Pallet Disposal and Recycling Solutions
Whether you have a few pallets or over a hundred, Dimension provides a pallet disposal solution that makes sense for your operation. We take wooden pallets, plastic pallets, and metal pallets — standard or oversized, good condition or broken — and bring them to the most sustainable disposal sites available in your area, so as many as possible are reused or recycled rather than landfilled.
Pallet pricing is driven by volume, material, size, and condition. Wood and plastic pallets are processed differently, and the effort required to recycle or repurpose them is what shapes the price. At warehouse volume our per-pallet rate starts under $1 per piece, with bundle and subscription plans bringing it down further; smaller one-off pickups are quoted against a job minimum of around $79, so a handful of pallets prices as a single small job rather than per unit.
Trusted to dispose of and recycle pallets by businesses, state and local governments across the country — including some of the largest organizations in the United States. Get started by describing your pallets for an instant quote on smaller orders; for larger or recurring warehouse volume, a specialist will come back to you within one business day.

Our Pallet Disposal Solution
- Recycling Beats Landfill on Price We ship old pallets to recycling facilities rather than to landfill. Because pallets can be reused, repaired, or broken down into recoverable wood, those facilities usually charge less than landfill tipping does — so the sustainable route is also the cheaper one. That difference is what lets per-pallet pricing drop below a dollar at volume.
- Every Pallet Type, Any Condition Wooden pallets, plastic pallets, and metal pallets are all handled, along with skids, crates, and the packaging that comes with them. Condition doesn't disqualify anything: pallets in good shape go toward reuse and repair, and broken ones are chipped or shredded into recoverable material. Standard, euro, and oversized footprints are all fine — tell us the type, size, and rough condition when you book.
- Nationwide Coverage We serve every zip code in the U.S. and can schedule pickups from 8 AM to 8 PM local time, seven days a week. For businesses running multiple sites, that means one agreement and one point of contact across every warehouse, store, and distribution center instead of separate arrangements with a local hauler in each market.
- One Pallet or an Entire Warehouse Dimension works to whatever scale your pallet problem is. A single wooden pallet left over from a delivery, a corner of the dock that's accumulated fifty, or a recurring weekly collection of hundreds from an active distribution center are all handled through the same request — one-time haul or standing schedule, your choice.
Benefits of Recycling Old Used Pallets
- Cost Reduction Throwing pallets into landfill is expensive compared with eco-friendly alternatives, and the cost scales badly as volume grows. Dimension works with disposal sites that recycle pallets, which keeps your disposal spend down while removing the labor of dealing with them yourself.
- Free Up Your Warehouse Space Space occupied by stacks of empty pallets is space you can't use for inventory, staging, or safe movement around the dock. Tall unstable stacks are also a genuine safety and fire-code concern. Clearing them on a schedule keeps the floor working for you instead of storing waste.
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Pallets in good condition can often be reused directly or repaired for another service life. Old and broken pallets are broken down into recyclable material that gets repurposed as mulch, animal bedding, landscaping material, or biomass fuel. Either way the wood stays in use, and your diversion report documents it.
- Pallet Recycling Near Me The easiest way to recycle your pallets is to hand it to a company that specializes in pallet removal rather than sourcing a local recycler, arranging transport, and hoping they take your pallet type. Dimension's nationwide network handles the retrieval, loading, and shipping — book online and tell us how we can help.
Case Studies
Floor & Decor, one of our largest clients, requires regular wooden pallet removal across their stores. Each week we efficiently extract hundreds of pallets from their locations, keeping their warehouse space clean and ready for incoming inventory rather than consumed by stacks of empties. Our dedicated providers take charge of the retrieval, loading, and shipping of those pallets to nearby recyclers.
At the recycler, pallets in good condition are prepared for reuse and put back into circulation, while older and damaged ones are properly recycled into recoverable wood material. Through this process we reduce Floor & Decor's carbon footprint by diverting recyclable wood waste away from landfill — and keep their warehouses pallet-free on a schedule that fits how their stores actually operate.
