Local picture

What moves through Rochester.

Precision manufacturing specifies clean, low-dust stock and tight dimensional consistency.

Rochester sits in Monroe County, served by I-90, I-390 and I-490. The local freight base is optics and imaging, food processing, precision manufacturing, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

Rochester is served on scheduled contract freight from Columbus, roughly 320 miles away. That works for full trailer loads and program volume; for a few hundred units, a local yard will beat us and we will say so.

Do you collect used pallets from Rochester?

Collection at this distance only works on volume — a full trailer of sorted cores, or a program arrangement. For smaller quantities a regional recycler is the right call. See sell your pallets.
