The last four per cent
Everything the sort deck rejected, on its way to the grinder. It leaves as mulch, bedding and boiler fibre — not as landfill.

What ships here
Florida, in freight terms.
Florida is a long way from Columbus and it is also, in pallet terms, an unusual market. It is a net importer of almost everything, which means a very large inbound flow and a chronic surplus of used pallets at the consumption end — the opposite of a manufacturing state.
That surplus is why local recycled supply in Florida is generally cheap and plentiful, and why hauling pallets down from Ohio makes no sense at all for routine stock. We will always say so.
Produce is the exception worth discussing. Citrus and vegetable packing runs hard seasonal peaks with specific hygiene and ventilation requirements, and specification advice on that travels regardless of who ultimately supplies the wood.

Questions
Buying pallets in Florida.
Do you deliver to Florida?
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 Florida?
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 Florida?
Specification and program design; engineered builds for aerospace. Routine recycled stock is abundant locally.
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.
