Grade A Pallets

Our Grade A pallets have been professionally refurbished to near-original condition, offering exceptional value for businesses that demand quality without paying new pallet prices. These pallets require no stringer repairs and show minimal wear and damage. You'll find clean, uniform boards with no significant cracks, zero broken stringers, and no visible plugs or repairs. Grade A pallets are expected to provide 12-15 uses, making them ideal for multiple shipping cycles. Pricing typically ranges from $10-12 per pallet depending on current market conditions and order volume.

Grade B Pallets

Grade B pallets deliver functional reliability at 20-30% savings compared to Grade A options. While these pallets show visible wear and may have single stringer damage that's been properly repaired, they remain structurally sound and perfect for cost-conscious applications. You can expect 6-8 uses from Grade B pallets, and their specifications still meet standard industry requirements. These are excellent choices for one-way shipping, internal warehouse use, or situations where appearance is secondary to function.

GMA 48×40 Standard Pallets

Our most popular size, the standard GMA 48×40 pallet, features four-way forklift entry for maximum handling flexibility. Built with minimum 1/2-inch deck boards and engineered for durability, these pallets meet stringent load requirements with a minimum 2,500-pound dynamic load capacity and 5,500-pound static capacity. Every GMA pallet includes ISPM-15 heat treatment certification, making them ready for international shipping compliance. These industry-standard dimensions ensure compatibility with virtually all warehouse racking, truck trailers, and material handling equipment.

Cost-Effective Solution

Used pallets deliver immediate cost savings of 30-50% compared to new pallets, allowing you to reduce your initial investment while maintaining the structural quality your operations demand. Because recycling wood is far cheaper than processing new materials from scratch, these savings get passed directly to you. The economic advantage scales significantly with bulk orders of 50 or more pallets, where volume discounts provide even greater value. Unlike the volatile new pallet market where prices fluctuate with lumber costs, used pallets offer more predictable and stable pricing, helping you budget accurately and control operational expenses.

Environmental Sustainability

Choosing used pallets makes a measurable environmental impact. By selecting recycled pallets, you reduce deforestation demand by lowering the need for new wood materials. This choice diverts waste from landfills, with the pallet industry preventing over 10 million tons of waste annually from entering our waste stream. Used pallets generate significantly lower carbon emissions compared to new pallet production, which requires energy-intensive harvesting, milling, and manufacturing processes. Supporting this circular economy model through reuse is powerful: wood pallets can be reused up to 15 times in their lifecycles, and collectively, the industry conserves 49 million trees annually across North America.

Same Quality Standards

Our used pallets undergo thorough inspection and professional refurbishment to meet the same industry standards as new pallets. Our professional grading system ensures reliability you can count on, delivering the same structural integrity as new pallets for most applications. These pallets are suitable for all major industries including food and beverage, manufacturing, and retail distribution. Every pallet is heat-treated to meet ISPM-15 requirements for international compliance, ensuring your shipments meet global standards without compromise.

Immediate Availability

One of the greatest advantages of used pallets is immediate availability from our large existing inventory. There are no manufacturing delays or wait times - your pallets are ready when you need them. With over 200 locations across North America and growing, the pallet recycling industry provides unmatched access to inventory. At LA Pallet Co, we offer same-day to 48-hour delivery throughout Southern California, ensuring your operations never face downtime due to pallet shortages.

Transparent Pricing Structure

At LA Pallet Co, we believe in complete pricing transparency with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our volume discounts start at just 50 pallets, making bulk savings accessible to businesses of all sizes. For large orders of 400 or more pallets, we offer free pickup service to further reduce your costs. Truckload pricing delivers the best value, with full loads (approximately 616 pallets per standard truck) priced between $8-12 per pallet depending on grade and specifications. Our fair market rates are determined by four key factors: quantity ordered, pallet condition and grade, size and specifications, and your delivery location. Regional pricing may vary 20-40% based on transportation costs and local market conditions, but we're always competitive with the best rates in Southern California.

Payment Options

We offer flexible payment terms designed to work with your business operations. Established accounts qualify for Net 30 terms, giving you time to process invoices through your normal cycles. If you're selling pallets to us, we provide immediate payment so you get cash in hand quickly. For small quantity purchases, we accept COD (cash on delivery) for your convenience. Bulk sellers receive prompt payment within 7-14 days of pickup. For large operations with ongoing needs, we're happy to negotiate flexible terms that support your business relationship with us.

Our pallets maintain compatibility with retail warehouse standards and specifications used by major retailers nationwide. The quick turnover capabilities we provide ensure your distribution center operations maintain their pace without pallet-related delays or complications.

Shipping internationally requires strict compliance with phytosanitary regulations. Every pallet we supply for international shipping includes ISPM-15 heat treatment certification, the global standard for wood packaging materials. We have export capability to over 70 countries, with proper wheat stamp marking that meets international compliance requirements. This proper treatment prevents pest spread across borders, protecting global agriculture while ensuring your shipments clear customs without issues.

Environmental Impact Statistics

LA Pallet Co is proud to be part of an industry making a significant environmental difference. Collectively, pallet recycling conserves 49 million trees annually across North America, preventing the harvest of valuable forest resources. We divert over 10 million tons of waste from landfills each year, giving wood materials multiple lives instead of a single use. This recycling process prevents 12 million tons of CO2 emissions compared to virgin pallet production. An impressive 95% of wood pallets are ultimately recycled, with individual pallets being reused up to 15 times before being converted to other products like mulch or biomass fuel. These aren't just statistics - they represent real environmental impact from every pallet transaction.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Choosing recycled pallets generates significantly lower emissions compared to new pallet production, which requires energy-intensive logging, transportation of raw logs, milling operations, and manufacturing. We've implemented reduced transportation emissions through route optimization and efficient logistics planning. Our backhaul programs reduce empty truck miles by up to 55%, cutting fuel consumption and emissions substantially. Local sourcing decreases transport distances, further minimizing our carbon footprint. For customers committed to sustainability, we offer net-zero action plans that help offset remaining emissions through verified carbon reduction projects.

Waste Diversion

Research indicates that 90% of wood packaging materials are pallets, making pallet recycling one of the most impactful waste reduction strategies available. The industry has achieved remarkable progress: in 1998, approximately 178 million pallets entered landfills annually, but by 2016, this number had dropped to just 25 million - a reduction of over 85%. This success demonstrates the effectiveness of the circular economy model in pallet management. By-products from pallet processing don't go to waste either - they're converted into valuable materials including sawdust for animal bedding, wood chips for landscaping, and mulch for gardens. Our zero waste disposal approach ensures every piece of wood serves a purpose.

Certifications

LA Pallet Co maintains important environmental and industry certifications that verify our commitment to responsible practices. We hold Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Chain-of-Custody certification, ensuring wood materials come from responsibly managed forests. Our participation in the SmartWay Transport Partnership demonstrates our commitment to fuel efficiency and emissions reduction in transportation. Every international pallet carries ISPM-15 heat treatment compliance certification, meeting global phytosanitary requirements. We meet Consumer Brands Association (CBA) requirements for pallet quality and safety, and we welcome third-party environmental verification to provide independent confirmation of our environmental claims and practices.
