Segregation
Sorted by type, not by convenience. Pooled units go back to the pool; plastic runs a separate stream entirely.

What ships here
Hawaii, in freight terms.
Hawaii imports approximately everything. Container freight arrives from Oakland, Long Beach and Tacoma, and very little manufactured product leaves, which produces the most extreme consumption-surplus pallet market in the country.
The practical consequence is that used pallets accumulate on the islands with no economic route off them. Local recycling and reuse capacity exists but the arithmetic is difficult, and disposal costs are high because everything is.
There is no version of this where shipping pallets from Ohio makes sense. What can help is programme design — reducing what arrives, increasing reuse cycles on-island, and specifying returnable systems where the shipping line supports them.

Questions
Buying pallets in Hawaii.
Do you deliver to Hawaii?
Reachable on project freight and through our sourcing network. For routine weekly supply, a yard closer to you will almost certainly beat us on delivered cost, and we will say so.
What is the minimum order into Hawaii?
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 Hawaii?
Programme design and reuse strategy only. Physical supply from the mainland is not sensible.
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.
