What we collect
Wooden pallets and broken pallets
We collect most types of wooden pallets, including standard UK sizes and Euro pallets in a range of grades and conditions. If you have mixed stacks containing good, used and damaged pallets, we can usually take them all in a single collection.
Broken or damaged wooden pallets can often be recycled or stripped for parts, so do not assume they must go to landfill. Our team will separate reusable wood from non‑recyclable material and send as much as possible into reprocessing and recycling streams.
Euro pallets, plastic pallets and scrap loads
Alongside standard wooden pallets, we also collect:
- Euro pallets (EPAL/ EUR pallets)
- Plastic pallets and crates
- Pallet collars and pallet boxes
- Miscellaneous pallet wood and scrap loads
Wherever possible, we prioritise reuse first, then recycling, then responsible disposal for anything that cannot be recovered. Different pallet materials are processed separately, ensuring plastics and wood are diverted from landfill wherever practical.
Collection for homes, businesses And sites
We work with households, small and large businesses, facilities managers and site contractors across the UK. If pallets are building up and becoming a safety, space or fire‑risk issue, we can help.
We collect pallets from:
- Homes and flats after deliveries or renovations
- Shops, restaurants, and hospitality venues
- Warehouses, industrial units and logistics hubs
- Construction sites, yards and storage compounds
Whether you manage a single site or multiple locations, our pallet collection service can be arranged as a one‑off or on a recurring schedule to keep pallet waste under control.
Request a quoteEvery wooden pallet Reconomy collects is processed through a 3-stage waste hierarchy to ensure nothing goes to landfill:
- Reuse — Where pallets are in good condition, we seek to reuse them directly. Those with minor damage are repaired and returned to service wherever possible.
- Recycle — Pallets that cannot be repaired are recycled into secondary products such as wooden briquettes, animal bedding, or garden mulch.
- Recover — Any pallets unable to be reused or recycled are sent to energy recovery facilities, where they are converted into biomass fuel.
This approach reflects Reconomy’s commitment to the circular economy. As a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader 2025 and signatory to the UN Global Compact, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of sustainable resource management.
