Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All subsidiaries that are not wholly owned and are not included in the consolidated operating results of the Company are immaterial investments which have been accounted for under the equity or cost method. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amount of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses recorded and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of certain subsidiaries in Brazil. As further discussed in Note 6, the results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Accounting Standards Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 842 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 As Reported Adjustments Balances Without Adoption of ASC 842 Net sales $ 515,698 $ — $ 515,698 Cost of sales 344,386 — 344,386 Gross profit 171,312 — 171,312 Selling, general and administrative expenses 133,130 (135 ) 132,995 Impairment charges 916 — 916 Operating income 37,266 135 37,401 Interest expense, net 4,083 — 4,083 Income from continuing operations before income taxes 33,183 135 33,318 Income tax expense 8,968 36 9,004 Income from continuing operations $ 24,215 $ 99 $ 24,314 As of December 31, 2019 As Reported Adjustments Balances Without Adoption of ASC 842 Assets Right of use asset - operating leases $ 5,901 $ (5,901 ) $ — Deferred tax asset 5,807 298 6,105 Liabilities Other current liabilities $ 18,324 $ 230 $ 18,554 Operating lease liability - short-term 2,057 (2,057 ) — Operating lease liability - long-term 4,074 (4,074 ) — Other liabilities 22,582 1,102 23,684 Shareholders’ Equity Retained deficit $ (135,117 ) $ (804 ) $ (135,921 ) Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. . In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Translation of Foreign Currencies All asset and liability accounts of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the accounting period and income statement items are translated monthly at an average currency exchange rate for the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is the price to hypothetically sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly manner in the principal market for that asset or liability. Accounting standards prioritize the use of observable inputs in measuring fair value. The level of a fair value measurement is determined entirely by the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The three levels are (from highest to lowest): Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions. The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 13, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at $79.0 million and $76.8 million, respectively. The purchase price allocation associated with the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc., as described in Note 3, required fair value measurements using unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the income approach. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk primarily consist of trade accounts receivable. The concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is generally limited based on the Company’s diversified operations, with customers spread across many industries and countries. In 2019, there were no customers that accounted for more than ten percent of net sales. Outside of the United States, only customers located in Canada, which account for approximately 4.7% of net sales, are significant to the Company’s operations. In addition, management has established certain requirements that customers must meet before credit is extended. The financial condition of customers is continually monitored and collateral is usually not required. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. Additionally, the Company also reviews historical trends for collectability in determining an estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts. If economic circumstances change substantially, estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced by a material amount. Expense related to bad debts was approximately $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is recorded within selling expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deductions from the allowance for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, were approximately $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 40 percent of our inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued at the FIFO method of determining cost. Inventories at December 31 consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Finished and in-process products $ 32,537 $ 27,960 Raw materials and supplies 11,723 15,636 $ 44,260 $ 43,596 If the FIFO method of inventory cost valuation had been used exclusively by the Company, inventories would have been $4.4 million and $5.1 million higher than reported at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of sales decreased by $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of the liquidation of LIFO inventories. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization on the basis of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings 20 to 40 years Machinery and Equipment 3 to 10 years Leasehold Improvements 5 to 10 years The Company’s property, plant and equipment by major asset class at December 31 consists of: December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Land $ 6,622 $ 7,017 Buildings and leasehold improvements 43,803 53,821 Machinery and equipment 252,384 253,785 302,809 314,623 Less allowances for depreciation and amortization (247,845 ) (249,163 ) $ 54,964 $ 65,460 Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of potential impairment related to assets to be held and used is based upon undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset and related asset group. For assets held for sale, the amount of potential impairment may be based upon appraisal of the asset, estimated market value of similar assets or estimated cash flow from the disposition of the asset. Refer to Note 4 for discussion of impairment charges. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows: Foreign Currency Defined Benefit Pension Plans Total Balance at January 1, 2017 $ (32,342 ) $ (1,832 ) $ (34,174 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 2,391 (31 ) 2,360 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax of ($24) (1) (2) 17,201 72 17,273 Net current-period other comprehensive income (loss) 19,592 41 19,633 Balance at December 31, 2017 (12,750 ) (1,791 ) (14,541 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications (3,501 ) 14 (3,487 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax of ($21) (1) — 63 63 Reclassification of stranded tax effects to retained earnings (3) — (315 ) (315 ) Net current-period other comprehensive income (loss) (3,501 ) (238 ) (3,739 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 (16,251 ) (2,029 ) (18,280 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 1,649 209 1,858 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax of ($24) (1) — 73 73 Net current-period other comprehensive income (loss) 1,649 282 1,931 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ (14,602 ) $ (1,747 ) $ (16,349 ) (1) The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components related to defined benefit pension plans are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 15, Retirement Plans for additional details. (2) Cumulative translation adjustment associated with the 2017 sale of the Brazil Business, as further disclosed in Note 6, was realized as part of the loss on disposal included within discontinued operations when the subsidiary was disposed. (3) Reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings due to the adoption of ASU 2018-02 during the first quarter of 2018. Stock Based Compensation The Company has stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock-based compensation to employees and directors. Shares issued for option exercises, restricted stock units and performance units may be either from authorized, but unissued shares or treasury shares. For equity-classified awards, the fair value is determined on the date of the grant and not remeasured. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance units are determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (Level 1 measurement). The fair value of options are determined using a binomial lattice option pricing model as further described in Note 10, which uses market-based inputs (Level 2 measurement). Expense for all stock-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally equivalent to the vesting term. Forfeitures result in reversal of previously recognized expenses for unvested shares and are recognized in the period in which the forfeiture occurs. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be received or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates the recovery of its deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely heavily on estimates. In the ordinary course of business there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying certain income tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluations of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the reporting date to be recognized. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash flows used in investing activities excluded $0.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.6 million of accrued, but unpaid, capital expenditures in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |

