Recycling FAQs
What pallets qualify for recycling pickup?
We accept wooden pallets in any condition. Repairable pallets are rebuilt; irreparable ones are recycled.
Is there a fee for pallet recycling?
Clean, stackable pallets are typically picked up at no charge. Fees may apply for contaminated or very small loads.
Do you provide recycling certificates?
Yes. We can issue recycling and diversion reports for your sustainability records.
Can you handle mixed scrap piles?
We sort mixed stacks, separate usable pallets, and remove broken wood for proper recycling.
How often can you pick up pallets?
Pickups can be scheduled one-time, weekly, or on-call based on your dock space and volume.
Do nails and debris need to be removed?
No, we handle nail removal during processing. Please avoid pallets soaked with chemicals or heavy contaminants.
What happens to pallets that cannot be repaired?
They are processed into mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel instead of going to landfill.
Can you place a trailer for ongoing recycling?
Yes. Drop trailers keep docks clear and make large-volume recycling simple.
Do you recycle custom or odd-sized pallets?
We recycle most sizes. Share photos or dimensions so we can plan sorting and transport.
How quickly can you clear a backlog?
Local backlogs can often be cleared within 24-48 hours with proper truck scheduling.
