Pallet Removal & Disposal FAQs
How do I get rid of pallets near me?
As most pallets are too wide to transport in a car, many are left wondering how to efficiently dispose of pallets. To prevent pallets from piling up and taking over your loading dock areas and storage rooms we recommend different methods of removal to reclaim your space.
- Sell Pallets: Artisans and builders enjoy creating furniture or art pieces out of used pallets. Place ads online to get the word out and establish a new customer base that would be eager to buy your pallets.
- Donate Pallets: Contact local charity organizations that might be interested in reusing your gently worn pallets. Pallets can be transformed into home DIY projects for those in need.
- Recycle Pallets: Pallets may have sharp edges, exposed screws, or broken pieces that may make them unsafe to carry and transport to a pallet recycler yourself. To avoid this issue, hire a professional pallet removal service like TurboHaul which already has pre-established relationships with pallet recyclers.
- Contact the Shipper: If you have regularly scheduled shipments to your residence or business, contact the shipper and ask them to take their pallets back. The shipper may be open to accommodating this request as it is cost-effective. It simply requires a little more work on the receiver’s end to be readily available to clear the pallet with a forklift or jacking tool so that the shipper can be on their way.
- Leave Out for Free: Let your trash be someone else’s treasure! For a hassle-free option, simply put a free sign out on your pallet that states it is free for the public to take.
What are your pallet removal prices?
TurboHaul customizes our prices to fit your exact needs, which is why we wouldn’t charge the same price to remove a single pallet as we would to remove hundreds of pallets from a 25,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Our prices factor in the quantity, removal type, and ability to access the location. Visit our pricing page for more information.
How are pallets dismantled and recycled?
Pallets can be recycled in a few different ways. Vendors can collect used pallets and reuse them or businesses or institutions can send gently used pallets to pallet recycling centers where they will be repaired and brought back into circulation.
Any damaged pallets or oddly-shaped pallets that can’t be reused are brought to recycling centers where the wooden materials are converted into usable mulch to enhance landscaping and enrich the soil in gardens. To process the mulch, large machines grind wooden pallets into pieces, then magnets are deployed to remove any metal or leftover screws. This mulch can be dyed in a variety of colors like brown, black, and red—plus, it’s environmentally friendly! At TurboHaul, we bring our wooden pallet removal materials to facilities that either restore pallets or recycle them into mulch. For more information, visit our FAQ page.

What is the size of a standard pallet?
The standard size of a pallet in the United States is 48 inches by 40 inches. However, pallet sizes can vary depending on the industry and country.
What can you do with a broken pallet?
Broken pallets can be repaired or broken down for DIY projects such as furniture, garden planters, or art pieces. If not salvageable, they can be recycled into wood chips or used as kindling for fires.
Can you shred pallets?