What Does Pallet Removal With Dimension Look Like?
- Scheduling: Tell us how many pallets you have, what they're made of, and their approximate size and condition. Our team gathers what's needed for your specific site — dock access, forklift availability, recurring or one-time — and operations handles the logistical scheduling. Book at least three days ahead for a standard pickup.
- Removal: Dimension's white-glove network of transportation partners coordinates with your on-site personnel to arrive, load the trucks, and handle shipping the pallets to one of our partner recycling or disposal sites. Your staff doesn't need to move, stage, or break down anything.
- Diversion: Through our partners and recyclers we redistribute the pallets: those in good condition are repurposed or reused, and broken ones are recycled so they're diverted from landfill. You receive a waste diversion report showing where your pallets ended up and how much wood was kept out of disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you throw pallets away?
You can discard old pallets, but because they're almost always recyclable there are more environmentally friendly — and usually cheaper — alternatives. Recycling pallets keeps a substantial volume of wood out of landfill, and landfill tipping fees for bulky wood waste tend to exceed what a recycler charges to take the same material.
If you don't have the time, don't want to handle the transport, or need to recycle pallets in bulk, Dimension can take it off your hands. We offer residential, commercial, and industrial junk and waste removal covering all types of pallets, skids, boxes, cardboard, old packaging, and other containers — often on the same pickup.
How do you properly dispose of pallets?
There are several good routes for unwanted pallets. Wood pallets can be reused as-is, repaired for another service life, or broken down at a recycler to create landscaping and mulch material. Many recycling facilities can also shred old plastic pallets for reprocessing, and metal pallets go into standard scrap metal recovery.
If sorting that out yourself isn't practical, request a quote for your specific volume. As a nationwide company we offer fast, affordable pallet removal for homes and businesses, disposing of them in the most eco-friendly way available in your area.
What types of pallets do you take?
We handle every kind of pallet: wood, plastic, and metal, in standard, euro, and oversized footprints, in any condition from reusable to badly broken. Skids, crates, and associated packaging can go on the same pickup.
Whatever the type, we make sure it reaches a recycler that will sustainably dispose of the pallets if they can't be reused. Tell us the material, approximate size, and condition when you book — those three details are what determine both the handling route and your price.
How do you reuse pallets?
A wooden or plastic pallet in good condition can generally go straight back into circulation and be reused as it is. Even a pallet in poor condition is often repairable — replacing a few deck boards or stringers is routine at a pallet recycler and puts the unit back into service.
If a broken pallet can't be repaired, it's still recyclable and gets broken down into recoverable material. Dimension helps source disposal sites that reuse pallets wherever they exist near you, which reduces the overall cost of disposal because a reusable pallet has value the recycler is willing to account for.
How much does pallet disposal cost?
Pallet disposal costs are influenced by the material, size, and condition of the pallets, plus how many you have and how accessible they are. Wood and plastic pallets require different processing, and the effort to recycle or repurpose them is factored into the price.
At warehouse volume, our per-pallet rate starts under $1 per piece, and bundle or subscription plans reduce it further for recurring collections. Smaller pickups are quoted against a job minimum of around $79 — so a dozen pallets prices as one small job rather than twelve individual units. Describe your pallets for an instant quote on smaller orders; larger and recurring warehouse volume gets a specialist quote within one business day.
What is the process of pallet recycling?
Pallet recycling is simpler than it sounds. Pallets are made from wood, metal, or plastic, all of which break down and get repurposed. A wood pallet counts as clean wood, so it can be used as scrap material or run through a wood chipper for animal bedding, mulch, landscaping material, or fuel for wood-burning stoves and boilers.
Plastic and metal pallets are recyclable too, though acceptance varies — it's worth checking with your local recycler whether they take your specific type before hauling anything there yourself. If they don't, an eco-friendly removal company like Dimension will find a site that does and make sure your pallets are disposed of in the most environmentally responsible way available.
