Identify the packaging stream
Start with the category that best matches the material you need to clear, whether it is broken pallets, damaged totes, used drums, or mixed corrugated packaging.
- Match material to the right recovery path
- Separate reusable from end-of-life streams
- Capture quantity and site details early
Submit the recovery request
Share location, volume, material condition, and timing so available recovery paths can be evaluated.
- Site address and contact
- Material photos and notes
- Requested timing
Review the response
Availability and next steps depend on the submitted material, condition, quantity, location, and local demand.
- Request-specific next steps
- Condition and logistics context
- No route or rebate promised in advance

Packaging categories businesses recycle through Repackify
These category pages explain common industrial packaging recovery streams, what materials are typically accepted, and how to begin a pickup or recycling workflow.
All main recovery categories
Use the full category list when you need to clear mixed packaging waste, separate higher-value materials, or understand how a specific industrial packaging stream is typically handled.
Pallets
Recycle broken or low-grade wood pallets through a recovery process that can include reuse, repair stock, lumber recovery, mulch, or other downstream uses.
Gaylord Boxes
Recycle used or downgraded gaylord boxes by routing corrugated material into fiber recovery instead of disposal-only handling.
IBC Totes
Recycle end-of-life IBC totes by separating cages, bottles, valves, and other components into the correct recovery stream.
Metal Drums
Recycle steel drums through recovery paths that may include reconditioning, scrap processing, and compliance-focused handling.
Plastic Drums
Recycle plastic drums when reusable HDPE containers are damaged, downgraded, or no longer practical to resell.
Wood Crates
Recycle wood crates through material recovery programs that divert structural wood packaging away from landfill disposal.
Plastic Pallets
Recycle broken plastic pallets by routing usable polymer into regrind and other secondary manufacturing streams.
Wooden Spools
Recycle wooden spools through reuse or wood recovery channels when cable or material-handling programs phase them out.
Plastic Crates
Recycle plastic crates when closed-loop transport packaging reaches end of life or suffers too much damage for continued use.
Show 11 more categories
Bulk Bags
Recycle used bulk bags and FIBCs through programs that separate reusable material from fiber or plastic recovery needs.
Cardboard Bales
Move cardboard bales directly into fiber recovery channels with a clearer view into commodity value and pickup logistics.
Shipping Boxes
Recycle used shipping boxes through corrugated recovery programs when reuse value has been exhausted.
Lumber
Recover reclaimed lumber from industrial packaging streams instead of blending reusable wood into mixed waste disposal.
Equipment
Route obsolete packaging equipment into secondary use or responsible end-of-life handling instead of leaving idle assets on site.
Moving Boxes
Recycle moving boxes collected from office moves, relocations, or reuse programs when box quality no longer supports another cycle.
Wire Baskets
Recycle wire baskets through steel recovery when frames are bent, cut, or too damaged to keep in a returnable rotation.
Metal Cages
Recycle end-of-life metal cages through scrap channels that handle mixed steel packaging and separate the recoverable material.
Stretch Wrap
Recycle stretch wrap and pallet film through LDPE recovery programs that take clean film off your dock instead of into the compactor.
Strapping
Recycle used strapping by routing steel and polyester bands into the right recovery stream rather than mixed waste.
Pallet Risers
Recycle pallet risers and collars when hinges, boards, or panels have failed and the unit can no longer be repaired for reuse.
What packaging materials can I recycle through Repackify?
Businesses can request recycling workflows for pallets, gaylord boxes, IBC totes, steel drums, plastic drums, bulk bags, corrugated material, plastic crates, reclaimed lumber, and other industrial packaging categories depending on the material stream and site details.
How is recycling different from selling used packaging?
Selling is usually the right path when packaging is still reusable and attractive to secondary buyers. Recycling is usually the better fit when materials are damaged, downgraded, mixed, or no longer practical to hold for resale but still contain recovery value.
Can I still get paid when I recycle pallets, totes, or drums?
Material may have recovery value depending on quantity, condition, location, and local demand. No pickup or rebate is promised before the request is evaluated.
Why use Repackify instead of a basic waste hauler?
The Repackify request captures packaging-specific condition, quantity, and location details that help distinguish reusable inventory from material needing another recovery path.
Is this useful for recurring warehouse cleanouts or multi-site programs?
Submit each site and material stream with its current quantity, condition, address, and timing. Availability is evaluated per request.
