Frequently Asked Questions

What are cardboard gaylords?

Cardboard gaylords are large, heavy-duty corrugated boxes commonly used to hold bulk products, scrap materials, plastic film, parts, textiles, or loose packaging. They are often mounted on pallets for forklift handling in warehouses and distribution facilities. Because they contain a significant amount of recyclable cardboard, clean and reusable gaylord boxes can often be recovered, recycled, or rebated depending on condition and volume.