Revenue Recognition | 2. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue by major market is as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Material Handling Distribution Inter-company Consolidated Consumer $ 71,272 $ — $ — $ 71,272 Vehicle 82,768 — — 82,768 Food and beverage 68,416 — — 68,416 Industrial 133,951 — (58 ) 133,893 Auto aftermarket — 159,349 — 159,349 Total net sales $ 356,407 $ 159,349 $ (58 ) $ 515,698 For the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Material Handling Distribution Inter-company Consolidated Consumer $ 78,174 $ — $ — $ 78,174 Vehicle 95,247 — — 95,247 Food and beverage 101,610 — — 101,610 Industrial 142,168 — (100 ) 142,068 Auto aftermarket — 149,636 — 149,636 Total net sales $ 417,199 $ 149,636 $ (100 ) $ 566,735 Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, the Company has not recorded any deferred revenue, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90 day time frame mentioned above. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Thus, the Company estimates the expected returns each period based on an analysis of historical experience. For certain businesses where physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, the Company records an estimated right to return asset from such recovery, based on the approximate cost of the product. Amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to revenue recognition include: December 31, December 31, Statement of Financial Position 2019 2018 Classification Returns, discounts and other allowances $ (589 ) $ (1,169 ) Accounts receivable Right of return asset 312 535 Inventories, net Customer deposits (269 ) (806 ) Other current liabilities Accrued rebates (2,349 ) (2,559 ) Other current liabilities Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for shipments to customers when control over products has transferred to the customer. Costs for shipments to customers are classified as selling expenses for the Company’s manufacturing businesses and as cost of sales for the Company’s distribution business in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company incurred costs for shipments to customers of approximately $8.4 million, $9.7 million and $8.2 million in selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $5.9 million, $5.7 million, and $6.0 million in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Based on the short term nature of contracts described above, the Company does not incur significant contract acquisition costs. These costs, as well as other incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, are recognized as expense as incurred. |

Acquisition | 3. Acquisition On August 26, 2019, the Company acquired the assets of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc. (“Tuffy”), a warehouse distributor of tire repair equipment and supplies, which is included in the Company’s Distribution Segment. The Tuffy acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy to grow in key niche markets and focus on strategic account customers. The purchase price for the acquisition was $18.7 million, which includes a preliminary estimated working capital adjustment of $0.7 million subject to further adjustment based on the final working capital. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash. The acquisition of Tuffy was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are subject to adjustment. The purchase accounting will be finalized within one year from the acquisition date. Assets acquired: Accounts receivable $ 2,105 Inventories 2,662 Prepaid expenses 43 Property, plant and equipment 124 Right of use asset - operating leases 229 Intangible assets 8,400 Goodwill 7,211 Assets acquired $ 20,774 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable $ 1,685 Accrued expenses 162 Operating lease liability - short term 112 Operating lease liability - long term 117 Total liabilities assumed 2,076 Net acquisition cost $ 18,698 The goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually and separately recognized, and the Company expects that the goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets included above consist of the following: Fair Value Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life Customer relationships $ 7,300 7.3 years Trade name 500 5.0 years Non-competition agreements 600 5.0 years Total amortizable intangible assets $ 8,400 |

Assets Held for Sale | 4. Assets Held for Sale As part of its ongoing strategy, the Company continues to evaluate its various real estate holdings and has sold certain facilities. When a facility becomes held for sale, it is evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of these buildings (using primarily third party offers considered to be Level 2 inputs), less estimated costs to sell. As a result of holding facilities for sale, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.9 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had classified $1.9 million and $4.4 million as buildings held for sale, in Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company sold certain buildings previously held for sale for net proceeds of $7.4 million, $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The buildings sold during 2019 and 2017 were included in the Company’s Material Handling Segment and the building sold in 2018 was included in the Company’s Distribution Segment. |

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and between annual tests if impairment indicators are present. Such indicators may include, but are not limited to, significant changes in economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the Company’s customer base or its businesses, or a material negative change in its relationships with significant customers. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment assessment as of October 1 for all of its reporting units found no impairment in continuing operations in 2019, 2018 or 2017. During 2019, management performed a qualitative assessment for all of its reporting units. After considering changes to assumptions used in the most recent quantitative annual testing for each reporting unit, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, the magnitude of the excess of fair value over the carrying amount of each reporting unit as determined in the most recent quantitative annual testing, and other factors, management concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than their respective carrying values and, therefore, did not perform a quantitative analysis in 2019. A qualitative analysis was also performed at October 1, 2018 and 2017. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: Distribution Material Handling Total January 1, 2018 $ 505 $ 59,466 $ 59,971 Foreign currency translation — (903 ) (903 ) January 1, 2019 $ 505 $ 58,563 $ 59,068 Acquisition 7,211 — 7,211 Foreign currency translation — 495 495 December 31, 2019 $ 7,716 $ 59,058 $ 66,774 Intangible assets were established in connection with acquisitions. These intangible assets, other than goodwill and certain trade names, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company performed an annual impairment assessment for the indefinite lived trade names as of October 1, 2019, 2018 and 2017. In performing this assessment the Company uses an income approach, based primarily on Level 3 inputs, to estimate the fair value of the trade name. An impairment charge would be recorded if the carrying value of the trade name exceeds the estimated fair value at the date of assessment. Refer to Note 3 for the intangible assets acquired through the Tuffy acquisition during 2019. Intangible assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following: 2019 2018 Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life (years) Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Trade Names - Indefinite Lived $ 9,782 $ — $ 9,782 $ 9,782 $ — $ 9,782 Trade Names 4.8 580 (84 ) 496 80 (45 ) 35 Customer Relationships 1.7 47,656 (38,096 ) 9,560 39,521 (31,896 ) 7,625 Technology 4.6 24,980 (14,624 ) 10,356 24,980 (12,142 ) 12,838 Non-competition agreements 4.7 600 (40 ) 560 — — — Patents 0.0 11,730 (11,730 ) — 11,730 (11,730 ) — $ 95,328 $ (64,574 ) $ 30,754 $ 86,093 $ (55,813 ) $ 30,280 Intangible amortization expense was $8,077, $8,099 and $8,378 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives for the next five years is: $6,165 in 2020; $3,554 in 2021; $3,554 in 2022; $3,554 in 2023 and $2,366 in 2024. |

Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Disposal of Businesses | 6. Disposal of Businesses On December 18, 2017, the Company, collectively with its wholly owned subsidiary, Myers Holdings Brasil, Ltda. (“Holdings”), completed the sale of its subsidiaries, Myers do Brasil Embalagens Plasticas Ltda. and Plasticos Novel do Nordeste Ltda. (collectively, the “Brazil Business”), to Novel Holdings – Eireli (“Buyer”), an entity controlled by a member of the Brazil Business’ management team. The divestiture of the Brazil Business allows the Company to focus resources on its core businesses and additional growth opportunities. The Brazil Business is a leading designer and manufacturer of reusable plastic shipping containers, plastic pallets, crates and totes used for closed-loop shipping and storage in Brazil’s automotive, distribution, food, beverage and agriculture industries. The sale of the Brazil Business included manufacturing facilities and offices located in Lauro de Freitas City, Bahia, Brazil Pursuant to the terms of the Quota Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Holdings and Buyer (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Buyer paid a purchase price of one U.S. Dollar to the Company and assumed all liabilities and obligations of the Brazil Business, whether arising prior to or after the closing of the transaction. There are no additional amounts due, or to be settled, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement with the Buyer. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of the Brazil Business during the fourth quarter of 2017 of $35.0 million, which included $1.2 million of cash held by the Brazil Business and approximately $0.3 million of costs to sell. In addition, the Company recorded a U.S. tax benefit of approximately $15 million in 2017 as a result of a worthless stock deduction related to the Company’s investment in the Brazil Business. As a result of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax filings in 2018, the Company reduced this estimated tax benefit by $0.7 million and recognized this adjustment within net loss from discontinued operations. The Company agreed to be the guarantor under a factoring arrangement between the Buyer and Banco Alfa de Investimento S.A. until December 31, 2019 for up to $7 million, in the event the Buyer was unable to meet its obligations under this arrangement. The Company also held a first lien against certain machinery and equipment, exercisable only upon default by the Buyer under the guarantee. Based on the nature of the guarantee, as well as the existence of the lien, the Company estimated the fair value of the guarantee was immaterial (based primarily on Level 3 inputs), and did not record a liability and was ultimately not required to make any payments related to this guarantee. This guarantee also created a variable interest in the Brazil Business until its expiration on December 31, 2019. However, based on the terms of the transaction and the fact that the Company had no management involvement or voting interests in the Brazil Business following the sale, the Company did not have any power to direct the significant activities of the Brazil Business, and was not the primary beneficiary. On February 17, 2015, the Company sold its Lawn and Garden business to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P. (“L&G Buyer”). The terms of the sale included promissory notes totaling $20 million that were originally set to mature in August 2020 with a 6% interest rate. During the third quarter of 2018, management of the Lawn and Garden business, now named HC Companies, Inc. (“HC”), requested an extension to the maturity of the notes as part of an effort to restructure their debt. Due to uncertainty about the ability to collect on the notes and corresponding accrued interest, the Company recorded a provision for expected loss of $23.0 million within continuing operations to Other Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the third quarter of 2018 to fully impair the notes and corresponding interest receivable. The Company also ceased recognizing interest income following the recording of the provision. Prior to the impairment, interest income recognized on the notes receivable was $1.0 million and $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, based on the stated interest rate. In April 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with HC to amend and restate the notes (“Amended and Restated Notes”). The Amended and Restated Notes maintained the amounts due under the original terms of the notes, including interest, and extended the maturity to August 2022. The agreement to amend and restate the notes did not change management’s assessment of the uncertainty to collect on the notes and they remained fully reserved. As described in Note 18, the Company sold the notes to HC in January 2020 in exchange for $1.2 million and the release of the lease guarantee described in Note 12. In addition, approximately $8.6 million of the purchase price related to the Lawn and Garden sale was placed in escrow, of which $7.4 million was released to the Company in the second quarter of 2018, pursuant to the terms of a settlement. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.2 million to discontinued operations in 2018 for the reduction in the escrow receivable. Summarized selected financial information for discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 are presented in the following table: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017* Net sales $ — $ — $ 29,976 Cost of sales — — 25,359 Selling, general, and administrative — 1,348 6,748 (Gain) loss on disposal of assets — — (32 ) Interest income, net (174 ) — (286 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income tax 174 (1,348 ) (36,769 ) Income tax expense (benefit) 56 353 (16,036 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax $ 118 $ (1,701 ) $ (20,733 ) * Includes Brazil Business operating results through December 18, 2017. Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations in 2019 and 2018 primarily related to the receipt of the tax benefit from a worthless stock deduction, which was recognized as part of the sale of the Brazil Business. Net cash flows from discontinued operations in 2018 were also partially offset by the payment of expenses related to the sale of the Brazil Business and the payment of the settlement with the L&G Buyer noted above. |

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share | 7. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net income (loss) per common share, as shown on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, is determined on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Weighted average common shares outstanding basic 35,491,958 33,426,855 30,222,289 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock 161,189 — 340,357 Weighted average common shares outstanding diluted 35,653,147 33,426,855 30,562,646 Options to purchase 470,185 and 242,500 shares of common stock that were outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2017, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options was greater than the average market price of common shares, and were therefore anti-dilutive. Due to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018, diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted-average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards is anti-dilutive. |

