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

Local picture
What moves through Houston.
The largest petrochemical complex in the country; drum footprints and segregation discipline dominate.
Houston sits in Harris County, served by I-10, I-45, I-69, I-610 and SH-8. The local freight base is petrochemicals, port freight, energy, distribution, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.
At roughly 1030 miles, Houston is outside the range where hauling routine stock from Ohio makes economic sense. What does travel is specification: engineered builds, export crating and program design, where the value sits in the drawing rather than in the wood.

Questions
Pallets in Houston.
Can you deliver pallets to Houston?
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. Houston is about 1030 road miles from our yard, about 16 hours to dallas.
Do you collect used pallets from Houston?
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.
What do pallets cost in Houston?
Recycled 48×40 GMA has run roughly $7.50 to $12.00 for Grade A and $5.00 to $8.50 for Grade B in our home market, before freight. Delivered pricing to Houston depends on the distance above and the order size, which is why we quote delivered rather than FOB.
What is the local industry mix?
Petrochemicals, Port freight, Energy, Distribution. That mix is what decides the specification — see the table above, and industries for the full detail on each sector.
