage during plant turnarounds or shutdowns
- Hydrostatic testing water storage
Frac tanks are typically available in 500-barrel (21,000-gallon) configurations and can be manifolded together to create significantly larger storage capacity for high-volume projects. They are equipped with inlet/outlet connections, manways, and level gauges to support active project operations.
Vacuum Boxes
Vacuum boxes are specialized sealed containers designed to receive and store material transferred directly from vacuum trucks. Unlike open-top containers, vacuum boxes are fully enclosed and pressurized-rated, making them the right choice when handling hazardous, odorous, or volatile liquid and semi-solid waste that cannot be transferred in open containers.
Common uses include:
- Receiving hazardous liquid waste from industrial cleanouts
- Storing recovered materials from HAZMAT spill response operations
- Containing VOC-producing or odor-generating waste streams
- Holding petroleum-contaminated liquids pending waste characterization and disposal
- Supporting industrial cleaning projects involving chemical or regulated waste
Vacuum boxes are compatible with CERT USA’s vacuum truck fleet, allowing for seamless transfer of material from the truck to the storage unit without the need for intermediate handling — reducing risk and improving site efficiency.
Quad-Axle Dump Trucks
Complementing our rental container fleet, CERT USA operates its own fleet of quad-axle dump trucks to handle delivery, retrieval, and transport of loaded containers and bulk materials. Having our own dedicated hauling capacity means we’re not dependent on third-party carriers — which translates to faster turnaround times and more reliable scheduling for your project.
Our dump truck fleet supports:
- Delivery and pickup of roll-off boxes and sludge boxes
- Transport of contaminated soil to permitted disposal or remediation facilities
- Bulk material hauling for construction and remediation projects
- Support for UST closure and soil remediation projects requiring rapid soil removal
Waste Characterization & Off-Site Disposal — Included in Our Service
One of the key advantages of working with CERT USA for your container rental needs is our ability to manage the complete waste stream — not just the container. When your box or tank is full, CERT USA can:
- Characterize your waste through sampling and profiling to determine proper disposal classification
- Prepare all required manifests and documentation for regulated waste transport
- Transport loaded materials using our own licensed and permitted hauling fleet
- Arrange compliant off-site disposal at approved facilities in accordance with NC DEQ and EPA requirements
This end-to-end service eliminates the need to coordinate between multiple vendors — saving you time, money, and administrative headaches.
