An open-head plastic drum is also known as an open-top plastic drum. For these open-top drums, the top lid can be completely removed. The open-top plastic drums can be left open-topped (with no lid), or sealed with a secure lid and fastenings for transport or storage purposes. The container will be filled, and emptied, from the top portion by removing the lid. Open-top drums are durable, resilient, and strong enough to hold hazardous waste.