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring | 8. Restructuring In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Company’s Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan and Bristol, Indiana facilities with expanded operations in a new facility in Bristol, Indiana (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement where a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana will be constructed, and when substantially complete, the Company will lease that new facility and sell its existing facility in Bristol, Indiana. In December 2019, the Company also provided one year advance termination notice on the lease of its Cassopolis, Michigan facility. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed in the second half of 2020 and total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $1.1 million, primarily related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs. No costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan. See further discussion of the new facility lease in Note 16. In March 2019, the Company also committed to implementing transformation initiatives within the Company’s Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company realigned its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which included the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, and put into place plans to expand its e-commerce platform. All actions under the Distribution Transformation Plan were substantially completed by the end of 2019. During 2019, restructuring charges related to the Distribution Transformation Plan totaled $0.9 million. In March 2017, the Company announced a restructuring plan to improve its organizational structure and operational efficiency within the Material Handling Segment (the “Material Handling Plan”), which primarily related to facility shutdowns and associated activities. Total restructuring costs incurred related to the Material Handling Plan were approximately $7.7 million, including approximately $3.1 million of employee severance and other employee-related costs, approximately $2.6 million of equipment relocation and facility shut down costs and approximately $2.0 million of non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation. All actions under the Material Handling Plan were substantially completed by the end of 2017. The Company incurred $0.1 million and $7.6 million of restructuring charges associated with the Material Handling Plan during 2018 and 2017, respectively. No costs were incurred during 2019. In 2018 and 2017, the Company also recognized gains of $0.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, on asset dispositions in connection with the planned facility closures under the Material Handling Plan. The restructuring charges noted above recognized in the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017 are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Segment Cost of Sales SG&A Total Cost of Sales SG&A Total Cost of sales SG&A Total Distribution $ — $ 865 $ 865 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Material Handling — — — 119 — 119 7,389 164 7,553 Total $ — $ 865 $ 865 $ 119 $ — $ 119 $ 7,389 $ 164 $ 7,553 The table below summarizes restructuring activity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: Employee Reduction Accelerated Depreciation Other Exit Costs Total Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 1,098 $ — $ 90 $ 1,188 Charges to expense 31 16 72 119 Cash payments (1,099 ) — (162 ) (1,261 ) Non-cash utilization — (16 ) — (16 ) Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 30 $ — $ — $ 30 Charges to expense 865 — — 865 Cash payments (895 ) — — (895 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ — $ — $ — $ — In addition to the restructuring costs noted above, the Company also incurred other costs associated with the restructuring plans, primarily related to consulting.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock Compensation | 10. Stock Compensation The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to issue up to 5,126,950 shares of various stock awards including stock options, performance-based restricted stock units, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based awards to key employees and directors. Options granted and outstanding vest over the requisite service period and expire ten years from the date of grant. The following tables summarize stock option activity in the past three years. Stock compensation expense was approximately $1,715, $4,257 and $3,626 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses. During 2019, the Company reversed previously recognized compensation expense of $2,031 related to the resignation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer effective October 25, 2019. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements at December 31, 2019 was approximately $3,353 which will be recognized over the next three years, as such compensation is earned. Options granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Year Options Exercise Price 2019 235,474 $ 18.54 2018 255,072 $ 21.30 2017 397,759 $ 14.30 Options exercised in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Year Options Exercise Price 2019 221,695 $11.62 to $14.30 2018 191,169 $9.97 to $20.93 2017 375,292 $9.97 to $20.93 In addition, options totaling 268,545, 86,411 and 218,130 expired or were forfeited during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Year Outstanding Range of Exercise Prices Exercisable Weighted Exercise Price 2019 710,893 $10.10 to $21.30 486,382 $ 17.31 2018 965,659 $10.10 to $21.30 521,202 $ 16.08 2017 988,167 $9.97 to $20.93 539,993 $ 16.23 The fair value of options granted is estimated using an option pricing model based on the assumptions set forth in the following table. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee exercise and departure behavior. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and through the expected term. The dividend yield rate is based on the Company’s historical dividend yield. The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of the Company’s shares and those of similar companies measured against the market as a whole. The Company used the binomial lattice option pricing model based on the assumptions set forth in the following table. 2019 2018 2017 Risk free interest rate 2.70 % 2.90 % 2.50 % Expected dividend yield 2.76 % 2.50 % 3.80 % Expected life of award (years) 6.17 4.00 4.10 Expected volatility 44.89 % 42.50 % 50.00 % Fair value per option $ 5.78 $ 6.30 $ 4.47 The following table provides a summary of stock option activity for the period ended December 31, 2019: Shares Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Life (in Years) Outstanding at December 31, 2018 965,659 $ 16.69 Options granted 235,474 18.54 Options exercised (221,695 ) 13.26 Canceled or forfeited (268,545 ) 18.36 Expired — — Outstanding at December 31, 2019 710,893 17.75 5.96 Exercisable at December 31, 2019 486,382 $ 17.31 4.72 The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $732, $1,745 and $2,813, respectively. The following table provides a summary of restricted stock units, including performance-based restricted stock units, and restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2019: Shares Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested shares at December 31, 2018 423,795 Granted 253,318 $ 18.14 Vested (151,823 ) 15.35 Forfeited (256,023 ) 16.95 Unvested shares at December 31, 2019 269,267 Restricted stock units are rights to receive shares of common stock, subject to forfeiture and other restrictions, which vest over a one or three year period. Restricted stock units are considered to be non-vested shares under the accounting guidance for share-based payment and are not reflected as issued and outstanding shares until the restrictions lapse. At that time, the shares are released to the grantee and the Company records the issuance of the shares. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the market price of the underlying shares on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. At December 31, 2019, restricted stock awards had vesting periods through October 2022. Included in the December 31, 2019 unvested shares are 112,541 performance-based restricted stock units. The fair value of these awards is calculated using the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In determining fair value per share, the Company does not take into account performance-based vesting requirements. For these awards, the performance-based vesting requirements determines the number of shares that ultimately vest, which can vary from 0% to 200% of target depending on the level of achievement of established performance criteria. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period subject to adjustment based on the probable number of shares expected to vest under the performance condition. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | 12. Contingencies The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. When a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the most likely amount of the estimated probable loss is recorded, or if a range of probable loss can be estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates revised, if necessary. Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, including those described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods. New Idria Mercury Mine In September 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed a subsidiary of the Company, Buckhorn, Inc. (“Buckhorn”) via a notice letter and related documents (the “Notice Letter”) that it considers Buckhorn to be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in connection with the New Idria Mercury Mine site (“New Idria Mine”). New Idria Mining & Chemical Company (“NIMCC”), which owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. in 1981, which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries in 1987. As a result of the EPA Notice Letter, Buckhorn and the Company engaged in negotiations with the EPA with respect to a draft Administrative Order of Consent (“AOC”) proposed by the EPA for the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) to determine the extent of remediation necessary and the screening of alternatives. