Give Pallets a Second Life
We buy, sell, recycle, and transport used pallets across California's Central Valley and the Western United States. Every pallet we save is a tree that keeps growing and a landfill that stays a little emptier.
Based at 2622 Wigwam Dr, Stockton, CA 95205, we serve warehouses, manufacturers, farms, and distribution centers with reliable, sustainable pallet programs tailored to your operation.
Stockton's Trusted Pallet Partner
Stockton Pallet Co. was founded with a simple but powerful conviction: the millions of pallets discarded every year in California represent not just environmental waste, but untapped economic value. Based in the heart of Stockton at 2622 Wigwam Dr, we have grown from a small local operation into one of the Central Valley's most reliable pallet recycling and redistribution companies.
We specialize in buying, selling, recycling, and transporting used pallets for businesses of all sizes. Whether you are a large-scale warehouse looking to offload thousands of surplus pallets, a small manufacturer in need of affordable shipping materials, or a farm operation requiring seasonal pallet supply, we have the capacity, expertise, and fleet to serve you.

Every Pallet Saved Is a Victory for Earth
The EPA estimates that approximately 27.1 million tons of wood waste is generated in the United States each year, and pallets account for a significant share of that total. An estimated 700 million pallets are in circulation in the US at any given time, and roughly 10% of those end up in landfills annually.
At Stockton Pallet Co., we are working to change that equation, one pallet at a time. Our zero-waste operations ensure that every pallet we handle is either refurbished for reuse, broken down for repair parts, or converted into biomass and mulch. Nothing reaches the landfill.
Environmental Impact Dashboard
Lifecycle Extension Impact
Each pallet we refurbish avoids approximately 27 kg of CO2 emissions that would be generated from manufacturing a new replacement. With 25,000+ pallets processed monthly, that translates to roughly 675 metric tons of carbon dioxide avoided every single month.
Pallets for Every Need
We carry a comprehensive inventory of used, refurbished, and recycled pallets in wood, plastic, metal, and composite materials.
