What do we need for a pickup?

Location, pictures of the boxes, and the amount of boxes available.

Are the boxes worth anything?

Reusable boxes may have value, while recycling-only material may involve freight or handling costs. Any payment or pickup charge depends on condition, quantity, location, access, and the current market.

What's the minimum quantity?

There is no universal minimum. Feasibility depends on box type, quantity, location, loading access, freight distance, and whether the material is reusable or recycling-only.

How fast is pickup scheduled?

Timing depends on the location, load details, equipment, receiving outlet, and carrier availability. The schedule is confirmed only after the request has been reviewed.