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company and the EPA finalized the AOC and related Statement of Work (“SOW”) with regards to the New Idria Mine. The AOC is effective as of November 27, 2018, the date that it was executed by the EPA. The AOC and accompanying SOW document the terms, conditions and procedures for the Company’s performance of the RI/FS. In addition, the AOC required the Company to provide $2 million of financial assurance to the EPA to secure its performance during the estimated life of the RI/FS. In January 2019, the Company provided a letter of credit to satisfy this assurance requirement. The AOC also includes provisions for payment by the Company of the EPA’s costs of oversight of the RI/FS, including a prepayment in the amount of $0.2 million, which was paid in January 2019. A draft work plan for the RI/FS, in accordance with the AOC and related SOW, was submitted to the EPA for review and approval in July 2019. Upon preparation of the draft work plan for the RI/FS, the Company received preliminary estimates from its consultants for the cost of the execution of the work plan. Based on these preliminary estimates, the Company recognized additional expense of $4.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. These preliminary estimates will continue to be refined through the finalization and approval of the draft work plan, which is anticipated to occur in 2020. The Company believes it has insurance coverage that applies to the New Idria Mine and thus may be able to recover a portion of the estimated costs; however, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has not recognized potential recovery in its consolidated financial statements. Since October 2011, when New Idria was added to the Superfund National Priorities List by the EPA, the Company has recognized $9.9 million of costs, of which approximately $3.2 million has been paid through December 31, 2019. These costs are comprised primarily of estimates to perform the RI/FS, negotiation of the AOC, identification of possible insurance resources and other PRPs, EPA oversight fees, past cost claims made by the EPA, periodic monitoring, and responses to unilateral administrative orders issued by the EPA. Expenses of $4.0 million, $0.2 million, and $1.3 million were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a total reserve of $6.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to the New Idria Mine. As of December 31, 2019, $1.2 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $5.5 million is classified in Other Liabilities (long-term). It is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary as new information is obtained, including after finalization and EPA approval of the work plan for the RI/FS. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the extent of oversight by the EPA, and the number and financial condition of other PRPs that may be named as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. At this time, the Company has not accrued for remediation costs in connection with this site as it has been unable to estimate the liability, given the circumstances referred to above, including the fact that the final remediation strategy has not yet been determined. New Almaden Mine (formerly referred to as Guadalupe River Watershed) A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn (as successor to NIMCC), were alleged by trustee agencies of the United States and the State of California to be responsible for natural resource damages due to environmental contamination of areas comprising the historical New Almaden mercury mines located in the Guadalupe River Watershed region in Santa Clara County, California (“County”). In 2005, Buckhorn and the Company, without admitting liability or chain of ownership of NIMCC, resolved the trustees’ claim against them through a consent decree that required them to contribute financially to the implementation by the County of an environmentally beneficial project within the impacted area. Buckhorn and the Company negotiated an agreement with the County whereby Buckhorn and the Company agreed to reimburse one-half of the County’s costs of implementing the project, originally estimated to be approximately $1.6 million. As a result, in 2005, the Company recognized expense of $0.8 million $0.5 $3.3 million and $4.4 million. $1.2 The project has not yet been implemented, though significant work on design and planning has been performed. The Company is awaiting notice from Santa Clara County on the expected timing of fieldwork to commence. As work on the project occurs, it is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary to reflect new information. Lawn and Garden Lease Guarantee In connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, as described in Note 6, the Company became a guarantor for one of HC’s facility leases expiring in September 2025 for any remaining rent payments under the lease if HC was unable to meet its obligations. Annual rent for the facility is approximately $2 million. In connection with the financial risk associated with HC, as described in Note 6, the Company assessed its range of potential obligations under the lease guarantee and recorded a liability and related pre-tax charge of $10.3 million during 2018. The carrying value of the lease obligation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $10.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, which represents the initial liability recorded plus accretion and is included in Other Liabilities (long-term). The 2018 charge to initially record this lease guarantee liability was included in Other Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As described in Notes 6 and 18, the Company was released from this lease guarantee in January 2020 as part of an agreement to sell promissory notes receivable back to HC. Patent Infringement On December 11, 2018, No Spill Inc. filed suit against Scepter Manufacturing LLC and Scepter Corporation (“Scepter”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting infringement of two patents, breach of contract, and trade dress claims in relation to plastic gasoline containers Scepter manufactures and sells in the United States. A schedule in the case has not yet been issued. Scepter intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, and is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves for this matter. |

Long-Term Debt and Loan Agreements | 13. Long-Term Debt and Loan Agreements Long-term debt at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Loan Agreement $ — $ — 4.67% Senior Unsecured Notes due January 15, 2021 40,000 40,000 5.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due January 15, 2024 11,000 11,000 5.30% Senior Unsecured Notes due January 15, 2024 15,000 15,000 5.45% Senior Unsecured Notes due January 15, 2026 12,000 12,000 78,000 78,000 Less unamortized deferred financing costs 824 1,210 $ 77,176 $ 76,790 In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement amended the pre-existing senior revolving credit facility’s borrowing limit to $200 million, inclusive of letters of credit, and extended the maturity date from December 2018 to March 2022. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $194.2 million available under the Loan Agreement after $5.8 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other financing contracts in the ordinary course of business, including the $2 million provided to the EPA as discussed in Note 12. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the eurocurrency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, in each case plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”) range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between 2021 and 2026. In September 2017, the Company offered to all Note holders to purchase all or a portion of the then-outstanding $100 million Notes prior to their maturity dates. In October 2017, one note holder accepted the offer and elected to tender $22 million in Notes. The Company purchased the Notes from the holder on October 31, 2017 for approximately $23.8 million, which includes the outstanding principal balance of $22.0 million and a make-whole premium of $1.8 million. A loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million was recorded during 2017, which consisted of the make-whole premium plus unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.1 million. Amortization expense of the deferred financing costs was $386, $386, and $508 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in interest expense. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s loan agreements were 6.27% for 2019, 5.75% for 2018, and 4.94% for 2017, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Agreement and Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted).

