Gaylord boxes in Belmont: buy, sell, recycle

Gaston County town across the Catawba River from Charlotte's airport side.

Belmont at the dock

Belmont is the Gaston County town across the Catawba River from the airport side of Charlotte.

Textile docks ask for 2‑wall and 3‑wall boxes; chemical docks ask for liners and a clean history. Both clear empties.

What arrives in gaylords in Belmont

Belmont stacks come from textile and chemical-product docks. Textile boxes are light and dry. Chemical boxes may be lined, and the liner question comes up in nearly every conversation about them. If you can say what was in the box, write it, along with whether the liner is still inside.

The lanes on this page: textiles and chemical products.

The Belmont lanes, one by one

Belmont's two lines are textiles and chemical products. A textile dock sends light 2‑wall boxes, which the grade turns on dryness: damp board marks fiber and loses strength. A chemical-product dock sends boxes that may have held powders or pellets, so the questions are whether a liner was used, whether it stays, and whether the contents left any residue. Keep the two on separate lines of the request even when they come from one company, because their buyers differ.

Staging the Belmont stack

A Belmont dock splitting textile and chemical boxes should keep them on opposite sides of the aisle. Textile boxes should sit flat on pallets with a cover. Chemical octabins should stand with their liners folded and visible. A short tag on each pallet with the count and date helps whoever comes to check. Leave the dock door area clear, and note in the request whether trucks can reach it without turning on the street.

Where Belmont sits

Belmont is a Gaston County town near I-85, across the Catawba River from Charlotte. Belmont sits so close to the Charlotte airport side that a dock here can feel part of the city. Say where the dock door faces and whether trucks turn around on your lot, since that is what a driver will ask first. The county page is Gaston County, which the market data describes this way: Textile and thread county west of Charlotte across the Catawba River, with truck plants in Mount Holly and Gastonia.

A request from Belmont, line by line (an illustration)

A Belmont textile dock might write: twenty-six 2‑wall boxes, 40 x 30 x 30 in, dry, partial flap, the ZIP. A chemical-product dock down the road might write: fourteen octabins, 46 x 38 x 36 in, liners inside, one pallet of lids. If both come from one company, they are two lines with two docks, and the pallet of lids is a third item worth its own mention.

Mount Holly and Gastonia share Gaston County with Belmont, and Charlotte is across the river.

Questions from the dock

Can I send a small pile from Belmont?

Yes. This site does not state minimums, so a small pile is worth describing. Give the count, the footprint, the wall count and the condition, and add the liner note if it applies. The answer depends on what the boxes are, not on how many.

Request gaylords or a pickup

Count, footprint and wall count are enough to start.
