The disposal of empty pallets is a challenge for some businesses as garbage areas and storage back rooms fill up with unwanted or broken platforms.
Small quantities, unusual sizes, poor quality, and local market dynamics are some of the reasons why pallets accumulate.
Durable Pallets Last Longer
Consider switching to a more durable pallet that will last longer and requires less repair or replacement. Investing in a better quality pallet dramatically reduces your cost per use such as a heavy-duty wood pallet or a highly durable alternative material pallet.

Leave Out as Free
Throwing out old pallets or unwanted wood crate material outside of your fence as "free pallets and firewood." is an eyesore and is not recommended. It may increase other risks such as arson or injury.
