How Evergrain helps
Fast, flexible removal
On-demand and scheduled pickups sized to store or DC volume.
Value recovery
We pay for resalable units, offsetting your removal cost.
Outbound supply
Graded pallets delivered where your fulfillment needs them.
Peak-season ramp-up
We scale pickup frequency ahead of holiday and promotional surges so back rooms do not choke when inbound spikes. Routes ease back to normal once volume settles.
Small-format and urban routes
For tight urban and small-format stores we plan compact, frequent pickups that fit limited dock access. You avoid stockpiling pallets in space you cannot spare.
Safety and egress relief
Regular removal keeps pallets from stacking up against exits and fire lanes, helping you stay clear on egress and fire-code. A clear back room is also a safer, more productive one.
Customer-facing sustainability data
We report units reused and wood diverted so you can back up sustainability claims to shoppers and stakeholders. It turns routine pallet removal into a measurable green result.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you service many store locations?
Yes — we coordinate multi-location retail pickups on a route schedule.
Is removal free?
For loads rich in resalable sizes it can be free or earn a rebate; low-value loads carry a modest fee.
Can you increase pickups during the holidays?
Yes. We ramp frequency ahead of known peak and promotional windows so empties do not overwhelm your back room, then scale back once volume normalizes. Give us your peak calendar and we will plan around it.
What if our stores have very little dock space?
For small-format and urban locations we run more frequent, smaller pickups so pallets never accumulate. That keeps limited dock and storage areas usable.
Do you handle mixed or damaged pallets from returns?
Yes. Reverse-logistics streams often mix broken and off-size units, and we take them as-is. Whole, resalable pallets in the load improve your pricing, but you do not need to separate them.
Can you both remove empties and supply pallets we need?
Yes. Many retail and e-commerce accounts run both with us — we pull empties from stores and back rooms and deliver graded outbound pallets to fulfillment. One relationship covers the full loop.
How does removal help with fire-code and safety compliance?
Stacked pallets blocking exits and fire lanes are a common inspection finding. Scheduled removal keeps them from piling up, helping you maintain clear egress and reduce a real fire load in the building.
