What makes surplus boxes worth something
Reusable boxes are worth more than boxes that can only be recycled. The main factors are:
- Condition — dry, clean, square boxes with full flaps are the most reusable.
- Size — common footprints such as 48 × 40 are easier to place.
- Quantity and frequency — a steady supply is easier to collect than an occasional few.
- Location and loading — freight distance and whether boxes are flat, banded and on pallets.
