Surplus Packaging Liquidation
Don't Trash Your Inventory. Monetize It. We help manufacturers and distributors recover capital from obsolete, misprinted, and surplus packaging supplies.
Turn Obsolete Supplies into Revenue
Changes in branding, product specs, or forecasting often leave warehouses stuck with pallets of brand-new packaging that can no longer be used. Sending these unused materials to the baler or landfill isn't just wasteful—it destroys capital.
Waste Optima treats your surplus packaging as an asset, not waste. We connect you with a secondary market network of discount packaging buyers, re-packers, and liquidation channels. Whether you have truckloads of misprinted boxes or obsolete rigid containers, we provide a compliant, profitable exit strategy.
Packaging Categories We Liquidate
| Packaging Type | Details | Primary Outlet |
|---|---|---|
| Corrugated Boxes | Misprints, overruns, obsolete branded boxes | Box Reuse / Discount Supply |
| Rigid Containers | Unused bottles (glass/plastic), buckets, drums | Wholesale Liquidation |
| Closures & Caps | Obsolete caps, lids, pumps, triggers | Discount Packaging Market |
| Gaylords & Totes | Surplus octagon bins, IBC totes | Industrial Reuse |
Core Liquidation Programs
1. Obsolete Box & Corrugated Recovery
We purchase truckloads of new, unused corrugated boxes that are no longer needed due to SKU changes or misprints. By routing these to "box reuse" programs, you avoid the low value of baled recycling and recover a portion of your original spend.
Note: We can handle branded boxes in markets where non-competing reuse is approved.
2. Rigid Container & Closure Buyouts
Stuck with 50 pallets of unused glass bottles or plastic jars? We work with a network of fillers and discount packaging brokers who purchase surplus rigid packaging. This includes HDPE/PET bottles, glass jars, pails, and matching closures (caps/lids).
3. Surplus Dunnage & Supplies
We liquidate unused shipping supplies, including edge protectors, void fill, strapping, and surplus pallets. If it's new and palletized, we can likely find a home for it.

Brand Protection & De-Identification
We understand that your branded packaging is intellectual property.
Obscuration: For specific markets, we can arrange for logos to be blacked out or covered.
Non-Competing Channels: We route materials to secondary markets or export channels that do not compete with your primary retail shelf space.
Certified Destruction: If the packaging cannot be reused due to strict brand risks, we offer secure Certified Destruction services to ensure it is shredded and recycled, not resold.
Surplus Packaging FAQs
Do you buy small quantities?
Our liquidation programs are designed for bulk industrial volumes. We typically require a minimum of one full truckload (approx. 20-26 pallets) to secure a buyout offer. For smaller LTL quantities, shipping costs often outweigh the material value.
Can you take boxes with our logo on them?
Yes. Many "box reuse" buyers accept branded boxes, provided they are turned inside out or used for internal logistics. If your brand standards strictly prohibit reuse, we can recycle them as OCC (Old Corrugated Containers) instead.
What information do you need for a quote?
To provide a valuation, we need:
Photos of the material and packaging labels.
Specs: Dimensions, material type, and quantity per pallet.
Volume: Total pallet count and weight.
Condition: Must be new/unused and properly palletized.
