Buy Used Plastic Pallets in Maryland

Save Money on Quality Used Plastic Pallets in Maryland

You'll save up to 50% on shipping costs while helping the environment by buying used plastic pallets instead of new ones.

Why Choose Used Plastic Pallets?

You get three big benefits when you buy used instead of new:

Save money - Pay $6-10 per pallet instead of $15-20 for new ones

Help the environment - Keep plastic out of landfills

Get the same quality - Plastic pallets last for decades, so used ones work just as well

For example, if you need 100 pallets for your warehouse, you'll spend $600-1,000 on used pallets versus $1,500-2,000 on new ones. That's $500-1,500 back in your pocket.

What Are Plastic Pallets?

Think of them as heavy-duty plastic platforms that forklifts can pick up from two or four sides. They're made from the same tough plastic as milk jugs, but much thicker.

Unlike wood pallets, plastic ones won't:

• Rot or get moldy
• Break apart and create splinters
• Harbor bugs or bacteria
• Absorb spills and odors

Common Sizes and Types

Most businesses use the standard 48×40 inch size (about 4 feet by 3 feet). This fits most truck beds and warehouse racks.

You can choose between:

• Two-way entry - Forklift picks up from front and back only
• Four-way entry - Forklift can pick up from any side (more flexible)

Load capacity ranges from 2,000 to 6,000 pounds depending on the pallet design.

Where to Buy in Maryland

Online Through RePackify

RePackify connects you with local sellers across Maryland. You fill out one form and get quotes from multiple suppliers. They serve Baltimore, Towson, Ellicott City, and Columbia.

Local Recycling Centers

Maryland has several plastic pallet recyclers in Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Waldorf, and Frederick. They often buy back your old pallets when you're done with them.

How Much You'll Pay

Here's what to expect:

• High-quality used pallets: $6-10 each
• Lower-grade used pallets: $2-4 each
• Maryland average: $8 per pallet

Money-saving tip: Buy a full truck load (usually 26-28 pallets) and many suppliers will deliver for free.

How to Buy Smart

Count what you need - Measure your products and storage space first

Ask about condition - "A-grade" means light wear, "B-grade" means cosmetic damage but still functional

Check load limits - Make sure the pallet can handle your product weight

Ask about returns - Some sellers take back pallets you can't use

Special Considerations

If you're in food, pharmaceutical, or export businesses, ask if the pallets meet your industry requirements. Some used pallets work for general shipping but not food storage.

Real example: A Baltimore food distributor saved $2,000 by buying 200 used food-grade plastic pallets instead of new ones, and the pallets are still working perfectly two years later.

Getting Started

The easiest way is to request quotes online through RePackify or call local recyclers directly. Most can deliver within a few days, and many offer free pickup of your old pallets when they deliver new ones.

Start with a small order to test quality, then buy in bulk once you find a supplier you trust.
