Send a request
Whether you are buying, selling or just asking a question, this form is the way in. Tell us what you are after.
The premise
An empty box is not always rubbish.
The packaging industry is very good at making containers and much less good at retrieving them. A gaylord box is manufactured, filled, shipped, emptied and, in many cases, flattened for recycling soon after. A box in good condition is, at that moment, structurally close to a new one.
Reusing a box avoids making a new one. Corrugated is also widely recycled where facilities accept it, but reuse generally comes first. The difficulty is practical: someone has to sort, store and move used boxes, and buyers and sellers rarely know each other.
That is the gap ReGaylord Boxes fills. We do not hold inventory. We take your request, describe it clearly to a partner supplier in our network, and the supplier follows up. Sometimes used stock is the wrong answer; if a specification needs new board, say so and a supplier may be able to quote that instead.
How quotes work
Three steps, no middle layer of promises.
The process is short on purpose. Here is exactly what happens to your request.
- 01
You send a request
Use the quote form to describe what you want to buy or sell: box sizes, wall count, rough quantities, condition and where you are. Photos help when you are selling.
- 02
It goes to a partner supplier
The request is sent to the 1DB lead platform and on to a partner supplier in our network that handles that kind of request.
- 03
The supplier follows up
The supplier contacts you directly. They set the price, the terms and any pickup or delivery arrangements, so ask questions and compare before you agree.
Prices are by quote. What moves a quote is usually the grade, the size, the quantity, the distance and the time of year. We do not publish prices because we do not set them.
What grades mean
A common way to describe condition.
Grades 1A to 5A are widely used to describe used boxes. They are not a fixed standard, so ask each supplier how they grade.
| Grade | Typical description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Near-new, very light wear | Ask what trips it has made |
| 2A | Clean, square, light handling marks | Suits many repeat uses |
| 3A | Sound walls, visible wear or minor patching | Often fine for dry, durable goods |
| 4A | Heavier wear, tape or staple repairs | Check the walls before heavy loads |
| 5A | Well-worn, limited remaining use | Often a candidate for recycling |
What the site does not do
Plain limits, stated up front.
A referral service is a narrow thing. Knowing what it is not will save you time.
It does not own stock
ReGaylord Boxes holds no inventory. What is available depends on partner suppliers.
It does not own trucks or yards
There is no fleet and no storage site on our side. Pickup and delivery are arranged with the supplier, where they are available.
It does not set prices or make payments
Suppliers set prices and terms. Any offer, payment or contract is between you and the supplier.
It does not offer specialised compliance
For food contact, regulated or hazardous goods, check with your own quality team and current regulations before ordering or selling.
Who it is for
Buyers, sellers and anyone with boxes to move.
The same form serves each of these. Say which one you are in the request.
- Buyers
- Plants, packers and warehouses that want used gaylords, octabins or corrugated cartons instead of new. Describe the size, wall count and condition you need.
- Sellers
- Anyone with a stack of empty, dry, reusable boxes. Send counts and photos; a partner supplier may make an offer.
- Cleanouts
- Warehouses with a large quantity of packaging to clear. A partner supplier may be able to quote the pickup.
- Freight
- Pickup and delivery are available through partner suppliers. Say where the boxes are and where they need to go.
- Recycling
- Boxes that are finished can go to recycling where facilities accept corrugated. Partner suppliers can advise.
- Questions
- Not sure which size or grade fits? Ask in the request, or read the size chart and guides first.

Questions we get asked
Things people want to know about the service itself.
- 01
Are you a recycler or a supplier?
Neither. ReGaylord Boxes is a referral service. Partner suppliers buy, sell, haul and recycle; we pass your request to them.
- 02
Do you own trucks?
No. Freight is arranged with the partner supplier, where it is available.
- 03
How do I reach you?
Through the quote form. It is the one route in, for buyers, sellers and general questions.
- 04
Can I visit?
There is nothing to visit on our side, because we hold no stock or yards. Ask the partner supplier about their own arrangements.
- 05
Who sets the price?
The partner supplier, by quote. Grade, size, quantity, distance and season all play a part.
- 06
Does it cost anything to ask?
No. A quote request is free and carries no obligation.
