Sorting
Boxes are sorted by condition and type
Processing

New Life
Boxes return to circulation or become new materials
Environmental Impact
By recycling gaylord boxes, we contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded. This reduces:
- Landfill waste from industrial packaging
- Demand for new raw materials
- Carbon emissions from manufacturing
- Environmental impact of logging for cardboard
Every Box Counts
Each recycled box represents resources saved and waste diverted from landfills.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of boxes do you accept for recycling?
We accept most gaylord boxes and bulk bins, including damaged units that are no longer fit for reuse.
Is pickup available for recycling loads?
Yes. We schedule pickups across the GTA for bulk quantities and coordinate timing that fits your operation.
Do you pay for boxes sent for recycling?
Usable boxes may qualify for purchase; end-of-life boxes are typically recycled without payment but with free pickup on volume.
Can you provide proof of recycling?
We can issue recycling or diversion documentation upon request for your sustainability reporting.
Do boxes need to be palletized for pickup?
Palletizing speeds loading, but we can discuss other handling options if pallets are not available.
How quickly can recycling pickups be scheduled?
Most pickups are set within 1-3 business days depending on volume and location.
Can you recycle wet or contaminated boxes?
Mild moisture is acceptable; heavily contaminated or hazardous boxes must be evaluated and may be excluded.
Do you separate boxes by grade before recycling?
Yes. We sort boxes to recover any that can be reused or repaired before sending the remainder to recycling.
Is there a minimum quantity for recycling service?
We prefer at least one pallet load, but we will advise on options for smaller quantities.
Can you help with ongoing recycling programs?
Absolutely. We can set recurring pickups and provide containers to keep your facility organized between hauls.
