Sell Used Gaylord Boxes

Sell Used Gaylord Boxes — Top Dollar Paid

If you're a warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturer generating used Gaylord boxes, you're sitting on cash. Bulk Box Recycling pays top rebates for full-truckload quantities of single-trip and gently-used Gaylords — and we cover the freight.

Selling used boxes to us beats baling cardboard or paying for disposal. Resaleable Gaylords have downstream demand, and we pass that value back to you in the form of higher rebates and faster pickup scheduling.

Full Truckload Pickup

We buy by the load. Free pickup anywhere in the continental U.S.

Fast Payment

Payment in 7–14 days after pickup, in full.

Drop Trailers Available

Generate boxes constantly? Park a trailer at your dock.

All Grades Considered

Single-trip, multi-trip, and used — we'll grade and quote.

Why sell your Gaylord boxes to us

Turn a disposal cost into a revenue stream. We make the process simple.

  • Earn cash for boxes you'd otherwise pay to dispose of
  • Free up dock and floor space immediately
  • Hit corporate sustainability and ESG targets
  • One point of contact — no marketplaces, no auctions
  • Higher rebates than scrap cardboard buyers

What we buy

We purchase a wide variety of bulk boxes including standard 48" x 40" Gaylords, 2-wall, 3-wall, 4-wall, 5-wall, octagonal, and custom-size bulk boxes. We also buy combo bins, sleeve packs, FIBCs / supersacks, and pallets when included on the load.

Single-trip 4-wall and 5-wall boxes in clean, dry condition are our highest-paying grade. Multi-trip and used boxes still earn rebates — just at lower rates. Contaminated or damaged boxes can be recycled instead.

How the process works

Send us a photo of your stack along with a count, box dimensions, and the ZIP code where pickup will happen. We respond with a written quote — typically the same day. If you accept, we dispatch a truck within 3 to 7 business days.

On pickup day, our driver loads the boxes (or your team does, your call). We grade the load and issue payment within 7 to 14 days. No surprises, no chargebacks for boxes that meet the quoted grade.
