Buy Used Boxes
Tell us what you need and we pass your request to partner suppliers in our network. Gaylord boxes for bulk storage, standard corrugated shipping boxes, specialty containers and pallets are all common requests. Used boxes often cost less than new, and choosing one avoids making a new box for the job. Stock, grades and prices vary by supplier, so each order is priced by quote.
Highlights
- Common sizes and types
- Grades vary by supplier
- Priced by quote
- Free quote request
Sell Your Boxes
Surplus boxes taking up space on your dock? Send us the details and we share them with partner suppliers who buy used packaging. A supplier in our network can make you an offer and arrange pickup if the load suits them. Box type, condition, quantity and location all affect whether there is a buyer and what they will offer.
Highlights
- Gaylords, corrugated, pallets
- Offers come from suppliers
- Pickup through suppliers
- No obligation
Box Recycling
For boxes that have reached the end of their reusable life, recycling lets the fiber go back into new paper products. Corrugated is widely recycled where local programs accept it. Send us a request and we pass it to partner suppliers who can collect or take in cardboard in your area, where available.
Highlights
- Corrugated and cardboard
- Reuse considered first
- Collection where available
- Priced by quote
Transportation
Pickup and delivery are available through partner suppliers. Depending on the load and the distance, that may mean a local truck, a less-than-truckload shipment or a full truckload. Tell us where the boxes are, where they need to go and when, and a supplier in our network can quote the freight along with the order.
Highlights
- Local and long-distance
- Pickup and delivery
- LTL and full truckload
- Priced by quote
Custom Solutions
Need a box that is not a standard size? Send us the dimensions, strength and quantity and we pass your request to partner suppliers who can source or produce custom-size boxes. Hard-to-find used sizes can be requested the same way.
Highlights
- Custom dimensions
- Hard-to-find sizes
- Wall type and strength
- Printing on request
Why Choose Box Recycle
Box Recycle is a referral service. We take your request and match it with partner suppliers, who quote and fulfil it.
One Simple Request
Describe what you want to buy, sell, recycle or move once. We take it from there and pass it to partner suppliers.
Partner Supplier Network
Your request goes to suppliers who deal in used boxes, gaylords, pallets and packaging, rather than to a single stockroom.
Free to Ask
Sending a quote request costs nothing and carries no obligation. You decide whether to go ahead once you see a quote.
Suppliers Set the Terms
Partner suppliers quote, set prices and terms, and fulfil the order, so you deal directly with the business doing the work.
Plain Grade Descriptions
Our guides explain common used box grades in plain language, so you can ask a supplier the right questions.
Pickup and Delivery Options
Pickup and delivery are available through partner suppliers, from local trucks to freight shipments, depending on the area.
Reuse Before Recycling
A sound box can do another job. When it cannot, recycling lets the fiber go back into new paper products.
Custom Sizes
Standard sizes do not fit everything. Custom-size sourcing is available through partner suppliers.

Often, yes. Corrugated is widely recycled where local programs accept it, and collection is available through partner suppliers in some areas. Wet, soiled or coated boxes may not be accepted.
