Massive Inventory — Wood & PlasticOur Environmental Impact
Every pallet we recycle makes a difference. Here's the impact we've made so far. Our mission goes beyond business — it's about preserving forests, reducing landfill waste, and building a circular economy for wood products in the heartland of America.
How It Works
From your first phone call to final delivery, we've streamlined every step to make working with pallets effortless. Whether you're buying, selling, or recycling, our six-step process ensures transparency, quality, and speed at every stage.
Contact Us
Reach out by phone, email, or our online form. Tell us what you need — whether that is buying pallets, selling surplus inventory, arranging pickup of discarded pallets, or requesting custom builds. We respond to every inquiry within one business day, and most quotes are ready in just a few hours.
On-Site Assessment
For bulk orders, our team visits your facility to evaluate your pallet needs, inspect surplus stock, and determine the best solution. We measure your dock space, assess your loading patterns, and note any special requirements such as heat-treated or export-grade pallets. This step is free and carries no obligation.
Custom Quote
Based on your needs and our assessment, we prepare a detailed, transparent quote with no hidden fees. Our pricing breaks down the cost per pallet, transportation fees, any treatment charges, and volume discounts. We also outline the timeline for delivery or pickup so you can plan your operations accordingly.
Processing & Quality Control
Once you approve the quote, we process your order immediately. Every pallet goes through a rigorous multi-point quality inspection: structural integrity, nail protrusion, board cracking, moisture content, and dimensional accuracy. Pallets that do not meet our grade standards are repaired or recycled — never sold as-is.
Delivery or Pickup
We coordinate logistics on your schedule. Our fleet covers the entire Wichita metropolitan area, with regular routes extending throughout south-central Kansas. For large orders, we arrange flatbed or enclosed trailer delivery. Need to drop off pallets at our yard? Our facility is open Monday through Friday with easy truck access and fast unloading.
Ongoing Partnership
Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. We offer recurring pickup schedules, automatic reorder programs, and dedicated account managers for high-volume clients. Many of our partners have been with us for over a decade because we consistently deliver quality, reliability, and fair pricing month after month.
What We Do
Comprehensive pallet solutions with sustainability at the core. From single-pallet purchases to enterprise-level supply chain management, we handle every aspect of the pallet lifecycle so you can focus on running your business.
Used Pallets Are the Smarter, Greener Choice
The pallet industry produces over 500 million new wood pallets each year in the United States alone. That represents millions of trees, enormous quantities of water, and significant carbon emissions from manufacturing and transportation. Choosing used pallets is one of the simplest ways any business can reduce its environmental footprint while saving money.
60-70% Cost Savings
Used pallets cost a fraction of new ones with the same load-bearing capacity. For businesses moving hundreds or thousands of pallets per month, these savings add up to tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Reduce Deforestation
Every reused pallet means one less tree cut down for lumber. A single standard pallet requires roughly 12 board feet of hardwood. Multiply that by the millions of pallets in circulation, and the preservation impact is enormous.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Manufacturing new pallets generates 5x more CO2 than reconditioning used ones. By choosing recycled pallets, you directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with lumber harvesting, sawmill processing, and new pallet assembly.
Immediate Availability
No waiting for manufacturing lead times. Our used pallets are inspected, graded, and ready to ship from our Wichita yard, often within the same day you order.
Proven Durability
Used pallets have already survived at least one trip through the supply chain, which means the wood has been stress-tested under real-world conditions. Weak boards have already cracked and been replaced during our reconditioning process.
Consistent Supply
We maintain a massive rolling inventory of used pallets sourced from distribution centers, manufacturers, and retailers across the region, ensuring you never face a supply shortage.

Pallet Materials Explained
Not all pallets are created equal. The material your pallet is made from affects its weight capacity, durability, cost, and suitability for different industries. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of every material we work with.
Southern Yellow Pine
The workhorse of the pallet industry. Southern Yellow Pine accounts for more than 40% of all wood pallets produced in the U.S. Its abundance, low cost, and acceptable strength make it ideal for single-use or light-duty applications.
