America's Trusted Used Pallet Partner
Pallets Resale is a full-service used pallet company dedicated to extending the life of every pallet that passes through our hands. Founded on the belief that sustainable business practices and profitability go hand in hand, we have built a nationwide network that connects businesses with high-quality recycled pallets.
Every year, an estimated 700 million pallets end up in landfills across the United States. We exist to change that number. By buying, refurbishing, and reselling used pallets, we keep valuable wood resources in circulation and help businesses reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing quality or reliability.

The Full Pallet Lifecycle
From collection to delivery, we manage every stage of the used pallet supply chain with an unwavering focus on ecology and sustainability.
Buy Used Pallets
We purchase surplus, damaged, and end-of-life pallets from warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturers across the country. No quantity is too large or too small.
Sell Recycled Pallets
Every pallet we sell is inspected, graded, and sorted. Businesses save up to 50% compared to new pallets while getting reliable, load-tested products.
Recycle & Repair
Pallets that can be repaired are restored to full working condition. Those beyond repair are broken down and their materials recycled into mulch, animal bedding, or new pallets.
Transport & Deliver
Our fleet and logistics partners ensure timely pickup and delivery anywhere in the continental United States, with tracking and scheduled service windows.
Rooted in Sustainability
Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to ecological responsibility, quality, and creating real value for our customers and the planet.
Ecological Responsibility
We measure success not just in profit, but in pallets diverted from landfills, trees saved, and carbon emissions prevented. The environment is at the heart of everything we do.
Zero-Waste Commitment
Nothing goes to waste in our operation. Every pallet is reused, repaired, or fully recycled. Wood that cannot be rebuilt becomes mulch, biomass fuel, or animal bedding.
Quality Without Compromise
Used does not mean inferior. Every pallet we sell undergoes rigorous inspection, load testing, and grading to ensure it meets the demands of your supply chain.
Customer-First Service
We build long-term partnerships, not transactions. Personalized service, flexible scheduling, and transparent pricing keep our customers coming back year after year.
Circular Economy Advocates
We are champions of the circular economy model. By keeping pallets in use longer, we reduce the demand for new raw materials and lower the overall environmental footprint of logistics.
Community Impact
We create local jobs, support community recycling programs, and partner with environmental organizations to plant trees and restore natural habitats in the areas we serve.
