Local picture

What moves through Appleton.

The Fox River valley mills consume pallets at a rate that makes program pricing worthwhile even at this distance.

Appleton sits in Outagamie County, served by I-41, US-10 and US-41. The local freight base is paper mills, printing, insurance, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Appleton is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 445 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.

Do you collect used pallets from Appleton?

Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.
