Pallet Recycling

How much do you spend on pallets?
Are you wasting pallets and money?

The way your company manages pallets has a direct impact on your bottom line. Re-evaluating your pallet handling options may identify opportunities to save money and reduce what you throw away as waste.

The costs associated with pallets go beyond their purchase price. Companies also bear the costs of shipping, storing and handling pallets. If pallets do not protect your goods, it is likely that you are also paying for breakage during shipping. If you receive parts or finished goods that are shipped using pallets, you must also pay for their disposal.

Examine your choice of pallets and how you manage them. You may be able to improve your material handling and save money by changing your disposal methods for wooden pallets. Roughly 50 percent of all wooden pallets are designed to make just one "trip," but many pallets are durable enough for repeated use. Pallets in good condition may simply be reused; wood from damaged pallets may be used to build or repair others. We accept used pallets for recycling and remanufacturing.

A standard pallet size is 48 x 40 inches; odd sizes may be difficult to reuse. If pallets are broken or damaged beyond repair, they can be ground up for use as mulch. Pallet recycling helps you control the high costs of waste disposal and 'the bottom line'.