Advantages
Considerations
Oak (Red & White)
Oak pallets are the gold standard for heavy loads and repeated use. Common in automotive, steel, and manufacturing applications where pallets carry thousands of pounds and must survive dozens of trips through the supply chain.
Advantages
Considerations
Poplar & Hardwood Mix
Poplar and mixed hardwood pallets offer a middle ground between softwood economy and hardwood performance. They are popular in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries where surface smoothness and moderate strength are important.
Advantages
Considerations
Plastic (HDPE/PP)
Plastic pallets are the preferred choice for pharmaceutical, food processing, and cleanroom environments. They do not harbor bacteria, cannot rot, and never need fumigation. Many companies use them in closed-loop systems where pallets are returned after each delivery.
Advantages
Considerations
Metal (Steel/Aluminum)
Metal pallets are used in extreme environments: steel mills, aerospace, military, and automated warehouse systems. Their precision dimensions and incredible strength make them essential for robotic handling and high-bay racking where consistency is critical.
Advantages
Considerations
Composite & Presswood
Presswood or composite pallets are manufactured by compressing wood chips, sawdust, and resin under extreme heat and pressure. They are especially popular for export because they are ISPM-15 exempt, eliminating the need for heat treatment or fumigation stamps.
Advantages

Our Process: From Receiving to Delivery
Transparency is a core value at Pallet Wichita. We want you to know exactly what happens to every pallet that passes through our facility. Here is a detailed look at each stage of our operation.
Receiving & Sorting
Pallets arrive at our facility from dozens of sources: manufacturing plants, distribution centers, retail stores, and independent sellers. Our receiving team unloads each shipment and immediately sorts pallets into categories based on size, material, and condition. We use a proprietary grading system that classifies pallets as Grade A (like-new), Grade B (good condition with minor cosmetic wear), Grade C (functional with visible wear), and Scrap (beyond economical repair).
Detailed Inspection
Every single pallet undergoes a hands-on inspection by a trained technician. We check for structural integrity, board thickness, stringer condition, nail protrusion, contamination (chemicals, food residue, pests), moisture content, and dimensional accuracy. Pallets that have been exposed to chemicals or hazardous materials are quarantined and disposed of according to EPA guidelines. We never sell a contaminated pallet.
Repair & Reconditioning
Pallets graded B and C enter our repair line. Skilled technicians replace cracked or broken deckboards, re-nail loose components using pneumatic nail guns, and reinforce weakened stringers with metal mending plates when needed. Our repair shop processes hundreds of pallets per day, and every repaired pallet must pass a second quality check before it moves to the next stage. We use kiln-dried lumber for all replacement boards to ensure dimensional stability.
Heat Treatment & Compliance
Pallets destined for international shipping enter our ISPM-15 certified heat treatment kilns. The core temperature of each pallet is raised to at least 56 degrees Celsius (132.8 degrees Fahrenheit) for a minimum of 30 continuous minutes. Temperature probes monitor the process in real time, and we maintain detailed logs for every treatment batch. After treatment, each pallet is branded with our official IPPC/ISPM-15 stamp, which is recognized by customs authorities worldwide.
Inventory Management
Finished pallets are organized in our yard by size, grade, and treatment status. We maintain a real-time inventory database so we always know exactly what is in stock. This system allows us to provide instant availability information when you call, and it enables us to forecast demand and ensure we carry adequate stock of the most popular sizes, especially the standard 48x40 GMA pallet that accounts for over 60% of all orders.
Order Fulfillment & Delivery
When your order comes in, our logistics team pulls the pallets, performs a final spot-check, and stages them for pickup or delivery. Our trucks run daily routes across the Wichita metro area, with regular service extending to Hutchinson, Newton, El Dorado, Augusta, Derby, Andover, and beyond. For customers outside our standard delivery zone, we arrange common carrier or freight shipping at competitive rates. Same-day and next-day delivery is available for most orders within a 50-mile radius.

Common Uses for Pallets
Pallets are far more than just shipping platforms. They serve a remarkable range of purposes across commercial, industrial, and creative applications. Here are some of the most common ways our pallets are put to work.
