Pallet recycling keeps millions of tons of reusable lumber out of landfills every year. Wood that would otherwise decompose and release methane — a potent greenhouse gas — is instead reclaimed and put back into productive use.
Recycled pallets reduce the demand for newly harvested timber, helping preserve forests and lower carbon emissions from the logging and milling process.
By partnering with a local recycler, businesses directly contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded.
Yes, we operate a fleet of trucks that provide pallet pickup services across the Greater Houston metropolitan area. Most pickups can be scheduled within one to two business days of your request.
We accommodate single pickups as well as recurring scheduled pickups for businesses that generate pallets on a regular basis. Recurring customers may qualify for premium pricing.
There is no minimum quantity required, though larger loads allow us to offer more competitive per-pallet pricing.
Pallet values depend on condition, size, and current market demand. Grade A 48x40 pallets typically sell for $6 to $12 each in the Houston market. Grade B pallets range from $3 to $7, and Grade C or scrap pallets fetch $1 to $3 per unit.
Heat-treated pallets with ISPM-15 certification can command a premium of $2 to $4 above standard pricing due to their value in international shipping.
Prices fluctuate seasonally, with demand often peaking in the fall ahead of the holiday shipping season.
Recycled pallets are used pallets that have been inspected and sorted by grade but are sold in their current condition without repairs. They are the most cost-effective option for businesses that do not require cosmetically perfect pallets.
Remanufactured pallets have been taken apart, repaired with replacement boards and nails, and reassembled to meet specific quality standards. They are structurally equivalent to new pallets at a fraction of the cost.
Both options are significantly more affordable and environmentally friendly than purchasing brand-new pallets for every shipment.
Absolutely. We work with businesses of all sizes, from small warehouses with a few dozen pallets to large distribution centers generating thousands per month. No quantity is too small for us to consider.
For smaller quantities, we recommend grouping your pallets by grade and stacking them neatly to simplify the pickup process and ensure you receive the best possible price.
