How does pallet recycling work?
Partner suppliers typically collect pallets, sort them by condition, repair what is reusable, and recycle the rest, often into mulch or biomass.

Repairable pallets may have some value. Fully worn-out pallets may have little or no value. The supplier who quotes you decides.

Pickup timing is set by the supplier who takes your request. Mention any deadline in your request.

Sorting can help, but it is not always required. Ask your supplier whether they sort at pickup.

Very small or remote pickups may carry a fee set by the supplier. Confirm costs with them before scheduling.

Some partner suppliers offer scheduled pickups. Mention it in your request.
How does pallet recycling support sustainability goals?
Repairing and reusing pallets avoids building new ones, and recycling wood keeps it in use rather than discarded.
