Discover the Versatile Uses of Bulk Gaylord Boxes for Industrial & Recycling Applications

If you work in manufacturing, warehousing, recycling, or logistics, you’ve likely come across Gaylord boxes — also known as bulk boxes or pallet boxes. These extra-large, corrugated containers are a favorite across industries thanks to their strength, capacity, and reusability.

At ALA Recycling, we specialize in buying and selling used Gaylord boxes, helping businesses reduce costs while improving their shipping, storage, and recycling operations.


What Are Gaylord Boxes?

A Gaylord box is a heavy-duty, pallet-sized box typically made from triple-wall or double-wall corrugated cardboard. They’re built to handle bulk materials and heavy loads, making them a top choice for commercial and industrial use.

Unlike standard shipping cartons, Gaylord boxes can be reused multiple times, making them a smart and sustainable investment.


Common Uses for Gaylord Boxes

Gaylord boxes are incredibly versatile and used in many industries. Here are some of the most popular applications:

  • ♻️ Recycled or Waste Materials: Perfect for collecting and storing materials headed for recycling.

  • 🧩 Loose Parts or Products: Ideal for organizing bulk hardware, components, or manufactured goods.

  • 🛠 Waste Plastic & Scrap Metal: Durable enough to hold heavy, uneven materials with ease.

  • 💻 Electronic Scrap: A safe, stackable solution for e-waste collection and transport.

  • 📚 Books & Paper Waste: Common in libraries, warehouses, and recycling centers.

  • 👚 Used Clothing & Textiles: Widely used by secondhand clothing distributors and donation centers.

  • 🚢 Overseas Shipping: Strong enough for long-haul transport and easy to stack on pallets.

Their durability, reusability, and space-saving design make Gaylord boxes a valuable asset for high-volume operations.
