Choose Wood When...
Budget is your primary driver, you need a wide variety of sizes, repairability matters, or you're using pallets for one-way domestic shipping. Wood is the most versatile and cost-effective option for 90%+ of applications.
Choose Plastic When...
Hygiene is critical (food, pharma), you need ISPM-15 exemption for export, pallets cycle many times through your operation, weight savings matter, or you need nestable pallets to reduce return shipping costs.
Choose Metal When...
Loads exceed 3,000 lbs, fire codes prohibit combustibles, the environment is corrosive or extreme-temperature, you need decades of service, or you use automated handling systems that require precise, consistent dimensions.
Why Choose Used Pallets?
Used pallets aren't just a budget-friendly option — they're the sustainable option. Here's why businesses across the Central Valley and all of California choose reclaimed pallets from Stockton Pallet Co.
Save 40-60% vs. New
Used pallets cost a fraction of new ones. For high-volume operations, the savings add up fast — often tens of thousands of dollars per year. A warehouse running 10,000 pallets annually saves $40,000-$80,000 by choosing used.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Every reused pallet saves approximately 3.5 board feet of lumber and prevents 27 lbs of CO2 emissions. Choosing used means fewer trees cut, less energy consumed, and reduced landfill waste across California.
Inspected & Graded
Our quality grading system means you always know what you're getting. Every pallet is inspected for structural integrity, cleanliness, and compliance. Three clear grades — A, B, C — with documented standards.
Circular Economy
When your pallets reach end of life, we take them back through our buyback program. We repair what we can, recycle the rest into mulch, biofuel, or particle board, and ensure nothing goes to landfill.
Ready to Ship Now
No lead times for manufacturing. Our inventory of 55,000+ used pallets at our Stockton yard is constantly restocked, so you get what you need when you need it. Most orders ship within 24-48 hours.
Meet ESG Goals
Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability with verifiable metrics. We provide documentation for your environmental, social, and governance reporting including tonnage diverted, CO2 saved, and trees preserved.
Local Jobs & Economy
When you buy from Stockton Pallet Co., you support local employment and the Central Valley economy. Our team of pallet inspectors, logistics staff, and repair technicians depends on local business relationships.
Flexible Supply
Mixed-grade orders, recurring delivery schedules, custom sizes, and specialty sourcing — we tailor our supply to your operation. Need 50 Grade A pallets and 500 Grade C? Done. Need weekly delivery? We set it up.
Proven Performance
Used pallets that pass our grading process perform identically to new pallets for their rated applications. Grade A and B pallets retain 90-100% of their original load capacity. Quality isn't sacrificed for price.

Central Valley Agricultural Co-op
Agriculture & ProduceChallenge
Spending $180,000/year on new wood pallets for seasonal produce shipping. Pallets were used once and discarded, creating waste and driving up costs during peak harvest season.
Solution

Results
- Zero pallet failures since switching to steel

- Eliminated 3 safety incidents per quarter