Warehousing & Storage
The primary use for pallets worldwide. They enable efficient stacking in warehouse racking systems, allow forklifts to move goods quickly, and keep products elevated off the floor to prevent moisture damage. Modern warehouses can store millions of dollars of inventory on pallets organized in high-bay racking systems reaching 40 feet or more.
Shipping & Freight
Pallets are the universal interface between products and transportation. Whether goods are loaded into containers, onto flatbed trucks, or into air freight holds, pallets standardize the handling process and dramatically reduce loading and unloading times. A truck that takes hours to load by hand can be loaded in minutes with palletized cargo.
Retail Display
Many retailers use clean, attractive pallets as in-store display platforms. Quarter pallets and half pallets are especially popular for end-cap displays in grocery stores, home improvement centers, and warehouse clubs. Products displayed on pallets send a signal of value and volume that drives impulse purchases.
DIY & Craft Projects
The DIY community has embraced pallet wood as a creative medium. From rustic wall art and picture frames to bookshelves, headboards, wine racks, and planter boxes, the character of weathered pallet wood adds a unique aesthetic that new lumber simply cannot replicate. We sell select pallets and individual boards to local makers and craftspeople.
Garden & Landscaping
Pallets make excellent raised garden beds, compost bins, vertical herb gardens, and landscape edging. Their modular nature means they can be reconfigured as your garden grows. Many community gardens in the Wichita area are built almost entirely from donated and recycled pallets, making urban farming accessible and affordable.
Furniture Building
Pallet furniture has grown from a DIY niche into a mainstream design trend. Coffee tables, dining tables, outdoor seating, daybeds, shoe racks, and even full patio sets can be built from reclaimed pallet wood. The rough-hewn texture and natural patina of used pallet boards give furniture pieces a distinctive character that pairs well with farmhouse, industrial, and bohemian interior styles.
Event & Festival Staging
Event planners and festival organizers use pallets to build stages, vendor booths, seating areas, and decorative installations. Their modularity allows for quick assembly and teardown, and their rustic look suits outdoor and farm-to-table event aesthetics perfectly.
Mulch & Biomass Fuel
Pallets that cannot be repaired are ground into wood chips and processed into landscape mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel pellets. This final stage of the lifecycle ensures that virtually no pallet material ends up in a landfill. Our grinding operation converts thousands of tons of scrap wood into useful products every year.
Export Crating
When products need more protection than a standard pallet provides, we build custom export crates using pallet-grade lumber. These crates are heat-treated for international compliance and can be designed with foam inserts, moisture barriers, and shock indicators for high-value or fragile shipments.
Our Products
From standard 48x40 to custom sizes, in wood, plastic, and more. We maintain one of the largest pallet inventories in south-central Kansas, ready for immediate pickup or delivery.
Pallet Standards & Regulations
The pallet industry is governed by multiple international and domestic standards that ensure safety, quality, and environmental protection. Understanding these standards helps you choose the right pallet for your application and avoid costly compliance issues.
ISPM-15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures)
ISPM-15 is the most important regulation for any business that ships goods internationally. Established by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), it requires that all wood packaging materials used in international trade be treated to eliminate pests that could damage ecosystems in the destination country. The two approved treatment methods are heat treatment (raising the core temperature to 56 degrees C for 30 minutes) and methyl bromide fumigation (though fumigation is being phased out in many countries). Treated pallets must bear the official IPPC stamp showing the treatment method, country code, and producer number. At Pallet Wichita, we are a certified heat treatment facility with our own IPPC mark.
GMA (Grocery Manufacturers Association) Standard
The GMA pallet, also known as the GMA/CHEP pallet, is the most common pallet size in North America: 48 inches by 40 inches. This standard was established by the grocery industry but has been adopted across virtually every sector. The GMA spec defines not just the dimensions but also the board layout, nail pattern, and minimum lumber thickness. When someone orders "standard pallets," they are almost always referring to GMA pallets. Our inventory is dominated by GMA-size pallets, and we stock them in multiple grades to accommodate different budget and quality requirements.
