Collection & Sorting
We pick up your unwanted pallets and transport them to our facility. Our team sorts them by material type, condition, and potential use.
Assessment & Grading
Each pallet is evaluated to determine if it can be repaired, reused, or needs to be broken down for materials.
Repair & Refurbishment
Pallets in good structural condition are repaired and returned to circulation, extending their useful life.
Material Recovery
Pallets beyond repair are dismantled and processed into valuable secondary materials.
Documentation
We provide complete documentation of the recycling process for your sustainability reporting.
Zero Waste Commitment
Every component is reused or recycled - we guarantee zero landfill disposal.
What Happens to Recycled Materials

Yes, we process over 10,000 pallets monthly and can scale services to match any volume from small businesses to major facilities.
Do recycled pallets meet quality standards?
Absolutely. Repaired pallets are re-inspected and graded to ensure they meet the same standards as new pallets.
The Circular Economy of Pallets
Wood pallets represent one of the most successfully recycled products in modern commerce, with recovery rates exceeding 95% in professional programs. Unlike single-use packaging that becomes immediate waste, pallets enter a circular economy where they're used, collected, repaired, reused, and ultimately recycled into new products. This closed-loop system dramatically reduces demand for virgin lumber, helping preserve forests while creating economic value from materials previously considered waste. Our recycling program processes over 10,000 pallets monthly, diverting approximately 500 tons of wood from landfills annually. The environmental mathematics are compelling: each ton of recycled wood prevents roughly 1.5 tons of CO2 emissions compared to landfill disposal and new lumber production. For businesses committed to sustainability, pallet recycling represents low-hanging fruit with measurable environmental impact and documentation for ESG reporting.
Maximizing Material Recovery Value
Not all pallet recycling achieves the same environmental or economic outcomes. Our multi-tier sorting process ensures maximum value recovery from every pallet. Grade A and B pallets suitable for repair are refurbished and returned to circulation, preserving the embodied energy and resources invested in their original manufacturing. Pallets with structural damage but good lumber are disassembled, with usable boards harvested for repair parts or resale. Damaged or contaminated wood is ground into landscaping mulch or processed into biomass fuel pellets, both higher-value applications than landfill. Metal fasteners are magnetically separated and sold to scrap processors. Even sawdust from our operations is collected for animal bedding. This comprehensive approach achieves genuine zero waste, where every input becomes either a reused product or raw material for manufacturing. Companies partnering with us receive detailed documentation of material disposition, supporting circular economy claims and sustainability certifications.
Corporate Sustainability Integration
Forward-thinking companies increasingly recognize that pallet recycling belongs in corporate sustainability strategies, not just waste management. Our program provides the documentation and metrics necessary for sophisticated reporting frameworks including CDP, GRI, and SASB standards. We supply monthly reports detailing pallets collected, materials diverted from landfill, CO2 emissions avoided, and equivalent trees saved. These metrics directly support Scope 3 emissions reduction targets and circular economy commitments. Additionally, our Green Business Certification and Zero Waste Facility status enables partners to strengthen their own sustainability claims through association with certified providers. Companies pursuing B Corp certification, LEED credits, or industry-specific green certifications find our documentation valuable during audits. We also support corporate sustainability communications with case studies, photographs, and facility tours that demonstrate genuine environmental commitment beyond greenwashing. For businesses where sustainability drives brand value and stakeholder trust, professional pallet recycling becomes strategic rather than operational.
