Used Pallets

Used pallets are previously circulated pallets that are sorted, repaired and graded for reuse. They cost less than new pallets and support sustainability while still delivering consistent strength and reliability.

Used pallets extend the lifecycle of materials by re-entering the supply chain after their first use. Millwood inspects each pallet to ensure industry compliance and repairs or reinforces where needed. This process lowers costs, reduces landfill waste and provides dependable alternatives for shipping, warehousing or distribution centers. Unlike brand-new pallets, used pallets may show wear, mending plates or companion stringers, but they are graded (1A, 1, 2) to fit specific supply chain requirements with confidence.

Millwood offers three main grades of used GMA pallets: Grade 1A, Grade 1 and Grade 2. Each grade balances durability, repair history and cost.

Grade 1A pallets are lightly used with minimal repairs and no mending plates, ideal for customers who need a near-new solution at a lower price. Grade 1 pallets are clean and structurally sound but may include mending plates. Grade 2 pallets are more heavily repaired, often with companion stringers, and provide the most budget-friendly option. By offering multiple grades, Millwood ensures customers can select the right mix of performance and price for their operations.

Yes, Millwood repairs used pallets and also builds remanufactured pallets from recycled lumber. Both options extend service life and reduce waste.

Used pallet repair involves inspecting, grading and restoring pallets to ensure safe and reliable performance in their next service cycle. For applications requiring non-standard sizes, remanufactured pallets are built entirely from recycled wood components. These pallets are ideal for odd dimensions or unique applications where standard used sizes are unavailable. Repair and remanufacturing support sustainability goals while maintaining cost efficiency, allowing businesses to balance performance, availability and environmental responsibility in their supply chain.

Combo pallets are built from a mix of new and used lumber. They offer a balance of strength, reliability and cost savings.

Customers choose combo pallets when they need more durability than used pallets but want to avoid the higher expense of fully new builds. The integration of new components increases load capacity and consistency, while recycled lumber helps reduce cost and environmental impact. Combo pallets are particularly useful in industries with heavy shipping demands, automated warehouses or export requirements where reliability is essential but budgets must be managed. They deliver strong performance while still supporting sustainability objectives.

Millwood maintains a nationwide network with truckload quantities of used pallets, ensuring fast availability and delivery.

With over 45 million pallets sorted and repaired annually, Millwood has the scale to meet urgent and ongoing pallet needs across the U.S. Multiple locations allow for rapid shipment or pickup of common sizes and grades. Businesses can count on consistent supply whether they need Grade 1A for higher-value loads or Grade 2 for budget-focused operations. Millwood’s logistics team works with customers to match supply chain timelines, providing a reliable and cost-effective pallet flow without delays.
