Pallet Removal & Pickup
Reclaim your dock space. We take it from here.
The short answer
Evergrain removes unwanted pallets from your site on a schedule that matches your volume, or on demand when they pile up. We load, count, and haul everything — serviceable units are recycled or resold, true waste is ground for mulch — so nothing you hand us goes to landfill.

Scheduled or on-demand — your call
High-volume warehouses usually want a standing weekly or biweekly pickup. Retailers and smaller sites often prefer on-demand: you call when the stack gets tall, we come clear it. We build the cadence around your throughput, not a rigid route.
Safer docks, fewer fines
Piled pallets are a genuine hazard — they block fire lanes, invite pests, and become a fire load. Regular removal keeps aisles clear, keeps your facility inspection-ready, and frees square footage you are effectively paying rent on.
- Clear fire lanes and egress paths
- Reduce pest harborage
- Recover usable floor space
- Cut ad-hoc dumpster runs
Removal that pays for itself
Because we resell and recycle what we collect, removal is not a one-way expense. In-demand sizes offset the haul cost and can flip the whole service to a credit. You lose the clutter and, often, the bill.
What a pickup actually looks like
When our driver arrives, the goal is to be in and out without disrupting your operation. We stage the load, count it, and handle the physical work of loading so your team stays on their own tasks. Before we leave, the driver sweeps the area so you are left with clear space, not a debris trail.
You do not need to sort, band, or break anything down ahead of time. Simply 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, tell us in advance and we will bring the right equipment.
- Driver handles staging, loading, and cleanup
- No pre-sorting or banding required on your end
- Keep pallets stacked and truck-accessible
- Documented count of everything removed
How removal pricing is determined
Removal is not a single flat rate because no two loads are alike. The number turns on the mix of sizes and grades, how much volume moves per trip, and how far you are from our Memphis operation or a partner yard. A load full of resalable 48x40s can cover its own haul cost or even earn you a rebate, while a load of low-value or contaminated wood carries a modest fee.
That fee, when it applies, is structured to sit below what a landfill would charge you in tipping plus your own dumpster and labor. We quote each site individually after a quick profile of what you generate, and standing accounts often see the per-trip cost drop as routes get optimized. The honest answer is that many clean-heavy loads pay for themselves.
Who benefits most from scheduled removal
Any operation where empties accumulate faster than they leave is a candidate — distribution centers, manufacturers, big-box and grocery retail, and third-party logistics sites all tend to generate steady pallet surplus. For these, a standing weekly or biweekly pickup keeps docks clear without anyone having to think about it.
Smaller sites and seasonal operations often do better with on-demand: you call when the stack gets tall, we come clear it. The right model depends on your rhythm, and we would rather set you up with the cadence that actually fits than push a schedule you do not need.
Nothing we haul goes to waste
Removal and recycling are two ends of the same service for us. Everything we collect flows into the same recovery loop — serviceable units are resold or returned to circulation, repairable units are fixed, and only genuine end-of-life wood is ground into mulch or biomass. That is how we can promise to divert from landfill wherever it is possible.
For you, that means clearing your dock and shrinking your waste footprint are the same action. We can document the tonnage diverted so the environmental benefit shows up in your sustainability reporting rather than disappearing into a dumpster.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you come?
Most first pickups happen within about 48 hours of a confirmed request; standing accounts run on a fixed schedule.
Is there a charge?
It depends on your mix and volume. Loads heavy in resalable sizes can be free or earn a rebate; low-value or contaminated loads may carry a modest fee below landfill cost.
Do you service my area?
We run regional routes out of Memphis and partner with a broader carrier network. Enter your city in the form and we will confirm coverage.
Do I need to sort or prepare the pallets first?
No. Just keep them stacked and accessible for a truck. Our driver handles staging, loading, and cleanup, and we sort at our facility, so there is no prep work on your end.
What is the difference between removal and recycling?
Removal is the pickup and hauling; recycling is what happens to the wood afterward. With Evergrain they are the same service — everything we remove flows into our recovery loop, so nothing usable is landfilled.
Can you handle a large one-time clean-out?
Yes. Alongside recurring pickups we handle one-time dock clear-outs, facility moves, and backlog removals. Give us a rough count and access details in the form and we will scope the equipment and timing.
What happens to the pallets after you take them?
Serviceable units are resold or returned to circulation, repairable ones are fixed, and true end-of-life wood is ground into mulch or biomass. We divert from landfill wherever possible and can document the tonnage for your reporting.
Will removal disrupt my dock operations?
It is designed not to. Drivers work around your flow, keep the load staged out of the way, and sweep before leaving. If you have access constraints or preferred timing windows, tell us and we will plan around them.