EPAL (European Pallet Association)
EPAL governs the EUR pallet system, the dominant pallet standard in Europe. The most common EPAL pallet measures 800mm by 1200mm (approximately 31.5 by 47.2 inches). EPAL pallets are built to extremely precise specifications and undergo regular quality audits. They operate in a pool system where pallets are exchanged between supply chain partners rather than discarded. While EPAL pallets are less common in the U.S. domestic market, we stock them for businesses that import from or export to Europe, and we can build custom pallets to EPAL specifications on request.
NWPCA (National Wooden Pallet & Container Association)
The NWPCA is the primary trade association for the wood packaging industry in the United States. Founded in 1947, it represents over 600 member companies including pallet manufacturers, recyclers, and suppliers. The NWPCA publishes the Uniform Standard for Wood Pallets, which provides design specifications for dozens of common pallet configurations. They also administer the Pallet Design System (PDS) software that engineers use to calculate load capacity and optimize pallet designs. As a responsible pallet company, we follow NWPCA best practices in our manufacturing, repair, and recycling operations.
Environmental Facts About Pallet Recycling
The pallet recycling industry is one of the most successful examples of circular economy in practice. Here are the numbers that prove it.
95% of all wood pallets in the United States are recycled at the end of their useful life, making pallets the single most recycled wood product in America. No other wood product even comes close to this recovery rate.
The U.S. pallet industry recovers and recycles approximately 508 million pallets per year, diverting nearly 3 billion board feet of lumber from landfills. That is enough wood to frame over 300,000 single-family homes annually.
Recycling a single standard 48x40 pallet saves roughly 3.5 cubic feet of landfill space. When you consider the half-billion pallets recycled each year, the landfill savings are staggering.
Manufacturing a new pallet requires approximately 12 board feet of lumber from a mature tree. By reusing pallets, we preserve forests that absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife.
The carbon footprint of a recycled pallet is approximately 80% lower than that of a new pallet. This accounts for the energy saved in not harvesting, transporting, sawing, and assembling new lumber.
Wood pallets at the end of their serviceable life can be ground into mulch, which helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature in landscaping and agricultural applications.
The pallet recycling industry in the U.S. employs over 45,000 people and generates more than $9 billion in annual economic activity, making it a significant contributor to local economies like Wichita.
A single pallet can be repaired and reused an average of 5-10 times before the wood is too deteriorated for structural use, extending the effective life of the original lumber by 10-20 years.
Biomass fuel produced from ground pallet wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. When burned for energy, it releases only the carbon dioxide that the tree absorbed during its lifetime, unlike fossil fuels.
Choosing recycled pallets over new ones reduces water consumption by approximately 60%. Sawmilling and lumber processing are water-intensive operations that recycling largely bypasses.
The average pallet travels over 500 miles during its lifetime, passing through multiple hands in the supply chain. Each reuse cycle avoids the full environmental cost of manufacturing a new pallet from scratch.
Kansas is home to more than 2 million acres of commercial timberland. By recycling pallets, we reduce harvesting pressure on these forests, helping to preserve the natural landscape and biodiversity of our state.
Kansas & Wichita: A Natural Logistics Hub
Wichita is far more than just another city on the Great Plains. It is a strategic logistics hub with geographic advantages that make it one of the most efficient distribution points in the continental United States. Located near the geographic center of the country, Wichita provides access to 85% of the U.S. population within a two-day truck drive.
The city's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing (Spirit AeroSystems, Textron Aviation, Airbus), food processing (Cargill, Koch Foods), agriculture, energy, and a growing logistics sector. All of these industries generate enormous demand for pallets — and enormous volumes of used pallets that need recycling.
Kansas sits at the crossroads of major interstate highways (I-35, I-70, I-135), multiple Class I railroads (BNSF, Union Pacific), and is served by Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport for air freight. This multimodal transportation infrastructure makes it easy and cost-effective to move pallets into, out of, and through the region.
Wichita by the Numbers
Areas We Serve
Our primary service area covers the entire Wichita metropolitan area and extends throughout south-central Kansas. We provide regular service to these communities and many more:
Pricing Transparency
We believe you deserve to understand exactly what you are paying for and why. Pallet pricing depends on several factors, and we are happy to explain each one so there are no surprises.
