Pallet Recycling
Free Pickup, Repair & Reuse
Pallet recycling recovers wooden and plastic pallets from commercial operations through repair, reuse, and material recovery. Over 2 billion pallets circulate in the US supply chain annually — pallets in good condition are repaired and returned to service, while end-of-life pallets are processed into mulch, biomass, or recycled lumber.
Two Billion Pallets. Zero Should Go to Landfill.
Pallets are one of the most recyclable items in the commercial waste stream — yet millions end up in landfills every year. The economics are simple: good pallets are worth repairing, damaged pallets yield reusable lumber, and end-of-life pallets produce mulch and biomass fuel. Nothing needs to go to waste.
For high-volume generators like distribution centers and manufacturers, pallet recycling isn't just environmentally responsible — it's free. We pick up at no charge for qualifying commercial volumes, and for Grade A pallets, we offer buyback programs that turn your waste into revenue.
