Have two boxes. The courier delivers one and picks up the other.

I worked at a food startup for a while.

Turns out local (Swiss) regulations prohibited a food delivery van to carry both refrigerated fresh food and unrefrigerated, dirty containers at the same time.

The company really wanted to push towards reusable containers, but that would legally require making two trips, so it could never be economical.
