Dispose of Pallets Right

Do not place pallets or parts of pallets in curbside recycling.

 

Pallets, particularly wooden pallets, transport goods throughout the country. Most are wooden pallets while some are manufactured from corrugated, metal, or plastic. Recycling pallets can save businesses and individuals money through lower disposal fees and benefit the environment by recycling and reducing landfill contributions. Pallets can be refurbished or shredded for recycling.

 

See a fact sheet for businesses on pallet management and waste reduction.

 

Reuse 

Old wooden pallets can be repurposed into outdoor furniture, vertical gardens, or functional indoor storage units.

 

Recycle

Residents and businesses can recycle pallets through local specialized companies. See the list of Business Locations below.
