Donate & Partner With Us

The Box Stops Here is transforming cardboard byproduct into high-quality shipping and moving inventory — diverting it from Anchorage landfills one box at a time. Whether you're a local business with surplus cardboard or a community member who believes in the circular economy, there's a place for you in this mission.

Donate Your Cardboard

For Anchorage & Eagle River Business Partners

Local retailers generate significant cardboard waste every week. Grocery stores, bookstores, appliance shops — your loading docks don't have to be a bottleneck. When you partner with The Box Stops Here, we handle the breakdown and disposal so your team doesn't have to. That means lower internal labor costs and stronger corporate sustainability metrics, without adding a single task to your staff's plate.

Scheduled Route Sourcing

We provide dedicated bins and perform weekly Swap-Outs to keep your loading dock clear and your operations running smoothly. No scheduling headaches — just a reliable, recurring pickup built around your business.

Intake Quality Control

To ensure every box can be reused, we can only accept cardboard that is dry, odor-free, and structurally sound. Wet, contaminated, or crushed material cannot enter our inventory stream. Our team will walk you through what qualifies when you apply — keeping the process simple and the standards high.

Help Fund Our Environmental Mission

The cardboard is free. Turning it into inventory is not.

Every Monday, our team runs a high-labor protocol we call Monday Hub Day. Every box is de-bulked, tape-stripped, and graded into Grade A (Premium) or Grade B (Standard) stock before it ever reaches a customer. It's meticulous work — and it's what makes our inventory worth using.

Community support helps fund two critical parts of our operation:

Dry Zone Storage — Our climate-controlled facility keeps inventory in reusable condition year-round, protecting it from Anchorage's harsh seasonal conditions.
Batched Delivery Routes — We run efficient, consolidated delivery routes serving Anchorage and Eagle River, reducing emissions and keeping costs low for everyone.

When you support The Box Stops Here, you're not just donating — you're keeping cardboard out of local landfills and putting it back to work in our community.
