Charlotte region, NC and SC I-85 I-77 I-40
Send the count, the pallet footprint and the wall count. That is enough to start. The request takes sellers of empties and buyers of boxes on the same form, in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Count, footprint and wall count are enough to start.
No prices, minimums or times are stated here.
We do not state times or prices on this page, because they depend on the stack.

Write to info@charlottegaylordco.com with the same details. The form is faster, because it checks the fields and keeps everything on one request. There is no phone line or street address; we work through the form and email.
If you have empties, the sell hub lists what to describe, and the grading guide names the grades. If you need boxes, the boxes hub lists the types and the size board lists the sizes. The FAQ has the short answers.
What you type goes to our form service and is used to answer your request. The privacy page says what is stored and what is not.
Before you write, walk to the stack and look at three things. Read the maker's stamp on a few bottoms for the size and the wall count. Press a corner of the lowest box to see whether it is dry and square. Count the pallets and multiply by the layers. These take a few minutes and they are the details a buyer asks for first. If you have photos, keep them for the reply, since the form takes text.
The address on this page, info@charlottegaylordco.com, is the fallback when the form is not available, such as in a browser with scripts turned off. We do not publish a phone line or a street address, because the work is done by reading a request, not by taking a call at a counter. Writing it down also leaves you with a record of what you sent, which helps when a stack is described across several messages.
Many plants are both. A dock that clears single trip empties on Monday may need replacement boxes on Thursday, and the form takes both in one message. Say which side comes first and which can wait, and we will read the two as one conversation instead of two.
The request form takes a name, an email, a phone number if you want to give one, a company, the kind of request, the number of boxes, the city, the state and the ZIP, and a free text box. The footprint, wall count and bottom go in the text box, since the form does not carry separate fields for them. Product questions that matter for a gaylord are how many walls you need or have, whether you want rectangular or octagonal, what bottom style, what the boxes carried and whether you need lids, and those are the five things to put in the text box.
Requests that begin on the sell pages arrive as sell requests, those that begin on the recycling and pickup pages arrive as recycling requests, and those on the box and size pages arrive as buy requests. The home page and this page arrive as buy requests too. If yours is different, say so in the text, because the reply reads the text first.
Email goes to info@charlottegaylordco.com. Use email if you want to attach a photograph of the stack or a copy of the stamp. Please keep photographs to the boxes themselves and not people or license plates.
A good request names the footprint, the wall count, the bottom, the count and the ZIP, and it says what the boxes held. It says whether it is empties out or boxes in. It mentions anything unusual: liners, printing, odor, a damp corner, a pallet that is smaller than the box. Six facts in a few lines is nearly always enough, and it spares both sides a round of questions.
The count, the footprint and the wall count. Add the ZIP and the condition if you can.
No. We work through the form and info@charlottegaylordco.com.
We do not state times here. We read each request and come back with what fits.
