• Answer:

  stevewood-ga: The value of a shipping pallet depends on its size, design, material, condition, and location. Companies that would purchase used shipping pallets include trucking/logistics companies, pallet recycling companies, and warehousing operations. Suppliers of new and used pallets do not publish their prices. Instead, they use a quotes process to gather the customer's requirements, calculate the appropriate pallet for the job, then quote based on the needs and the quantity required. Recyclers of used pallets typically provide 'free pickup' service in exchange for not having to pay for the pallets. Buyers of recycled pallets prefer to purchase pallets from known dealers who can back up the performance of the pallets with a guarantee. Your best route to take would be to contact a couple of trucking firms in your area, as well as any pallet companies, to see if they are willing to purchase the pallets at this time. Here are some companies you can contact: --- http://www.cratesunlimited.com Crates Unlimited (located 2 km East of Orangeville on Hwy #9) Telephone: 519-941-2149 Toll Free: 800-565-7581 Fax: 519-941-9693 Mailing Address: P.O.

At a minimum, Crates Unlimited should be willing to take them off your hands for recycling, and they are located in the Orangeville area. Hope this helps! aht-ga Google Answers Researcher
