We Buy Your Boxes — Fairly, Quickly, And With A Truck.
If your warehouse keeps accumulating gaylords faster than you can use them, send us a photo and a count. We'll quote in a business day, schedule pickup in five, and hand you a check the same week.
The four steps.
A few phone snaps and a rough estimate. That's enough to start a quote.
Our team assesses likely grade mix (A/B/C) and replies with a per-box rate or a flat truckload offer.
Most pickups within IL/WI/IA/IN/MI happen in 5 business days. Dock or yard.
Check or ACH on pickup. No 60-day net terms, no broker games.
The boxes we buy.
- Single-, double-, or triple-wall heavy-duty gaylords
- Rectangular and octagonal builds
- Standard sizes (40×48×36, 48×48×48, 48Ø) — and odd ones
- Minimum 1 full pallet — small lots welcome too
- Stored indoors preferred, but outdoor lots are fine if dry
- Liners and lids included (we'll grade those too)
What we don't buy.
Contaminated boxes (chemicals, food residue, biohazard), soaked or moldy boxes, and shredded / baled cardboard that's past structural reuse. For those we can still arrange recycling — see our recycling page.

Per-box pickup rates inside our five-state routed footprint. Outside the footprint, freight is netted against the buy price.
How sellers get paid.
The default. The driver brings a printed check or initiates ACH on pickup. Funds clear in 1–2 business days.
For sellers with banking details on file. Wire-equivalent transfer initiated within 24 hours of pickup confirmation.
For volume sellers (200+ boxes/month), we offer net-15 invoicing as an alternative to per-pickup payment. Easier for accounting.
