Free pallet pickup in the Lower Mainland
Used pallets pile up fast and take up valuable yard space. We buy used pallets and collect them from warehouses, manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
- Free pickup for loads of 200 or more standard-size 4-way pallets.
- Smaller loads and mixed sizes have a pickup charge that we quote upfront, so there are no surprises.
- Regular pickups can be scheduled weekly or monthly so pallets never pile up.
- Broken pallets are accepted as part of a load and repaired or recycled instead of going to landfill.
Sending pallets for reuse also helps you avoid garbage fees. In Metro Vancouver, garbage loads containing more than 5% clean wood, including untreated pallets, can be charged a surcharge at regional disposal facilities.
Recycled pallet grades we supply
Every pallet we collect is sorted and inspected. Pallets that can be reused go back into service as graded recycled pallets:
| Grade | Condition | Best for | Monthly supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 (Grade A) | Near-new, few or no repairs | Outbound shipments to customers and distribution centres | About 16,000 |
| #2 (Grade B) | Structurally sound, may have repaired boards or cosmetic wear | Internal moves, storage and cost-sensitive shipping | About 20,000 |
| Reconditioned block pallets | Repaired block pallets with 4-way entry | Heavy loads and racking | About 3,000 |
Grade A and Grade B 48 x 40 pallets are also available heat-treated. Read more about sizes and grades in our standard pallet sizes guide, or see new pallet manufacturing if you need custom sizes.
How pallet repair works
Repairable pallets have broken or cracked deck boards and damaged stringers or blocks replaced with salvaged wood, then they are checked again before going back into service. Repair is usually far cheaper than building new, and it keeps good wood in use for longer. Pallets that are beyond repair are taken apart: usable boards are salvaged for repairs and the rest of the wood is recycled.
