Pallet collection for UK business

Palletmove collects surplus, damaged and end-of-life pallets — as a one-off clearance or on a planned schedule. We separate any pooled or branded pallets that aren't yours to give away.

How it works

A collection built around your site

Access, stacking, storage and safety rules differ from site to site. We agree those details up front, so the right vehicle turns up and nothing gets turned away at the gate.

  • 1. Site and volume check

    Pallet types, condition, volumes, storage and access, agreed before we book anything in.

  • 2. Collection plan

    One-off clearance, a fixed schedule, or a call-off collection when your threshold is reached.

  • 3. Separation at source

    Pooled and branded pallets are identified and set aside before loading.

  • 4. Grading and routing

    Pallets are checked for repair and reuse first, then recycling.

  • 5. Value assessment

    Recoverable pallets are priced and reflected in your quote, not just removed as a cost.

  • 6. Records

    Collection records supplied in the format your reporting needs.

Choose the right route

Six ways to solve your pallet backlog

The best arrangement depends on whether you're clearing a backlog or managing an ongoing flow, whether the pallets hold value, and how many sites are involved.

Pooled pallets

Pooled stock is separated, never removed as surplus

CHEP, LPR and IPP pallets belong to the operator that issued them. They can't be sold, scrapped or repaired locally, and a build-up can carry charges. We spot them during collection and set them aside so you can return them through the operator's own network.

The marks below help your team recognise those pooling systems. They are not accreditations, partnerships or endorsements.

  • CHEP pooled pallet system mark
  • LPR pooled pallet system mark
  • IPP pooled pallet system mark

Who this is for

Single sites, whole networks and everything between

Manufacturers with continuous inbound pallet flow, distributors with fluctuating surplus, 3PLs holding pallets for several clients, and multi-site organisations that want one consistent process and one set of records.

Got several sites to cover? Our pallet management and multi-site collections services replace repeated one-off bookings with a single managed contract.

Need pallets coming in as well as going out? Palletmove also supplies new and used pallets, often arranged alongside your collection.

To book a collection, call 023 8017 1048 or, from outside the area, 0330 107 0944.

A few details — postcode, roughly how many pallets, type and condition — are enough for us to call you back with something useful. Photographs of the stack help a great deal.

Step 2 of 4

What is on site?

Every collection question, including photographs, is on this screen. We will confirm the collection and any commercial arrangement after reviewing the details.

Pallets on site

Location, quantity, pallet types and condition.

We do not normally arrange a vehicle collection for fewer than 10 pallets. An estimate is fine.

What pallet types are present?

Select every option that applies. CHEP, LPR and IPP pallets can be removed without a collection charge; pooled-pallet ownership rules still apply.

Collection access, timing and photographs

Tell us how the site can be accessed and add photographs so we can assess the pallets before calling.

Photographs of the pallets (optional, but very helpful)

Photographs let a Palletmove specialist assess what you have before we speak. They support human assessment only — we do not grade, price or value pallets from a photograph.

  • A wide view of the whole stack, so we can judge the volume
  • A side, underside or construction view showing blocks, runners and boards
  • A close-up of any stamps, colours or ownership marks

Please do not include people, personal documents or vehicle registration numbers in your photographs.

Up to 6 photos. JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC/HEIF. Maximum 10.0 MB each. On a phone you can take a new photo or choose one from your library.

Photographs are stored privately and are visible only to the Palletmove team assessing your enquiry. They are deleted automatically after 90 days unless they form part of an active customer record. See our privacy notice for detail.

Not sure? Leave it blank and call 023 8017 1048.

Your answers are emailed to the Palletmove team so they can call you back, and are used for nothing else. Same-day delivery may be available when you order before 10am, subject to stock, vehicle availability, order size and destination, and we confirm it with you before you rely on it.
