Why Recycle Pallets?

Wooden pallets are 100% recyclable. Instead of sending damaged pallets to landfills, recycling turns them into useful products like mulch, animal bedding, and fuel.

Columbus Pallets is committed to sustainability. We ensure that every pallet we receive is either repaired and reused, or responsibly recycled.

By choosing our recycling service, you're making an environmentally responsible choice that benefits your business and the planet.
