Become a Partner
Whether you are a pallet supplier, waste hauler, or business with consistent pallet flow — let us build something together.
At Bakersfield Pallet Co., we believe the best business relationships are partnerships built on mutual benefit, transparency, and trust. Our partnership programs are designed for businesses that want more than a vendor — they want a reliable partner who understands their operations and is invested in their success. Led by Sustainability Director Wren Castellano, our partnership team works closely with each partner to deliver measurable value.

Partnership Programs
We offer four distinct partnership programs, each designed for a different type of business. Choose the program that aligns with your needs, or contact us if you have a unique situation that does not fit neatly into one category.
Pallet Supplier Partner
Ideal for: Warehouses, distribution centers, retailers, e-commerce fulfillment centers
Are you a warehouse, distributor, or retailer with a steady stream of used pallets? Partner with us to turn that waste stream into revenue. We offer competitive buy-back rates, scheduled pickups, and detailed reporting on volumes and payments. Many of our supplier partners find that their pallet buy-back revenue offsets a significant portion of their waste management costs.
How It Works
- 1We assess your pallet output volume and condition mix
- 2We propose a buy-back pricing schedule based on pallet grade and quantity
- 3We set up a recurring pickup schedule that works for your operation
- 4Pallets are counted and paid for on a regular billing cycle
- 5You receive monthly reports documenting volumes, payments, and environmental impact
Recycling Program Partner
Ideal for: Waste haulers, junk removal services, cleanup contractors, property managers
For waste management companies and haulers who encounter pallets in their operations. Instead of landfilling pallets or paying disposal fees, route them to Bakersfield Pallet Co. We pay per pallet based on condition and quantity, and we handle all processing, repair, and recycling. This partnership adds a revenue stream to your waste hauling business while supporting environmental goals.
How It Works
- 1You collect pallets as part of your normal operations
- 2You deliver pallets to our facility or we arrange pickup for large loads
- 3Pallets are assessed and paid for based on condition and quantity
- 4We provide documentation of diversion volumes for your sustainability reporting
- 5No minimum volume requirements — start small and scale up
Supply Chain Partner
Ideal for: Manufacturers, food processors, beverage companies, agricultural operations
For businesses that need a reliable, long-term pallet supply. Supply chain partners receive dedicated inventory, priority pricing, and a single point of contact for all pallet needs. This program is designed for manufacturers, food processors, and distribution operations that depend on consistent pallet availability to keep their supply chain moving without interruption.
How It Works
- 1We audit your current pallet usage and recommend the optimal grade and size
- 2We set up a standing order with guaranteed inventory for your account
- 3Deliveries are scheduled on your preferred cadence — weekly, bi-weekly, or custom
- 4Pricing is locked for the partnership period to protect against market fluctuations
- 5Quarterly reviews ensure the program continues to meet your evolving needs
Sustainability Reporting Partner
Ideal for: Public companies, B-Corps, companies with ESG mandates, sustainability-focused brands
For companies with formal ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting requirements who want to document the environmental impact of their pallet recycling and purchasing decisions. Wren Castellano, our Sustainability Director, works directly with your team to provide detailed, audit-ready data on waste diversion, carbon savings, lumber conservation, and more.
How It Works
- 1We identify the sustainability metrics most relevant to your reporting framework
- 2We track your pallet volumes, recycling inputs, and environmental outputs
- 3We provide formatted reports aligned with your reporting schedule
- 4Data includes estimated carbon savings, lumber preserved, and landfill diversion
- 5Reports can be co-branded for inclusion in your sustainability publications

Benefits for All Partners

What Our Partners Say
Partnering with Bakersfield Pallet has simplified our entire pallet operation. We no longer manage multiple vendors or worry about supply disruptions. One partner, one contact, zero headaches.
Sienna Blackwood
Operations Director, Harvest Valley Farms
The monthly sustainability reports they provide go directly into our ESG filings. Having a pallet partner who tracks environmental impact at the level Wren and her team do is incredibly valuable for us.
Maren Walsh
Procurement Lead, Pacific Produce Co.
We went from paying for pallet disposal to getting paid for our surplus. The buy-back program alone justified the partnership, and the quality of pallets we buy from them has been consistently excellent.
Beckett Harmon
Logistics Manager, FreightLine Distribution
Partnership Application Process
Becoming a partner is straightforward. Here is what to expect from initial inquiry to full partnership launch.
Initial Inquiry
Submit your interest through our contact form or email info@bakersfieldpallet.com. Tell us about your business, your pallet needs or surplus, and what you are looking for in a partnership.
Discovery Call or Email Exchange
Our partnership team, led by Sustainability Director Wren Castellano, will reach out to learn more about your operation. We will discuss volumes, logistics, pricing expectations, and partnership goals.
Site Assessment (Optional)
For larger partnerships, we may visit your facility to assess pallet flow, storage, and logistics. This helps us design a program that integrates seamlessly with your existing operations.
Proposal & Agreement
We prepare a customized partnership proposal outlining pricing, services, delivery schedules, and reporting. Once approved, we formalize the agreement and assign your dedicated account manager.
Onboarding & Launch
We set up your account in our system, schedule initial deliveries or pickups, and provide any training needed for your team. Most partnerships are fully operational within two weeks of agreement.
Ongoing Review & Optimization
We conduct regular reviews (monthly for Gold, quarterly for Silver, semi-annually for Bronze) to evaluate performance, adjust volumes, and identify opportunities to improve the partnership.
