Used Pallets for Retail & E-Commerce Fulfillment

Grade A and Grade B 48×40 pallets, half pallets and pickup of empties, through partner suppliers.

About Retail & E-Commerce Pallet Solutions

Retail distribution centers and fulfillment operations use large numbers of standard 48×40 pallets, and buying recycled pallets is a common way to manage that cost. Many operations mix grades: Grade A pallets where appearance and strength matter most, Grade B pallets for floor stacking or one-way shipments. GreenCycle Pallets is a referral service. We pass your request to partner suppliers in our network who can quote recycled pallets, half pallets and plastic pallets, and who may buy or pick up your empty pallets. If your retail customers have pallet requirements, include them with your request. Delivery and pickup are available through partner suppliers, depending on your location and volume.