Income Taxes | 14. Income Taxes The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 27.0% in 2019, 218.7% in 2018 and 31.0% in 2017. A reconciliation of the Federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows: Percent of Income before Income Taxes 2019 2018 2017 Statutory Federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes - net of Federal tax benefit 5.2 42.5 8.3 Foreign tax rate differential — 3.9 (1.6 ) Domestic production deduction — — (5.2 ) Non-deductible expenses 1.0 93.8 0.4 Impact of tax law changes — 22.1 (7.4 ) Changes in unrecognized tax benefits 0.4 42.9 0.9 Foreign tax incentives (0.4 ) (3.1 ) — Other (0.2 ) (4.4 ) 0.6 Effective tax rate for the year 27.0 % 218.7 % 31.0 % Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes was attributable to the following sources: 2019 2018 2017 United States $ 33,612 $ 419 $ 12,979 Foreign (429 ) 970 2,729 Totals $ 33,183 $ 1,389 $ 15,708 Income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations consisted of the following: 2019 2018 2017 Current Deferred Current Deferred Current Deferred Federal $ 7,270 $ (447 ) $ 9,694 $ (7,910 ) $ 6,304 $ (4,394 ) Foreign 497 (538 ) 1,218 (718 ) 1,821 (883 ) State and local 2,123 63 1,575 (822 ) 2,402 (386 ) $ 9,890 $ (922 ) $ 12,487 $ (9,450 ) $ 10,527 $ (5,663 ) On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act established a corporate income tax rate of 21%, replacing the former 35% rate, and created a territorial tax system rather than a worldwide system, which generally eliminated the U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The transition to the territorial system included a one-time deemed repatriation transition tax (“Transition Tax”) on certain foreign earnings previously untaxed in the United States. At December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an initial provisional net benefit to income tax expense of $1.2 million related to the enactment of the Tax Act. This net benefit included a provisional deferred tax benefit of $3.0 million related to revaluing the net U.S. deferred tax liabilities to reflect the lower U.S. corporate tax rate. The deferred tax benefit was offset by a provision of $1.8 million related to the Transition Tax. Based on the finalized accounting and preparation of the Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal Tax Return, the Company recorded a reduction of income tax expense of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to reflect adjustments to the previously recognized provisional amounts under the Tax Act. In addition, in 2018 the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.6 million associated with an uncertain tax position related to the calculation of the Transition Tax included in the 2017 return. During 2018, the Company recorded a provision and related deferred tax liability of $0.6 million related primarily to the earnings of the Company’s subsidiary in Guatemala, which were deemed by management to no longer be permanently reinvested. The E&P for all foreign subsidiaries has been previously included in the calculation of the Transition Tax, and thus, should there be a repatriation of earnings from any other foreign subsidiaries in future periods, the Company expects to be subject to only foreign withholding tax. Management does not currently anticipate a repatriation of earnings from any other foreign subsidiaries, except as provided above, as these earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested. Significant components of the Company’s deferred taxes as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: 2019 2018 Deferred income tax assets Compensation $ 2,268 $ 2,774 Inventory valuation 873 695 Allowance for uncollectible accounts 290 237 Provision for loss on note receivable 5,031 5,031 Non-deductible accruals 5,370 4,196 Operating lease liability 1,288 — Non-deductible intangibles 1,862 1,574 State deferred taxes 730 843 Capital loss carryforwards 1,982 1,982 19,694 17,332 Valuation allowance (1,982 ) (1,982 ) 17,712 15,350 Deferred income tax liabilities Property, plant and equipment 4,867 4,247 Tax-deductible goodwill 4,862 5,089 Right of use asset - operating leases 1,239 — Other 937 744 11,905 10,080 Net deferred income tax asset $ 5,807 $ 5,270 Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Available evidence includes the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years and tax planning strategies. Based on the current available evidence, the Company considers the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 to be fully realizable except for the deferred tax asset related to the capital loss carryforward described below. As further discussed in Note 6, the Company sold its investments in certain Brazilian subsidiaries in December 2017. In connection with this divestiture, the Company incurred a capital loss of $9.5 million on its investment in the Myers do Brazil business and recorded a deferred tax asset of $2.0 million for this capital loss carryforward. A valuation allowance of $2.0 million is recorded against this deferred tax asset as the recovery of the asset is not more likely than not. The Company also recorded a tax benefit of approximately $15 million generated as a result of a worthless stock deduction for the Novel do Nordeste business included in the divestiture. Although management believes that the worthless stock deduction is valid, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge it and, if challenged, that the Company will prevail. This tax benefit is included in the net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. As a result of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax filings in 2018, the Company reduced this estimated tax benefit by $0.7 million and recognized this adjustment within net loss from discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2018. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits: 2019 2018 2017 Balance at January 1 $ 955 $ 359 $ 478 Increases related to previous year tax positions 143 596 359 Reductions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations — — (478 ) Balance at December 31 $ 1,098 $ 955 $ 359 The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Retirement Plans | 15. Retirement Plans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have pension and profit sharing plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, The Pension Agreement between Akro-Mils and United Steelworkers of America Local No. 1761-02 Net periodic pension cost of the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Interest cost $ 242 $ 224 $ 253 Expected return on assets (184 ) (317 ) (295 ) Amortization of net loss 97 84 96 Net periodic pension cost $ 155 $ (9 ) $ 54 The reconciliation of changes in the Plan’s projected benefit obligations and assets are as follows: December 31, 2019 2018 Change in benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 5,944 $ 6,579 Interest cost 242 224 Actuarial loss (gain) 510 (362 ) Expenses paid — (135 ) Benefits paid (357 ) (362 ) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 6,339 $ 5,944 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 4,737 $ 5,261 Actual return on plan assets 972 (27 ) Company contributions 31 — Expenses paid — (135 ) Benefits paid (357 ) (362 ) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 5,383 $ 4,737 Funded status $ (956 ) $ (1,207 ) The Plan’s funded status shown above is included in Other Liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company expects to make a contribution to the plan of $150 in 2020. Because the Plan has been frozen, the accumulated benefit obligation is equal to the projected benefit obligation. The assumptions used to determine the Plan’s net periodic benefit cost and benefit obligations are as follows: December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Discount rate for net periodic pension cost 4.20 % 3.50 % 4.00 % Discount rate for benefit obligations 3.10 % 4.20 % 3.50 % Expected long-term return of plan assets 7.00 % 7.50 % 7.75 % The expected long-term rate of return is based on the long-term expected returns for the investment mix consistent with the Plan’s current asset allocation and investment policy. In 2018, the Plan’s asset allocation and investment policy transitioned from a total-return strategy to a liability-driven strategy, which increased the allocation of fixed income investments that are managed to match the duration of the underlying pension liability. The assumed discount rates represent long-term high quality corporate bond rates commensurate with the liability duration of the Plan. The fair value of Plan assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consist of mutual funds valued at $2,829 