If your business receives products on pallets, you probably have a pile of empties taking up space in your warehouse or parking lot. Instead of paying for disposal, you could be getting paid. Here's how pallet buyback programs work.
What Is a Buyback Program?
A pallet buyback program is simple: we come to your location, pick up your empty pallets, and pay you for them. The price depends on pallet condition, size, and quantity. It's the easiest way to turn a liability (storage space, disposal costs) into revenue.
What We Buy
We buy pallets in all conditions:
- Good condition: $2-5 per pallet depending on size and grade
- Repairable: $1-3 per pallet — we fix them and put them back in service
- Damaged/broken: We still take them, often at no charge. Salvageable wood gets reused; the rest becomes mulch.
How It Works
1. Contact us with your approximate quantity and pallet condition
2. We schedule a pickup — typically within 48 hours
3. Our crew loads your pallets onto our truck (you don't need to do anything)
4. We count and grade the pallets at our facility
5. You get paid — check or credit toward future pallet purchases
Regular Pickup Schedules
For businesses that accumulate pallets steadily, we set up recurring pickups. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — whatever matches your volume. This eliminates pallet buildup and provides a steady revenue stream (or credit toward purchases).
The Math
A business that accumulates 100 pallets per month at an average buyback value of $3 generates $3,600 per year — plus saves the $1-2 per pallet disposal cost they'd otherwise pay. That's potentially $6,000+ in annual value from pallets that were previously just taking up space.
Get Started
If you have 50+ pallets sitting around, give us a call. There's no minimum commitment and no long-term contract. We'll quote you, schedule a pickup, and you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner.
