Buy. Sell. Recycle. Haul.
Most suppliers stop at the sale. We handle a box across its entire life — sourcing, delivery, buy-back, recycling and the freight in between.
Which service do you need?
Pick one in the form, or describe it — we'll route you to the right crew.
EcoBoxes Cali runs five connected services around one asset — the bulk box. We buy you boxes (used or new), buy your surplus back, recycle what is worn out to zero landfill, haul it all on our own fleet, and build custom closed-loop programs around your dock. One email to hello@ecoboxescali.com reaches the whole loop.

Every service connects to the next, so nothing you buy from us ever has to be thrown away.

Which service, and what it does
Same team, same trucks, one inbox — but each service solves a different problem. Here is the quick comparison before you dig into any single page.
| Service | Best for | What you send us | What you get back |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy | Shippers who need boxes | Size, quantity, delivery zip | Landed quote in ~1 business day, delivered pallets |
| Sell | Anyone with surplus empties | Sizes, wall type, condition, zip | A buy price and a scheduled pickup — you get paid |
| Recycling | Docks drowning in OCC | Volume, material, on-site or haul-off | Baling, OCC recovery, documented diversion trail |
| Transport | Loads that need to move | Origin, destination, load type | Van, flatbed or backhaul-matched freight |
| Custom | High-volume, recurring flows | Your operation and pain points | Standing supply, return loops, reverse logistics |
Not sure where you fit? Describe the problem in the form above and we will route you to the right crew — most customers end up using two or three of these together.
Five services, one circular system
Ordinary box suppliers sell you a box and disappear. We designed our services so the end of one is the start of another — which is why nothing you buy from us has to die in a dumpster.
Start on the buy side: you need bulk boxes, so we match your spec to reclaimed Grade A–D Gaylords or first-run new stock and deliver. You pack them, ship your product, and the boxes pile up empty behind the dock.
That is where most supply chains leak money — paying a hauler to landfill perfectly reusable corrugated. Instead, our sell service buys those empties back. The reusable ones go straight to the next shipper; whatever is too worn flows into recycling and baling, so the fiber re-enters the mill stream with a documented paper trail rather than a tipping fee.
Tying it together is our own freight fleet. The truck that drops your next order can grab your surplus on the way out — backhaul matching that cuts empty miles, carbon and cost on both legs. Stack all of it into a repeatable, dock-specific program and you have custom solutions.
Find yourself on this list
Every dock is different. These are the operators who get the most out of each service — odds are you see your own situation in at least one.
Buy Boxes
For 3PLs, recyclers, ag packers, manufacturers and movers who burn through bulk boxes and are tired of spot-market scrambles and inconsistent grades.
Sell Your Boxes
For distribution centers, importers and plants where empty Gaylords and overstock pile up faster than you can deal with them — and disposal is a standing cost.
Recycling & Baling
For high-volume shippers, retailers and warehouses generating tons of OCC who need certified diversion and a clean audit trail, not a landfill invoice.
Freight & Transport
For anyone with a full or partial load to move regionally or nationwide who wants backhaul-matched pricing instead of one-way carrier markups.
Custom Solutions
For operations big enough that boxes are a line item on the P&L — standing supply, closed-loop returns and reverse logistics built to your cadence.
Not sure yet?
For everyone else. Tell us the problem — too many boxes, too few, or too much waste — and we will point you at the right one (or the right combination).
Combine services and the numbers change
The real savings show up when you stop treating boxes as five separate transactions. Run two or more services as one program and the economics compound.
- Buy + Sell A closed loop: order your next batch and sell back last week's empties on the same visit. Your inbound supply and outbound surplus net against each other.
- Sell + Recycle One pickup clears the whole dock — reusable boxes earn a buy price, worn ones get baled and diverted, and you never call a separate waste hauler.
- Buy + Transport Delivery and backhaul on one lane. The truck arrives full and leaves full, so you split the freight instead of paying two one-way rates.
- All five = Custom Standing supply, scheduled buy-backs, baling and reverse logistics wrapped into a single managed program with locked pricing and one point of contact.
Onboarding takes an email, not an account
No portal to set up, no minimum contract to get a number. Here is exactly how a new customer goes from first email to a running service.
Email the details
Send what you need — boxes to buy, surplus to sell, or waste to divert — along with sizes, quantities and your zip. A couple of phone photos of the load help more than anything.
Get scoped and quoted
We route you to the right service, check live inventory and lane costs, and send real numbers — landed buy pricing, a sell offer, or a diversion plan, usually within one business day.
Schedule the first move
Approve it and we book a delivery, pickup or haul that fits your dock hours and receiving windows. Our own fleet handles the freight either direction.
Set the cadence
Recurring need? We roll it into a standing supply, a scheduled buy-back, or a full custom loop — so the boxes keep flowing without you re-quoting every time.
One hub, nationwide reach
We run from a hub at 2532 S 1560 W in Woods Cross, Utah — a crossroads of I-15 and I-80 that puts a huge share of the country inside an efficient lane.
Intermountain West
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona are our home turf — often same-week delivery and pickup straight off our own trucks.
The lower 48
Coast to coast via our freight network and backhaul matching. If it fits on a trailer, we can quote a lane to or from your dock.
Email-only, always
No phone tag. Everything runs through hello@ecoboxescali.com, so your specs, quotes and schedules live in writing where you can find them.
