Recycling Services/Used Pallet Sales

Recycled pallets have become a large part of the pallet industry, and RCD Timber Products leads the way in used pallet sales, pallet repair programs, and remanufactured pallets. Recycled pallets can be put back into the system at a much reduced cost compared to a new pallet, and they minimize the impact of used pallets on our environment.RCD Timber Products offers top dollar to buy standard spec pallets from our customers that they would otherwise need to dispose of. These pallets are repaired and re-sold as quality used pallets. The most common of these type pallets are 48"x40" 4-way pallets. Several grades of used pallets are available. Call one of our sales associates to learn which pallet would work best for your company.Why dispose of a pallet that still has useful life remaining? If you have pallets in your inventory that simply need to be repaired, RCD Timber Products can set up a pallet repair program to get this pallet back into your operation at minimal cost. These programs are available for any size or type of pallet.Remanufactured or combo pallets are a great way to utilize lumber that would otherwise end up in a landfill. If a pallet with no resale value due to size needs to be disposed of, it can be dismantled and the good lumber can be processed into usable boards. What cannot be re-used is shredded into mulch. RCD Timber Products leads the industry in building quality remanufactured pallets with this viable lumber. Depending on the pallet size, there may be a need to use a combination of new and used lumber. Remanufactured pallets are available in any size or type, and can provide you with significant cost savings. Just as with new pallets, Vendor Managed Inventory programs are also available for remanufactured pallets.
