Why Haulers Buy From Cooper Tank

Published gauges and crossmember spacing, a factory you can call, and quotes priced from your actual spec.

80 Years in Steel

Founded in Brooklyn in 1946 and still family-owned. We have been building containers for haulers ever since.

2 Facilities

Brooklyn handles sales, distribution and repair. Waterbury, CT handles design and fabrication. One call reaches both.

Made in the USA

Our containers and compactors are fabricated at our own plants in Brooklyn and Waterbury, not bought from an overseas factory and relabeled.

NYC-Certified WBE

Cooper Tank is a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise, which counts toward supplier diversity goals on city and municipal purchases.

Made in the USA

Built in Brooklyn and Waterbury Since 1946

Our containers and compactors are fabricated in-house at our Brooklyn, NY and Waterbury, CT facilities. Seams are continuously MIG welded inside and out, and roll off containers are built to ANSI Z245.30.

Because we build the box, we can change it. Floor lengths from 8 to 23 feet, heavier floor and side packages, and replacement parts that match the original build.

From Our Customers

Customer Testimonials

“Ordered 40 roll-offs from Cooper. Got them in about a month. Welds were good, doors actually closed right, paint job held up. My drivers used to complain about the old ones every day. Now they don’t. I’ll take it.”

Mike DeLuca

Sterling Carting (Brooklyn)

“Our compactor at the Newburgh transfer station went down after 22 years. Called Cooper on a Tuesday, the East Coast Containers guys came out and measured Wednesday, new self-contained unit was running by the following week. Didn’t have to redo the pit, didn’t have to redo the electrical. That basically never happens.”

Anthony Russo

Hudson Valley Waste Services

“Been buying hook lifts from these guys for years. Needed a non-standard tub-style for a demo job in Newark last fall. Most places would’ve told me they couldn’t do it or tried to push me into three other things I didn’t need. The Waterbury shop just built it. Showed up when they said. Price was the price.”

Jim Hennessy

Hennessy Demolition & Carting

“I manage around 40 buildings across Brooklyn and Queens. For years I was getting calls from supers every other day about dumpsters overflowing and pickups missed. Cooper Tank came in, right-sized the containers per building, set up a swap schedule that actually works. I haven’t had a tenant email me about garbage in months. That alone is worth it.”
