Everything the sort deck rejected, on its way to the grinder. It leaves as mulch, bedding and boiler fibre — not as landfill.

What ships here
Delaware, in freight terms.
Delaware is small but freight-dense. The Port of Wilmington is one of the largest fruit import gateways in North America and the largest banana port in the country, which produces a very specific pallet flow: enormous inbound volume on foreign footprints, arriving refrigerated, all at once.
That import mix is the interesting part for a recycler. Fruit importers accumulate odd-size and single-use platforms in quantities local demand cannot absorb, and remanufacturing them into standard footprints is exactly the sort of work our dismantling line exists for.
Downstate, poultry processing dominates and brings the usual hygiene split: plastic in wash-down zones, tightly sorted dry wood everywhere else.

Questions
Buying pallets in Delaware.
Do you deliver to Delaware?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.
What is the minimum order into Delaware?
A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.
What footprints move most in Delaware?
Remanufacturing of import and fruit footprints, hygiene-sorted Grade A for poultry, standard GMA for distribution.
Can you quote a custom build here?
Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
