Gaylord Boxes
Heavy-duty bulk containers built for large-scale shipping, warehousing, and storage. Commonly double-wall or triple-wall, with full or half flaps, in sizes that fit standard pallets. Used and new options depend on the partner supplier.
Corrugated Boxes
Standard shipping boxes in common sizes, from small parcel cartons to large freight boxes. Partner suppliers usually offer them by grade, so you can match condition to the job.
Specialty Boxes
Custom-sized, insulated, heavy-duty, and weather-resistant boxes for unusual requirements, including temperature-sensitive goods, fragile items, and oversized products.
Pallets
Used wooden and plastic pallets in common footprints, including the GMA 48x40 and Euro sizes. Tell us the size and condition you need and a partner supplier can quote it.
Accessories
The supplies that go with your boxes: tape, strapping, stretch wrap, corner protectors, dividers, edge boards, and more. Add them to your quote request.
Every Stage of a Box's Life
From sourcing to recycling, send your request here and we match it with partner suppliers who do the work.
Buy Used Boxes
Request a quote for pre-owned boxes, which often cost less than new. Reusing a box avoids making a new one, and partner suppliers offer a range of grades depending on what they have.
Sell Your BoxesSell Your Boxes
Surplus boxes may be worth selling rather than throwing away. Tell us what you have, from a few hundred corrugated boxes to truckloads of gaylords, and a partner supplier can make an offer.
Recycling ProgramRecycling Program
Boxes too worn to reuse can still be recycled. Corrugated is widely recycled where local programs accept it, and we can pass your request to a partner supplier who collects it.
TransportationTransportation
Pickup and delivery are available through partner suppliers. Full-truckload and LTL options depend on the supplier, your location, and the size of the load.
Custom SolutionsCustom Solutions
Need something specific? Send us the dimensions and strength you need and we will look for a partner supplier who can source a custom size or a close match.

Reuse First
Reusing a box avoids making a new one. When a box is too worn to reuse, recycling is the next step.
Priced by Quote
Used boxes are often less expensive than new. A partner supplier quotes your exact type, grade, quantity, and location.
Clear Grades
Used boxes are usually sold by grade. Grades vary by partner supplier, so ask what yours means before you commit.
One Request
Fill in one form instead of calling around. We pass it to a partner supplier, who follows up with you.
Small or Large
Send a request of any size, from one pallet to repeat truckloads. Whether a supplier can take it depends on quantity and location.
One Place to Start
Buying, selling, recycling, pickup, and delivery all start with the same free, no-obligation quote request.
Industries We Serve
From factory floors to fulfillment centers, used boxes and pallets suit a lot of everyday shipping and storage. Here is where they are commonly used, and where to be careful.
Manufacturing
Bulk containers, gaylords, and corrugated boxes for parts storage, work-in-progress, and finished goods shipping.
Warehousing & Distribution
Pallets, gaylords for bulk storage, and corrugated boxes for order fulfillment and cross-docking.
Retail & E-commerce
Shipping boxes in common sizes for customer orders. Top-grade used boxes are often clean enough for customer-facing shipments.
Food & Beverage
Outer shipping cartons and bulk containers for packaged goods. Anything in direct contact with food calls for new packaging made for that use.
Automotive
Heavy-duty triple-wall gaylords and custom containers for heavy auto parts, components, and assemblies.
Agriculture
Boxes and bins for packing and moving agricultural supplies and goods. Mention peak-season needs in your request.
Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals
Outer cartons and storage boxes for general supplies and equipment. Sterile or regulated products need new packaging that meets your own handling requirements.
Moving & Relocation
Moving boxes for residential and commercial relocations, including wardrobe boxes and dish packs where a partner supplier has them.

Get a Quote
The partner supplier follows up with a quote. Pricing depends on quantity, box type, grade, and logistics, and it is set by the supplier.
Check the Details
Ask how the supplier defines its grades, what its terms are, and whether you can see samples. Nothing moves forward until you agree.
Delivery or Pickup
The partner supplier arranges delivery to your dock or pickup from your facility. Full truckload, LTL, and local options vary by supplier.

Requests From Across the US, Local Suppliers
Box Recycle takes quote requests from across the US. Used boxes are bulky, so freight is a big part of the cost, and a supplier closer to you usually makes more sense than one far away.
We match your request with partner suppliers in our network. Availability depends on partner suppliers in your area, so send your location with your request and a supplier can tell you what is possible.

Freight Options Vary by Supplier
Northeast
Requests are welcome from New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Dense industrial areas tend to have plenty of used packaging moving through them.
Mid-Atlantic & Southeast
Send a request from Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, or Florida, and include how much you need so a partner supplier can judge the freight.
Midwest & Beyond
We also take requests from Ohio to California. For longer distances, a full truckload is often the most practical way to move used packaging.

Home & Services FAQ
How fast can I get used boxes or gaylords delivered?
Timing is set by the partner supplier and depends on what is available near you. Include your deadline in your request so the supplier can tell you what is realistic.
Can I sell my surplus boxes and pallets?
Yes, you can send a request. Box Recycle passes it to a partner supplier, who can make an offer on used corrugated boxes, gaylords, or pallets and arrange pickup.
What grades of used boxes are available?
Used boxes are commonly described as Grade A, B, or C. Grade A is near-new, Grade B has light wear, and Grade C suits internal or non-presentational use. Exact definitions vary by partner supplier.
Can I set up recurring packaging deliveries?
Ask the partner supplier who quotes you. Some may be able to set up repeat orders, depending on what you need and where you are.
Are used boxes safe for food or pharmaceuticals?
They can work as outer cartons for sealed products. For direct contact, use new packaging made for that purpose, because the past contents of a used box may be unknown. Check current regulations for your product.
