Picking up Cores pallets in Rochester

Rochester sits inside the NY pallet market, where local warehouses, distribution centers and industrial parks cycle through thousands of used pallets every week. Most pickups in the Rochester metro can be scheduled within 24–48 hours, with trucks routed via nearby interstate corridors and regional freight hubs. Full-trailer loads qualify for free pickup, while will-call buyers can usually stop by the same day once an order is confirmed.

If you need different quantities, grades or a specific cut size, we coordinate across multiple NY yards to put together a mixed load. See all pallet inventory in NY.
