Cleveland Pallet Co.

From a small Cleveland operation to Northeast Ohio's leading pallet recycler — built on sustainability, reliability, and community. Over 15 years of keeping pallets out of landfills and delivering dependable service to thousands of businesses.

Cleveland Pallet Co. was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to give every pallet a second chance. In an industry where millions of pallets are discarded annually, we saw an opportunity to make a real environmental impact. What started as a passion project in a small east-side warehouse has grown into a full-scale operation that processes over half a million pallets every year.

Our team inspects, grades, repairs, and redistributes used pallets that would otherwise end up in landfills. We work with businesses of all sizes — from small warehouses to Fortune 500 distribution centers — providing high-quality pallets at a fraction of the cost of new ones. Every pallet we recycle represents timber that doesn't need to be harvested, energy that doesn't need to be spent on manufacturing, and landfill space that stays available for waste that truly can't be reused.

When a pallet has reached the end of its usable life, we don't just throw it away. We break it down and recycle the materials into mulch, animal bedding, biomass fuel, and more. Our goal is zero waste — and we're getting closer every year. In 2024, we achieved a 98% waste diversion rate, meaning only 2% of materials entering our facility end up in landfills.

We believe that profitability and environmental stewardship are not mutually exclusive. By extending the life of every pallet, we save our customers money while simultaneously protecting the forests and ecosystems that sustain us all. That's not just good business — it's the right thing to do.
