Pallet Removal & Pickup
Reclaim your dock space.
The short answer
Pallet removal and pickup are available through partner suppliers in our network, on a schedule or on demand. Send your counts, sizes, and site details; a partner supplier follows up with a quote. Serviceable units are typically resold or recycled, and broken wood is commonly ground for mulch or biomass.

Scheduled or on-demand
High-volume warehouses often want a standing weekly or biweekly pickup. Retailers and smaller sites often prefer on-demand pickups when the stack gets tall. Tell the partner supplier your volume and they can suggest a cadence.
Safer docks
Piled pallets block fire lanes, invite pests, and add fire load. Regular removal keeps aisles clear and frees floor space.
- Clear fire lanes and egress paths
- Reduce pest harborage
- Recover usable floor space
- Cut ad-hoc dumpster runs
Removal can offset its own cost
Because removed pallets can be resold and recycled, removal is not always a pure expense. In-demand sizes can offset the pickup cost. Low-value or contaminated loads may carry a charge.
Preparing for a pickup
Keep the pallets stacked and accessible for a truck, ideally near a dock or a spot with room to maneuver. If access is tight or the volume is unusual, say so in your request so the right equipment can be planned.
- Keep pallets stacked and truck-accessible
- Mention access limits and preferred timing
- Send a rough count and photos
- Ask for a count of what is removed if you need one
What a removal quote depends on
Removal is not a single flat rate. The quote turns on the mix of sizes and grades, how much moves per trip, condition, and distance to the partner supplier. A load of resalable 48x40s can cover its own pickup cost, while a load of low-value or contaminated wood may carry a fee.
Who benefits from scheduled removal
Any operation where empties build up faster than they leave: distribution centers, manufacturers, grocery and big-box retail, and third-party logistics sites. Smaller and seasonal sites often do better with on-demand pickups.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can pallets be picked up?
It depends on the partner supplier’s schedule and your location. Timing is confirmed with the quote.
Is there a charge?
It depends on your mix, condition, and volume. Loads heavy in resalable sizes may cost little or nothing to remove; low-value or contaminated loads may carry a fee. Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers.
Is my area covered?
Requests come from across the USA; availability depends on partner suppliers near you. Enter your ZIP code in the form.
Do I need to prepare the pallets first?
Keep them stacked and accessible for a truck. Ask the partner supplier if they need anything else.
What is the difference between removal and recycling?
Removal is the pickup and hauling; recycling is what happens to the wood afterward. The same partner supplier often handles both.
Can a large one-time clean-out be handled?
Yes, you can request one-time clean-outs, facility moves, and backlog removals. Give a rough count and access details in the form.
What happens to the pallets after pickup?
Serviceable units are typically resold or returned to use, repairable ones are fixed, and end-of-life wood is commonly ground into mulch or biomass. Ask the partner supplier how they handle each.
