How It
Works
Baltimore Pallets is a referral service. Send one free quote request and a partner supplier in our network follows up.
What the
Service Does
Baltimore Pallets matches people who need pallets, or have pallets to sell or get rid of, with partner suppliers in the Baltimore area. We do not hold pallets, run trucks, or set prices. We take your request and pass it to a supplier in our network.
You can ask for quotes on buying, selling, recycling, or repairing pallets, and on pickup or delivery, all through partner suppliers. Which services a supplier offers, and where it will go, is up to that supplier.
Requests come from the Baltimore area, including Baltimore City and County, Towson, Dundalk, Essex, Columbia, Glen Burnie, Annapolis, and the BWI corridor. Availability depends on partner suppliers.

What Pallet Grades Mean
Grade A
Few repairs and a clean, consistent look. Often the choice when appearance matters or when pallets go to a customer.
Grade B
Some repairs and mixed colors. A common middle option for everyday warehouse use.
Grade C
Heavier use and more visible wear. Suited to jobs where looks do not matter.
Grade names are an industry habit, not a single legal standard, so one supplier's B can differ from another's. When you request a quote, ask the supplier to describe what its grade allows.
Writing a Useful Request
What to Tell the Supplier
The more specific your request, the easier it is for a supplier to quote it. Say whether you want to buy, sell, recycle, or repair pallets, or whether you need pickup or delivery. Give the size you use, the grade you expect, and roughly how many pallets are involved.
Add the town or area, whether the location has a loading dock or needs a liftgate, and whether the job is one time or repeating. If you are selling or disposing of pallets, describe their condition and sizes honestly. Quotes made on accurate details are less likely to change later.
Choosing Size and Construction
The most familiar North American size is the 48x40 GMA pallet. Others you will see include 48x48, 42x42, and 40x48, and 1200x1000 is common in international shipping. If your racks, conveyors, or customers expect a specific size, say so first.
Stringer pallets have boards running the length of the pallet and are typically two-way entry for forklifts. Block pallets have blocks between the decks and usually allow four-way entry, which can be handier in tight spaces. Plastic pallets are also available from some suppliers. Ask which options a supplier can provide.
Export Pallets and ISPM 15
Wood pallets and crates used in international shipments generally have to meet ISPM 15, which calls for heat treatment to a core temperature of 56 °C for 30 minutes, or other approved treatment. A compliant pallet carries a stamp with the IPPC mark and a treatment code such as HT. Methyl bromide treatment, marked MB, has been phased down in many places.
If your pallets will leave the country, tell the supplier in your request and ask for ISPM 15 stamped pallets. Rules differ by destination and change over time, so check current regulations for the country you are shipping to.
Selling, Recycling, and Repair
If you have surplus or broken pallets, you can ask suppliers whether they will take them, and whether they can collect them. What a supplier will accept depends on size, condition, and quantity, so describe what you have. Pallets that are too damaged to use again may be recycled instead.
Repair and reuse are often an alternative to buying new. Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one, and a repaired pallet can cost a supplier less to provide. Ask each supplier what repairs it does and how it describes a repaired pallet.
