Recycling & buyback programs
Pallets that arrive on your dock don't have to leave it as trash. Our recycling and buyback program collects them on a schedule, sorts them by grade, and either credits your account or routes them back into our supplier network for reconditioning.
How it works
How recycling & buyback programs works
- 01
Site survey.
We assess your outbound pallet volume, grade mix, and pickup logistics by site.
- 02
Scheduled pickup.
Weekly or monthly trailer pulls — no dock-occupancy fees, no scheduling headaches.
- 03
Credit or payment.
Sorted, graded, and either credited against your next purchase or paid out per the program terms.

Why bid this through us
Pallet recycling pricing varies by region more than any other commodity in our space. Bidding the buyback rate against multiple reclaim operations captures the current market value of your outbound material.
