- Loads from 100 pallets to full 53' trailers
- We buy as readily as we sell — tell us which way it flows
Segregation
Sorted by type, not by convenience. Pooled units go back to the pool; plastic runs a separate stream entirely.

What ships here
Alaska, in freight terms.
Alaska is a special case in every sense. Almost everything arrives by barge from Tacoma or by air, and almost nothing is manufactured locally, which produces an extreme version of the consumption-market pallet surplus.
That surplus is real and it is a genuine disposal problem. Pallets accumulate at the receiving end with nowhere economical to send them, and the recycling infrastructure that would exist in a mainland city of comparable size mostly does not.
Seafood processing is the dominant industrial packaging requirement, and it is a wash-down environment with strict hygiene rules. That specification conversation is one we can have usefully; supplying the wood is not.

Questions
Buying pallets in Alaska.
Do you deliver to Alaska?
Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so.
What is the minimum order into Alaska?
A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.
What footprints move most in Alaska?
Hygiene specification for seafood processing; program design. Physical supply is impractical.
Can you quote a custom build here?
Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
