Cardboard gaylords are large corrugated bulk containers used to store, ship, or collect loose materials in warehouses, manufacturing plants, recycling operations, and distribution centers. They often sit on pallets and can hold parts, packaging scrap, plastic film, returns, or post-industrial cardboard. When emptied and kept in usable or recyclable condition, they may qualify for recycling pickup or resale.