Pallet Grade
Grade A pallets (like-new condition) cost more than Grade B (good with cosmetic wear) or Grade C (functional with visible wear). The grade you need depends on your application — retail display demands Grade A, while warehousing often works fine with Grade B or C.
Material Type
Hardwood pallets cost more than softwood due to lumber pricing and durability differences. Plastic pallets have a higher upfront cost but may be more economical over their longer lifespan. We help you choose the most cost-effective material for your use case.
Size & Configuration
Standard 48x40 pallets are the most affordable because they are produced in the highest volume. Non-standard sizes, four-way entry configurations, and custom builds involve additional labor and materials that are reflected in pricing.
Order Volume
We offer significant volume discounts for large orders. A single pallet costs more per unit than a truckload. Our pricing tiers start at single-pallet rates and scale down through small lot (10-50), bulk (50-500), and truckload (500+) quantities.
Treatment Requirements
Heat treatment for ISPM-15 compliance adds a per-pallet charge to cover kiln operating costs, labor, and certification. If your pallets are staying domestic, you can skip this cost entirely.
Delivery Distance
Local delivery within the Wichita metro is included or charged at a flat rate. Deliveries beyond our standard zone are quoted based on distance and load size. We always present delivery costs separately from pallet costs so you can make informed decisions.
No Hidden Fees. Ever.
Every quote we provide includes a line-by-line breakdown of costs: pallet price, any treatment fees, delivery charges, and applicable taxes. We do not add fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or administrative costs after the fact. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Request a Free QuoteWhat Makes Us Different
There are other pallet companies. Here is why businesses across Kansas choose us — and keep choosing us year after year.
Sustainability Is Not a Marketing Slogan
For us, sustainability is not a feel-good tagline printed on a brochure. It is the foundation of our entire business model. We track every pallet that enters and leaves our facility, measure our diversion rate from landfills (currently above 97%), and continuously invest in more efficient recycling processes. We publish our environmental impact numbers openly because we believe transparency drives accountability.
Locally Owned, Locally Operated
We are not a franchise, a branch office, or a subsidiary of a national chain. We are a Wichita business owned and operated by people who live in this community. When you call us, you talk to someone who knows the area, understands local business needs, and cares about maintaining the relationships that sustain a small company. Your dollars stay in the local economy.
Rigorous Quality Control
We inspect every pallet before it leaves our yard. Not a sample. Not a percentage. Every single one. Our multi-point inspection process checks structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, nail protrusion, surface contamination, and moisture content. If a pallet does not meet the grade we promised, it does not ship. This commitment to quality means fewer returns, fewer product damage claims, and more confidence in your supply chain.
Massive Inventory, Fast Turnaround
We maintain one of the largest pallet inventories in south-central Kansas. When you need pallets, we rarely have to say "we will have those next week." Most standard orders can be filled same-day from existing stock. For custom orders, our typical turnaround is 3-5 business days from approval to delivery. Speed matters in logistics, and we treat your timeline with the urgency it deserves.
Flexible Service Options
No two businesses have exactly the same pallet needs. That is why we offer a full menu of service options: one-time purchases, recurring delivery schedules, on-call pickup, pallet exchange programs, vendor-managed inventory, and custom consulting. We adapt our service model to fit your operations, not the other way around. Whether you need 10 pallets once a year or 10,000 pallets every month, we have a program that works.
Deep Industry Knowledge
With over 15 years in the pallet business, we have seen it all. We understand the specific pallet requirements for food processing, aerospace, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, and construction. We know which pallet configurations work best in different racking systems, which materials meet which regulatory standards, and which grades deliver the best value for each application. This expertise saves you time and money.
Transparent Communication
We return every call. We answer every email. We provide written quotes with full cost breakdowns. We notify you proactively if there is any change to your order or delivery schedule. In an industry where some operators are difficult to reach and slow to respond, we pride ourselves on being easy to work with and reliably communicative at every stage of the process.
Complete End-to-End Service
Most pallet companies do one thing — sell pallets. We do everything: buy, sell, repair, recycle, heat-treat, custom-build, transport, and consult. This means you deal with a single vendor for all your pallet needs instead of juggling multiple suppliers, transporters, and recyclers. One point of contact, one invoice, one relationship. It simplifies your procurement and saves you administrative time and overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often. If your question is not listed here, do not hesitate to contact us directly.
