As pallet buyers, Direct Supply can purchase your surplus or no longer needed wood or plastic pallets. As one of the leading pallet suppliers in the area, we are actively looking to increase our used pallet inventory to help our customers affordably fulfill their shipping needs. We can help you recycle your used pallets and put them to good use so you can increase the efficiency of your space.

How Our Pallet Recycling Process Works:

1. Direct Supply will buy back your used wood or plastic pallets.
2. Call us (630-345-3913) or fill out the contact form below with details in order to get a quote. Be ready to share how many pallets you’re looking to sell, if they are wooden pallets or plastic, the condition of the pallets, their size, your location, as well as any other pertinent information. This information will help Direct Supply provide an accurate estimate of how much those pallets are worth and what price will be fair for them. We will buy back most common pallet sizes, as well as odd sizes and custom pallets.
3. If your company is located in our service area, Direct Supply offers a dropped trailer program. We will drop trailers at your business and you can load the scrap pallets into the trailer for delivery to Direct Supply. By coming to you, we make it even easier for you to get rid of those unwanted pallets!
4. After we receive your old pallets, they are thoroughly inspected and reconditioned, repairing or replacing any broken or unstable components.
5. They are then made available for sale through our used pallet program!

Clear out space

Perhaps you receive regular product shipments on pallets and you’ve accumulated a stockpile of them that are starting to crowd your warehouse. Holding onto them isn’t doing your company any favors, especially since you could be using that space for something that helps your business bring in more revenue.

Safety concerns

Not only are they taking up space, they may begin to rot and breakdown, exposing rusty nails and splintered wood. This makes old, unused pallets not only a physical hazard, but a potential health hazard as well.

Environmentally friendly

Many consumers are excited to work with businesses that make the effort to “go green.” As one of the “Three R’s of Recycling” (reduce, reuse, recycle), selling your used pallets back to a pallet buyer allows others to reuse that pallet without requiring additional forestry resources. Let your customers know that your company is helping the environment by taking part in a sustainable pallet recycling program.

Is Pallet Recycling Free?

Yes, pallet recycling is free. If you are getting rid of pallets that can be refurbished and reused, we’ll even pay you for them. However, certain pallets made from non-wood materials that have a more involved recycling process, you may be charged a disposal fee.
