Payment depends on pallet quality, quantity, and type. Standard wooden pallets in good condition typically generate payment, while damaged or non-standard pallets might only qualify for free removal rather than payment.The math works like this: if you have 200 qualifying pallets monthly, you could see $600-1,600 in additional income based on current market rates of $3-8 per pallet. Even if only half your pallets qualify for payment, that’s still significant revenue from what was previously a disposal cost.Our payment timing varies by situation. We sometimes pay on pickup, other times within a few days of collection. The key is understanding upfront what qualifies for payment versus free removal, so you can set proper expectations and plan accordingly.