What sizes of pallets do you carry?
We stock a wide range of sizes, with the standard 48x40 inch GMA pallet being our most popular. We also carry 42x42 (drum pallets), 48x48, 36x36, 48x45, and many other sizes. If we do not have your size in stock, we can custom-build it within 3-5 business days.
How much do used pallets cost?
Used pallet pricing depends on size, grade, quantity, and current market conditions. Standard 48x40 Grade B pallets typically range from $4-$8 each for bulk orders. Grade A pallets and specialty sizes cost more. Contact us for a specific quote based on your needs and volume.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes. We operate our own delivery fleet and provide service throughout the Wichita metropolitan area and surrounding communities. We also arrange freight shipping for orders outside our standard delivery zone. Delivery fees depend on distance and load size, and we always quote them separately so you know exactly what you are paying.
Can you pick up my old pallets?
Absolutely. We buy used pallets and offer regular pickup service. If you generate large volumes of used pallets, we can set up a recurring pickup schedule so they never accumulate on your dock. We also accept drop-offs at our yard during business hours.
What is ISPM-15 and do I need it?
ISPM-15 is an international regulation that requires wood packaging materials used in international trade to be heat-treated or fumigated to prevent pest transmission. If you are shipping products to another country, you almost certainly need ISPM-15 compliant pallets. We are a certified heat treatment facility and can treat pallets to meet this standard.
How quickly can you fill an order?
Most standard orders can be filled same-day from our existing inventory. Custom pallets and large bulk orders typically take 3-5 business days. If you have an urgent need, call us directly and we will do everything we can to accommodate rush requests.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes. We offer tiered pricing based on order volume. The more pallets you order, the lower your per-unit cost. We also offer additional discounts for customers who commit to recurring orders or annual contracts. Contact us for details on our volume pricing programs.
What happens to pallets that cannot be repaired?
Pallets that are beyond economical repair are dismantled and the wood is ground into chips. These chips are then processed into landscape mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel pellets. We are committed to zero-waste operations, and virtually no wood that enters our facility ends up in a landfill.
What Our Customers Say
Choosing used pallets from Pallet Wichita saved us thousands per year while aligning with our corporate sustainability goals. Their quality control is outstanding — every pallet arrives in the condition promised.
We switched to Pallet Wichita after our previous supplier kept delivering inconsistent quality. The difference was immediate. Consistent dimensions, solid construction, and they actually answer the phone when we call.
Their ISPM-15 heat treatment service saved us from a compliance nightmare. We were about to lose a major international shipment because our previous pallets were not treated. Pallet Wichita turned around 200 heat-treated pallets in 48 hours.
Common Pallet Sizes
Not sure what size pallet you need? Here is a reference guide to the most common pallet dimensions used in North America, along with their typical applications.
Grocery, retail, general warehouse. The most common pallet in North America, accounting for approximately 30% of all new pallets produced.
Telecommunications, paint, chemical drums. Square design accommodates round containers and allows four-way entry for forklift access.
Drums, barrels, and large square containers. Common in the chemical, petroleum, and paper industries.
Automotive parts and assembly components. Slightly wider than GMA standard to accommodate the dimensions common in auto manufacturing.
Beverages, small goods, and confined spaces. Compact size works well in smaller delivery trucks and tight warehouse aisles.
Shrink-wrapped goods, canned beverages, and packaged products. Provides good stability for narrow product footprints.
Our Commitment to Wichita & Beyond
We started this business because we saw an opportunity to do well by doing good. Every pallet we recycle is a pallet that does not end up in a landfill. Every used pallet we sell is a tree that does not need to be cut down. Every local job we create is an investment in the Wichita community that has supported us from day one.
As we grow, we remain committed to the values that got us here: honesty, quality, environmental responsibility, and genuine customer service. We are not the biggest pallet company in America, and we do not want to be. We want to be the best pallet company for our customers and our community.
Thank you for considering Pallet Wichita. Whether you need a single pallet or a truckload, we would love the opportunity to earn your business and show you why so many Kansas companies trust us with their pallet needs.
