Turn Unused Pallets into Value
Milwaukee Pallets USA is a referral service. If your business in Milwaukee or southeastern Wisconsin has surplus pallets, from inbound shipments, a warehouse clear-out or downsizing, send us a request and we pass it to partner suppliers in our network that buy used pallets. Availability depends on partner suppliers.
The process is simple. Tell us the quantity, sizes, condition and location of your pallets, and photos help if you have them. A partner supplier follows up with an offer and arranges pickup. The supplier usually confirms the count and condition when they collect the pallets.
Pallets in many conditions can have value. Like-new pallets are the most sought after, and standard used pallets with minor wear can be resold. Damaged pallets may still be accepted for repair or recycling, where partner suppliers can grind unrepairable wood into mulch or other products. Pallets contaminated with hazardous materials or severely rotted wood are generally not accepted.
Offers are by quote from partner suppliers and depend on condition, size, quantity, construction and current demand. If your business generates pallets regularly, ask about recurring pickups in your request.

Some partner suppliers buy custom sizes, block pallets, and plastic pallets. Demand for unusual sizes varies, so describe them in your request.

6 Tips to Get More for Your Pallets
Simple steps that can improve the offers you receive
1. Sort by Condition
Separate pallets into condition groups before pickup. Pre-sorting speeds up evaluation and helps the supplier price each group accurately.
2. Accumulate Volume
Larger loads are generally easier and more worthwhile to collect. If you receive pallets steadily, consider scheduled pickups.
3. Keep Pallets Dry
Store pallets under a roof or covered with tarps. Moisture causes mold, rot and warping, which lowers value.
4. Remove Non-Pallet Materials
Clear strapping, plastic wrap, and cardboard before pickup. Clean loads are easier to accept and evaluate.
5. Provide Accurate Information
Send clear photos and honest condition descriptions. Accurate details mean fewer surprises when the supplier inspects the pallets.
6. Separate Heat-Treated Pallets
ISPM 15 stamped pallets are often in demand for export. Keep them apart from regular pallets so they are easy to identify.
