What About Pallet Recycling?
Wood pallets are excellent at transporting heavy goods that are too heavy for people to load or unload by hand. But once they’ve done their job, they aren’t useful for anything besides fueling huge bonfires or perhaps some creative, rustic-looking panelling or furniture. These used skids also tend to take up a lot of space in garages, driveways, and yards, and are an eyesore for your yard or business. Plus, being made of wood, pallets are an extremely attractive home for bugs, beetles, and termites which you don’t want to set up shelter near your house, garage, or business.
Don’t let your old pallets lay around as targets for stubbed toes and generations of bugs. Instead, call The Junk Box and have your pallets removed, along with any other junk, old appliances, yard waste, or construction debris you’ve on your property. Plus, pallets are completely recyclable so we make sure to dispose of them in the most environmentally sound way possible.
Pallet Pickup for Businesses
We know that pallets can quickly accumulate and occupy very important space around your business. This can lead to inefficiencies in your loading or unloading of products, taking up parking space and creating an eyesore for customers. Depending on the type of business, they can add up quickly and you need the real estate in your warehouse or business property. No problem!

A Recycling Success Story
Because pallets are made almost entirely of wood, they’re one of the most recyclable items period. Pallets that are in rough shape are recyclable after a little fixing and refurbishing with special equipment which can make many of them usable again. Even if a pallet is beyond repair, they are still completely recyclable. These ‘end of life’ pallets are fed through a wood-chipper, and from there can be made into all kinds of products, including:
- Wood chips for trails and parks
- Paper and cardboard products
- Wood furniture
- Beds for livestock and farm animals
- Biofuel
The extreme recyclability of pallets means you can feel good about finally disposing of yours. Your pallets will go on to live another life as refurbished pallet, a chip trail, or a beautiful piece of woodwork.
