What that means for totes

Our reading: a building-materials maker and a vehicle distributor are the kinds of businesses that move liquids by the tote. Say what the tote last held.

Coastal homes should rinse and check cages for salt corrosion.

A city on a river and a pier, with a vehicle distributor and a materials company among its headquarters, has both coastal and industrial edges. Our reading: rinse and inspect any tote that has stood near salt water.

Before you buy in Deerfield Beach, check how close you are to the Intracoastal or the Hillsboro River. Salt air and flooding both matter, and a distributor's dock can have limited hours.

Our reading: a town with an auto-distribution headquarters and a building-materials maker is likely to see totes that held coatings, adhesives and washer fluids. Those are the cases where the last contents matter most, so list the product, the date and any safety data sheet you have. A tote that held a water-based product and was triple-rinsed grades differently from one that held a solvent, and we would rather know before it is described as clean.

If several totes came from the same supplier, say so; a matched group with one known product is faster to read than a mixed pile whose past is unclear.

For a distributor with a long dock, note the position of the totes: a stack near a loading door gets knocked and scuffed far more than one against a back wall.
