This report will walk you step-by-step into the the profitable business of wood pallet recycling. After your finished reading this article you'll be ready and able to start your own pallet recycling business.
Anyone can run this type of business and it's easy to get started. You can easily make $125 a day and there is virtually no expensive equipment to buy and you can get started with little to no money.
SUPPLIES NEEDED: There is only a few things you'll need to get started in this business. A pick-up truck, a pair of work gloves, an electric drill, a hammer and some nails.
You might want to build up the sides of your pick-up truck, so you can haul more pallets per load. Keep in mind when your out collecting pallets you'll want to make as few trips as possible, which will help keep your gas expenses low and it save you time and that puts more money in your pocket.
FINDING WOOD PALLETS: Finding wood pallets to recycle in your area is much easier than you might think. Everywhere you go like department stores, malls, factories and any business that produces or sells large volumes of products you'll find pallets lying around.
When you find pallets simply go into the business and talk to the manager or owner and tell them that you will remove their wood pallets for free. They should be happy to give them to you, as most companies have to pay to have their pallets hauled off.
Explain to the manager or owner that you will stop by and pick up their pallets on a regular basis and by doing this you'll be establishing a route and a relationship with each company that you pick up for and this way they won't give them away to anyone else.
Once you have collected all your pallets you'll need to sort them by size, because your customers buy wood pallets by size. For example a common size is 36"x48", so place all your pallets this size in one stack and by doing this it will make it easier for you to deliver the size your customers want.
REPAIRING WOOD PALLETS: Any broken wood pallets can be quickly repaired by simply taking the worse of your broken ones apart and using the stock to repair the others. Most wood pallets are made from oak and oak that has been seasoned is very hard to nail through, so to get around this problem simply drill a small pilot hole for the nail. All broken planks on a pallet must be replaced before selling it.
SELLING YOUR WOOD PALLETS: Manufacturing companies in your area will buy your wood pallets. Simply call or visit each company and let them know you have wood pallets for sale. You can usually sell your used pallets to them for $2.50 to $3.50 each depending upon their condition and size. A busy company will order 50-100 pallets every week, so if you can get just 5 companies buying 50 pallets from you at $2.50 each, 5 days a week then you would earn $625 a week or $125 a day.
The wood pallets you can't sell to manufacturing companies can be sold to a local pallet company. You can find pallet companies listed in the phone book. Most pallet recyclers simply sell to a pallet company, because it's easier, but your profits will be less.
Once a company buys pallets from you there is no waiting to get paid. You'll get paid upon delivery. This is one of the great benefits of this business. Another benefit of the wood pallet business is that you are the boss and you choose your own work hours.
CLOSING COMMENTS: As you can see by reading this article the pallet recycling business is pretty easy to start and that anyone can do it that's willing to do a little work. You don't need a large investment like other business start-ups require and you can start making money right away.
I wish you much success in your new wood pallet recycling business!