and $2,352, respectively, and pooled separate accounts valued at $2,554 and $2,385, respectively. All of the Plan asset values are categorized as Level 1. Mutual fund values are determined based on period end, closing quoted prices in active markets. The pooled separate accounts are measured at net asset value, which is made readily available to investors. Each of the pooled separate accounts invest in multiple fixed securities and provide for daily redemptions by the plan with no advance notice requirements, and have redemption prices that are also determined by the fund’s net asset value per unit with no redemption fees. The weighted average asset allocations for the Plan at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: December 31, 2019 2018 U.S. Equities securities 53 % 50 % U.S. Debt securities 47 % 50 % 100 % 100 % Benefit payments projected for the Plan are as follows: 2020 $ 360 2021 350 2022 350 2023 360 2024 360 2025-2029 1,840 The Myers Industries Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan is maintained for the Company’s U.S. based employees, not covered under defined benefit plans, who have met eligibility service requirements. The Company recognized expense related to the 401(k) employer matching contribution in the amount of $2,500, $2,216 and $2,302 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition, the Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) to provide certain former senior executives with retirement benefits in addition to amounts payable under the 401(k) plan. Expense related to the SERP was approximately $174, $33 and $128 for the years ended December 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The SERP liability was based on the discounted present value of expected future benefit payments using a discount rate of 3.1% at December 31, 2019 and 4.2% at December 31, 2018. The SERP liability was approximately $2,200 and $2,449 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in Accrued Employee Compensation and Other Liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The SERP is unfunded. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 16. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to nine years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the statement of financial position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amounts included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position related to leases include: December 31, 2019 Right of use asset - operating leases $ 5,901 Operating lease liability - short-term $ 2,057 Operating lease liability - long-term 4,074 Total operating lease liabilities $ 6,131 The components of lease expense include: For the Year Ended December 31, Lease Cost Classification 2019 2018 2017 Operating lease cost (1) Cost of sales $ 1,744 $ 1,696 $ 1,718 Operating lease cost (1) Selling, general and administrative expenses 1,741 1,616 1,480 Total lease cost $ 3,485 $ 3,312 $ 3,198 (1) Includes short-term leases and variable lease costs, which are immaterial Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Year Ended Supplemental Cash Flow Information December 31, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2,428 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities: Operating leases $ 2,083 Lease Term and Discount Rate December 31, 2019 Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) Operating leases 4.23 Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 5.0 % Maturity of Lease Liabilities - As of December 31, 2019 Operating Leases 2020 $ 2,304 2021 1,339 2022 1,189 2023 1,016 2024 339 After 2024 621 Total lease payments 6,808 Less: Interest (677 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 6,131 Future minimum rental commitments (undiscounted) as of December 31, 2018 under ASC 840 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 $ 2,492 2020 1,739 2021 982 2022 966 2023 841 Thereafter 811 $ 7,831 In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement where a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana will be constructed, and when it is substantially complete, the Company will lease that new facility and sell its existing facility in Bristol, Indiana. As described in Note 8, this agreement was in connection with the Ameri-Kart Plan, which includes facility consolidation for this business within the Material Handling Segment. This lease is not included in the tables disclosed above because it has not yet commenced; it commences when the facility is substantially complete, which is expected to be in the second half of 2020. Upon commencement, the lease has an initial term of fifteen years with base annual rent of approximately $0.8 million during the first year. Inclusive of scheduled increases the total expected future minimum lease payments during the initial term of the lease is approximately $13.5 million, but may vary depending on the actual cost of certain construction activities. At commencement of this lease, the Company expects assets and liabilities within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position to each increase by approximately $9 million. In February 2018, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction for its distribution center in Pomona, California for a net purchase price of $2.3 million. Simultaneous with the closing of the sale, the Company entered into a ten-year operating lease arrangement with base annual rent of approximately $0.1 million during the first year, followed by annual increases of 3% through the remainder of the lease period. The Company realized a gain on the sale of $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million was recognized at the time of the sale. The remaining $1.3 million was recognized ratably over the term of the lease at approximately $0.1 million per year, until the January 1, 2019 adoption of ASU 2016-02 as discussed in Note 1. This facility is included in the Company’s Distribution Segment. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Industry Segments | 17. Industry Segments The Company manages its business under two operating segments, Material Handling and Distribution, consistent with the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a specified mark-up. The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products and rotationally-molded plastic tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States and Canada. Markets served include industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, consumer, and others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors. The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of equipment, tools, and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive undervehicle repair and the manufacture of tire repair and retreading products. The product line includes categories such as tire valves and accessories, tire changing and balancing equipment, lifts and alignment equipment, service equipment and tools, and tire repair/retread supplies. The Distribution Segment also manufactures and sells certain traffic markings, including reflective highway marking tape. The Distribution Segment operates domestically through its sales offices and five regional distribution centers in the United States, and in certain foreign countries through export sales. In addition, the Distribution Segment operates directly in certain foreign markets, principally Central America, through foreign branch operations. Markets served include retail and truck tire dealers, commercial auto and truck fleets, auto dealers, general service and repair centers, tire retreaders, and government agencies. The acquisition of Tuffy, described in Note 3, is included in the Distribution Segment. Total sales from foreign business units were approximately $42.0 million, $50.6 million, and $53.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total export sales to countries outside the U.S. were approximately $23.6 million, $19.6 million, and $17.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively. Sales made to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 4.7% of total net sales in 2019, 4.1% in 2018 and 2.4% in 2017. There are no other individual foreign countries for which sales are material. Long-lived assets in foreign countries, primarily in Canada, consisted of property, plant and equipment, and were approximately $13.2 million at December 31, 2019 and $14.1 million at December 31, 2018. 2019 2018 2017 Net Sales Material Handling $ 356,407 $ 417,199 $ 391,313 Distribution 159,349 149,636 156,428 Inter-company sales (58 ) (100 ) (698 ) Total net sales $ 515,698 $ 566,735 $ 547,043 Operating income Material Handling $ 53,144 $ 57,948 $ 38,874 Distribution 10,076 7,441 9,073 Corporate (25,954 ) (59,062 ) (23,059 ) Total operating income 37,266 6,327 24,888 Interest expense, net (4,083 ) (4,938 ) (7,292 ) Loss on extinguishment of debt — — (1,888 ) Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 33,183 $ 1,389 $ 15,708 Total Assets Material Handling $ 193,751 $ 229,962 $ 257,863 Distribution 75,338 48,575 49,822 Corporate 84,050 70,108 48,257 Total assets $ 353,139 $ 348,645 $ 355,942 Capital Additions, Net Material Handling $ 8,835 $ 4,500 $ 5,165 Distribution 1,396 587 622 Corporate 63 36 27 Total capital additions, net $ 10,294 $ 5,123 $ 5,814 Depreciation and Amortization Material Handling $ 21,282 $ 24,159 $ 28,506 Distribution 1,501 1,169 1,174 Corporate 800 811 1,151 Total depreciation and amortization $ 23,583 $ 26,139 $ 30,831 |

