Pallet Recovery & Pickup

Pallets piling up? We'll take a look and haul them out.

If empty pallets are eating your dock space, we buy and collect them across southeastern Minnesota. Tell us what you have, we'll assess it by grade and volume, and we'll pick it up on our own trucks. If you have cardboard going out too, that can ride on the same stop.

How it works

Three steps, and the first one takes about two minutes.

STEP 01

Tell us what you have

Rough count, size, and condition. A couple of photos of the stack tells us more than a description does.

STEP 02

We assess by grade

We price on what's actually there. Sound 48x40 hardwood is worth more than broken stringers, and we'll tell you which you've got.

STEP 03

We pick it up

On our own equipment. Straight trucks where the dock is tight, semis for full loads, and a Moffett forklift where there's no dock at all.

What we look for

The closer your stock is to the top of this list, the more it's worth to you.

  • 48x40 GMA hardwoodThe standard we rebuild and resell. Always of interest.
  • Repairable stringer palletsCracked or damaged stringers are fine — repair is what we do.
  • Mixed and odd-size loadsWorth asking about. Volume can make a mixed load work.
  • Recurring volumeIf you generate empties every week, we'd rather set up a standing pickup.

Why we quote instead of posting a rate

A flat per-pallet price sounds simpler, but it only works by rounding against somebody. Either it underpays you for good stock, or it's set low enough that we have to turn down loads worth collecting.

So we look at grade, condition, and how many you've got, and we give you a real number for your actual load. If the load isn't worth paying for, we'll tell you that too, and quote you a straight removal instead.

Also worth knowingWe supply new hardwood, refurbished, and custom pallets from the same yard — so the truck that collects your empties can drop your next load on the same run, and take your corrugate while it is there.
