Pallet Recycling
Recycling a pallet isn't one action, it's a cascade. Each step gets more use out of the same board before it's ever considered waste.
Ask to have your used and broken pallets collected for recycling. Sound pallets can be repaired and reused, unrepairable ones dismantled for boards and rebuilt pallets, and the final scraps ground into mulch and biomass fuel.

The cascade, step by step
Reuse beats recycling, and recycling beats disposal. A pallet is reused whole if possible, repaired if needed, remanufactured if the frame is gone, and only ground once every board has given all it can.
- Reuse: sound pallets are cleaned, sorted, and put back into service
- Repair: cracked stringers, loose deckboards, and missing leadboards are replaced
- Remanufacture: serviceable 'combo' pallets are rebuilt from salvaged parts
- Reclaim: de-nailed boards, blocks, and runners go to builders and makers
- Grind: clean scrap becomes landscaping mulch and biomass fuel
Where recycled wood ends up
A recycled pallet rarely just becomes trash. It becomes several useful things: the frame goes back to work, the good boards feed repairs and custom builds, character boards go to woodworkers, and the final scraps become mulch and biomass fuel.
Recycling instead of a dumpster
A roll-off charges by weight to bury reusable hardwood. Recycling usually costs less, and any sellable pallets in the mix can offset the cost.
If you report on waste diversion, say so in your request and ask what records the pickup can come with.
Good questions
Pallet Recycling FAQ
What happens to a pallet that can't be repaired?
It's dismantled. Sound boards, stringers, and blocks can go to repairs, custom builds, and reclaimed-wood buyers; the rest can be ground into landscaping mulch and biomass fuel.
Is recycling cheaper than throwing pallets in a dumpster?
Usually. A roll-off charges by weight to bury reusable hardwood, and any sellable pallets in the pile can offset the cost of recycling.
Can you recycle other wood packaging, not just pallets?
Crates, collars, skids, and clean wood packaging can often be recycled the same way. Say what you have in your request.
How do I start a recycling arrangement?
Use the form with your location, rough monthly volume, and whether you want one-time or recurring pickups. A partner supplier in our network replies by email.
Can I buy recycled pallets too?
Yes. You can ask for recycled and remanufactured pallets and reclaimed boards in the same request.
