Is your business holding onto unused or broken pallets? Recover some of their value by selling them onto a pallet supplier such as Plain Pallets. We buy second hand pallets.
Clear some floor space in your warehouse or factory, reduce OH&S risk and earn cash all at once. You could also use this cash to purchase refurbished wooden pallets, or upgrade to modern plastic pallets.
How much can you sell second hand pallets for?
Used pallets typically sell for between $1 and $10 each
The price of used pallets depends on many factors such as their size, condition, volume and whether the material is plastic or wood.
A pallet that is still in usable condition is worth more than a pallet that needs to be refurbished. Someone who is buying pallets to make furniture might be more interested in aesthetics but will likely still pay more for pallets that aren't badly damaged.
