Used Cardboard Boxes Inc.

Program Information

UsedCardboardBoxes was founded in 2006 and is the largest broker of USED gaylord totes, produce bins and shipping boxes in North America.\r\n\r\nWe BUY used gaylords, produce totes, shipping boxes & other commodities, for more than recycling rates. The items most likely to be returned, reused or resold are the gaylord totes, produce bins, shipping boxes, pallets, supersaks, barrels & drums our clients receive/unpack from vendors (often carrying bulk food/ingredients, plastic bottles/caps and other high volume items). UCB can pay more than any recycler, because we don't recycle or export these items. For companies needing additional labor to maximize value, UCB can provide trained staff to sort materials, onsite.\r\n\r\nWe RETURN, REUSE or RESELL\r\n\r\nthem as is, right here in the US.\r\n\r\nThey mainly go to major retailers for distribution and reverse logistics. Many of the used shipping boxes are made into eco-friendly moving kits, sold online and delivered to any residential address in 1-2 business days with free shipping. Most boxes are sold via tractor trailer, to large retailers as a low-cost way to distribute products out to stores. As a closed-loop sustainability program, totes, barrels, drums and boxes can be sorted, inspected and returned back to the original vendor that purchased them (much like pallet programs) at significant savings.\r\n\r\nUCB's MISSION?\r\nCreating profit by reducing waste\u2026 with integrity and transparency.\r\n\r\nUCB's VISION?\r\nTo create $1,000,000,000 ($1B) in net savings for our client base, by reducing waste (cost) and increasing recycling and reuse (revenue).\r\n\r\nUCB's WHAT?\r\nUsedCardboardBoxes and UCBZeroWaste (UCB) design, implement and manage large-scale waste reduction programs that help companies reduce waste (cost) and increase recycling & reuse (revenue). We help companies get to Zero Waste to Landfill at no out-of-pocket cost.
