Pallet Tips & Buying Guides

Practical guides on pallet grades, prices, ISPM-15, and free pickup from the team at Pallet Recycling Guys in Surrey, BC.

Straight Talk on Pallets from a Surrey Yard That Has Seen It All

We have been buying, selling, and recycling pallets in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley for over 16 years. In that time we have answered the same questions thousands of times — what grade should I buy, how do I get rid of 200 pallets, what does ISPM-15 actually mean? This blog is where we write those answers down.

Every post is written by the people who run the yard at 12255 Industrial Road in Surrey. No filler, no keyword stuffing — just practical information for Lower Mainland businesses that buy, sell, or need to dispose of pallets.

Browse the posts below. If you have a question that is not covered, call or WhatsApp us at 604-761-5661 and we will give you a straight answer.
