How Do Businesses Get Rid of Old Pallets?

Some pallets go back to the supplier or a pallet company, but broken, mixed or one-off pallets usually don't. They take up floor space, collect leaves and dirt, and are awkward to move without a van. Booking a licensed waste carrier gets them out in one visit.

Here the pallets were already together in one corner on the ground floor, so there was nothing to carry through the building. With the van in the facility's own car park, one operator could carry them out and stack them flat in the van without worrying about street parking.

What Happens to Wooden Pallets After Collection?

The load was collected within the London Borough of Camden and taken to our usual licensed waste transfer station, where the pallets were recycled. A digital Waste Transfer Note was issued under our Environment Agency registration CBDU418527 (Carrier Dealer – Upper Tier). Businesses must keep their waste transfer notes, so the storage facility has a record that the pallets were disposed of legally.

How Long Does a Pallet Collection Take?

About 16 minutes on this job. The before photo was taken at 5:11pm and the after photo at 5:27pm.
