Service 02 — Selling

Sell the pallets stacking up behind your dock.

Whole, repairable 48×40 pallets have resale value. Odd sizes, wet pallets and broken ones are harder to sell and often end up as a removal job instead. Tell us what you have and we pass it to a partner supplier that buys used pallets.

What makes a load worth more

  • 01Sort by sizeA stack of one footprint is easier to value and load than a mixed pile. Keep 48×40 GMA separate from everything else.
  • 02Keep them dryPallets left out in the rain lose value. Wet wood is heavier, weaker and can grow mould under wrap.
  • 03Separate the broken onesPull out pallets with cracked stringers or missing boards. A clean stack of good pallets is valued as good pallets.
  • 04Count honestlyA rough count is fine on the form. Say whether it is a one-off load or something you generate every week.

What sells

Not every pallet is worth paying for

Standard 48×40 GMA pallets in good shape are the easiest to sell, because they are the easiest to reuse. Block pallets, odd sizes and damaged units are often worth less, or cost money to take away. Pooled pallets belong to the pool operator, so they are not yours to sell.

If what you have is mostly in the second group, pickup and removal may be the better request.
