What that means for totes

Our reading: a port with sugar, molasses and cement cargo uses sticky and abrasive liquids. A tote that held molasses needs a thorough, careful rinse before anything else.

Say what yours held and the gate details.

A port, a bridge dive site and an island make Riviera Beach a working waterfront. Our reading: a tote that held a sticky cargo such as molasses is a cleaning job, and a request from a marina should name the dock and the water access.

Before you ask from Riviera Beach, check whether the tote is stuck with residue. Sticky cargo like molasses may need hot water and a long soak, and a marina tenant should ask the marina about fuel and wash-down rules.

A city that spans a port, a lagoon and an island has three sets of rules, so say whether your address is mainland, island or portside.

Our reading: a port city that handles sugar, molasses, cement and fuels is likely to see totes that held molasses, additives and port-side cleaners. A molasses tote is sticky and takes a hot rinse, but it can be clean when finished; a fuel tote is a different case entirely. Say which, because the same tote can be a reuse candidate or a recycler candidate depending on its last contents.

Port-side users with several different products should list them separately, since a group of molasses totes and a group of cement admixture totes are two different readings.

If you work near the port, say which loading dock or yard the totes now stand in and whether they are covered, because sun and salt wear a tote faster than the same tote stored under a roof.