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All subsidiaries that are not wholly owned and are not included in the consolidated operating results of the Company are immaterial investments which have been accounted for under the equity or cost method. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amount of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses recorded and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of certain subsidiaries in Brazil. As further discussed in Note 6, the results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. |

Translation of Foreign Currencies | Translation of Foreign Currencies All asset and liability accounts of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the accounting period and income statement items are translated monthly at an average currency exchange rate for the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement Fair value is the price to hypothetically sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly manner in the principal market for that asset or liability. Accounting standards prioritize the use of observable inputs in measuring fair value. The level of a fair value measurement is determined entirely by the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The three levels are (from highest to lowest): Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions. The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 13, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at $79.0 million and $76.8 million, respectively. The purchase price allocation associated with the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc., as described in Note 3, required fair value measurements using unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the income approach. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk primarily consist of trade accounts receivable. The concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is generally limited based on the Company’s diversified operations, with customers spread across many industries and countries. In 2019, there were no customers that accounted for more than ten percent of net sales. Outside of the United States, only customers located in Canada, which account for approximately 4.7% of net sales, are significant to the Company’s operations. In addition, management has established certain requirements that customers must meet before credit is extended. The financial condition of customers is continually monitored and collateral is usually not required. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. Additionally, the Company also reviews historical trends for collectability in determining an estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts. If economic circumstances change substantially, estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced by a material amount. Expense related to bad debts was approximately $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is recorded within selling expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deductions from the allowance for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, were approximately $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 40 percent of our inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued at the FIFO method of determining cost. Inventories at December 31 consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Finished and in-process products $ 32,537 $ 27,960 Raw materials and supplies 11,723 15,636 $ 44,260 $ 43,596 If the FIFO method of inventory cost valuation had been used exclusively by the Company, inventories would have been $4.4 million and $5.1 million higher than reported at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of sales decreased by $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as a result of the liquidation of LIFO inventories. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization on the basis of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings 20 to 40 years Machinery and Equipment 3 to 10 years Leasehold Improvements 5 to 10 years The Company’s property, plant and equipment by major asset class at December 31 consists of: December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Land $ 6,622 $ 7,017 Buildings and leasehold improvements 43,803 53,821 Machinery and equipment 252,384 253,785 302,809 314,623 Less allowances for depreciation and amortization (247,845 ) (249,163 ) $ 54,964 $ 65,460 |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of potential impairment related to assets to be held and used is based upon undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset and related asset group.

(3) Reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings due to the adoption of ASU 2018-02 during the first quarter of 2018. |
Stock Based Compensation | Stock Based Compensation The Company has stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock-based compensation to employees and directors. Shares issued for option exercises, restricted stock units and performance units may be either from authorized, but unissued shares or treasury shares. For equity-classified awards, the fair value is determined on the date of the grant and not remeasured. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance units are determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (Level 1 measurement). The fair value of options are determined using a binomial lattice option pricing model as further described in Note 10, which uses market-based inputs (Level 2 measurement). Expense for all stock-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally equivalent to the vesting term. Forfeitures result in reversal of previously recognized expenses for unvested shares and are recognized in the period in which the forfeiture occurs. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be received or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates the recovery of its deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely heavily on estimates. In the ordinary course of business there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying certain income tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluations of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the reporting date to be recognized. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash flows used in investing activities excluded $0.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.6 million of accrued, but unpaid, capital expenditures in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, the Company has not recorded any deferred revenue, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90 day time frame mentioned above. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Thus, the Company estimates the expected returns each period based on an analysis of historical experience. For certain businesses where physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, the Company records an estimated right to return asset from such recovery, based on the approximate cost of the product. |
Shipping and Handling | Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for shipments to customers when control over products has transferred to the customer. Costs for shipments to customers are classified as selling expenses for the Company’s manufacturing businesses and as cost of sales for the Company’s distribution business in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company incurred costs for shipments to customers of approximately $8.4 million, $9.7 million and $8.2 million in selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $5.9 million, $5.7 million, and $6.0 million in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Leases | The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to nine years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the statement of financial position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
