Used gaylord boxes, Grades 1A – 5A, Octabins & round bins, Freight through partners, OCC recycling, Bulk bags

Four things, through partner suppliers

One request, routed to a supplier who can help.

Some suppliers only sell and some recyclers only take. We pass your request to partner suppliers who handle buying, selling, freight or recycling, so you do not have to find them one by one.

Why reuse

A box that is reused is a box that did not have to be made. That is the whole environmental argument.

Recycling a corrugated box is good. Not needing to recycle it yet is better: reuse skips the pulping, the re-forming and the drying. How much that matters in your case depends on the box and how it moves.

What partner suppliers handle

Boxes, bins, bags and the accessories that go with them.

Stock and availability depend on the partner supplier. If what you need is not listed, describe it in your request.

How a request moves

Three steps between your request and a supplier.

ReGaylord Boxes does not hold stock. This is the whole process, and it is deliberately short.

  1. 01

    You send a request

    Tell us what you want to buy or sell: sizes, counts, condition, and your location. The quote form is free and carries no obligation.

  2. 02

    It goes to a partner supplier

    Your request is passed to a partner supplier in our network through the 1DB lead platform.

  3. 03

    The supplier follows up

    The supplier contacts you with a quote or offer. Suppliers set their own prices and terms, so compare and ask questions before you agree.

Why used

A corrugated box does not wear out. It gets thrown out, often while it still has work left in it.

Containerboard loses strength through moisture, crushing and repeated folding, not through time. A dry gaylord stored under a roof can be a good candidate for another trip. Sorting, storing and hauling used boxes is unglamorous work, which is why partner suppliers exist.

Reuse comes before recycling

Reusing a box avoids making a new one. Recycling the same box into board is still worthwhile, but it comes after reuse.

Fibre gets shorter every time it is pulped

Corrugated fibre can be recycled several times before it is too short to bond. Each reuse delays the next pulping.

Transport matters

Ask suppliers whether pickup or delivery can be combined with trips they already make; that can affect both cost and footprint.

Recycle what cannot be reused

Corrugated is widely recycled where facilities accept it. A partner supplier can advise on baled OCC.

Straight answers

Five common questions.

Dozens more are answered on the FAQ page.

What exactly is a gaylord box?
A gaylord is a large corrugated bulk container sized to sit on a pallet, usually 48 by 40 inches at the base, built in 3, 4 or 5 wall board. Load ratings vary by construction, so confirm the rating with the supplier. The name comes from the Gaylord Container Company; the term is now generic across North American industry.
Are used gaylord boxes strong enough?
Often, when they are in good condition. Corrugated loses stiffness mainly through moisture, crushing and re-folding rather than through age, so a dry, square box with sound walls can have plenty of life left. Ask each supplier how they grade and what a given grade means.
Is ReGaylord Boxes a supplier?
No. ReGaylord Boxes is a referral service. We do not own stock, trucks or yards. You send a request, and we pass it to a partner supplier in our network who follows up with you directly.
Can I sell the empty boxes piling up in my warehouse?
Possibly. If they are dry, empty and reusable, a partner supplier may be interested. Send counts and sizes through the quote form; a partner supplier may make an offer, and pickup may be available through them.
Where do requests come from?
Requests come from across the United States. Whether a partner supplier can serve your location, and how delivery or pickup works, depends on the supplier.
