If your business handles bulk recyclables, choosing the right storage container can directly impact your efficiency, costs, and environmental footprint. Two of the most common options are Gaylord boxes and plastic storage bins. While plastic bins are familiar to many, Gaylord boxes offer a smarter, more economical, and eco-friendly solution.
What Are Gaylord Boxes?
Gaylord boxes, also known as bulk boxes or pallet boxes, are large, heavy-duty corrugated cardboard containers designed to hold and transport large quantities of materials. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness make them ideal for recycling centers, manufacturing facilities, and distribution warehouses.
Top 5 Reasons to Use Gaylord Boxes for Recycling Storage
-
Space-Saving & Easy to Store
Gaylord boxes are shipped folded flat and banded to pallets, making them easy to store when not in use. This is especially helpful in warehouses or facilities with limited space. -
Cost-Effective
Used Gaylord boxes are widely available and significantly more affordable than buying new plastic bins. They’re also easy to replace, helping you reduce operational costs over time. -
Lightweight & Eco-Friendly
Made from corrugated cardboard, Gaylord boxes are recyclable, biodegradable, and lightweight, reducing your carbon footprint and making them easier to handle. -
Customizable Sizes and Strengths
Gaylord boxes come in various sizes and wall thicknesses—up to 8-ply—allowing you to select the right option for your specific storage needs. -
Strong and Durable
Despite being made of cardboard, these boxes are designed to be extremely sturdy and long-lasting, capable of holding dense, heavy materials without collapsing.
