Who Buys Plastic Pallets Near Me?
Most plastic pallets retain resale value. Locate local recyclers, buyback programs, and pooling partners that pay for surplus pallets while keeping branded assets in circulation.
Recycler directories
- Search “plastic pallet recycler” plus your city in Google Maps for local yards.
- Check plastics industry directories (e.g., ISRI members) for buyers of HDPE and PP pallets.
- Contact logistics companies that run pallet depots—they may purchase pallets for refurbishment.
Always confirm pallets are your property; pooled assets like CHEP should go back to the provider.
Buyback programs
Several manufacturers and distributors buy back lightly used pallets:
- ORBIS Reusable Packaging Management: Offers asset recovery for ORBIS-branded pallets.
- Craemer service partners: Collect and recycle out-of-spec pallets.
- Regional recyclers: Pay per pallet based on condition and load rating.
Paperwork & compliance
Capture proof of ownership
Invoices or transfer documentation prevent disputes when selling pallets.
Check asset branding
Do not sell CHEP, iGPS, or Tosca pallets—they must be returned. Follow pooling compliance rules.
Record weights
Weigh stacks and log resin types; buyers often price by material and condition.
