One Partner for Every Pallet Need
Bakersfield Pallet Co. was founded by Garrett Caldwell with a straightforward mission: provide Central Valley businesses with a single, reliable source for every pallet-related service they could ever require. Whether you need to purchase a truckload of standard 48x40 GMA pallets, offload surplus inventory for cash, set up a recurring recycling program, repair a fleet of damaged pallets, schedule a next-day delivery, or certify wood packaging for international export, our team handles it all under one roof at our facility on 3240 Patton Way, Bakersfield, CA 93308.
Our integrated approach means fewer vendors to manage, faster turnaround times, and better pricing. When you buy from us today, sell back to us next month, and recycle through us all year, every transaction builds on the last. We understand your operation, anticipate your needs, and continuously optimize the supply chain between our yard and your dock.
Under the leadership of Operations Manager Oakley Thorne, our facility processes tens of thousands of pallets each month. Sustainability Director Wren Castellano ensures that every process we run — from repair to grinding — meets or exceeds California environmental standards and CalRecycle compliance requirements.

Buy Pallets
We maintain the largest used pallet inventory in the southern Central Valley. Our stock includes standard 48x40 GMA pallets in Grade A, B, and C conditions, along with specialty sizes such as 42x42, 48x48, 48x45, and 36x36. Need something custom? We build to your exact specifications using hardwood, softwood, or a combination. Pricing starts as low as a few dollars per unit for Grade C recycled pallets and scales with grade, size, and order volume. Bulk discount tiers apply automatically at 100, 250, 500, and 1,000+ unit thresholds. Most standard orders are available for same-day pickup or next-day delivery within Kern County.

Our buy-back program is designed for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturers, and retailers that accumulate surplus pallets from inbound shipments. We purchase all grades, from pristine Grade A pallets that can go straight back into circulation to broken pallets we dismantle for parts and wood fiber. We offer on-site pickup anywhere in the Central Valley, and we handle all loading and sorting. Payment is issued within days of pickup, and recurring clients can set up weekly or bi-weekly collection schedules for hands-free pallet management.

Recycling is the foundation of our business. Every pallet that enters our facility is assessed for its highest-value use. Pallets in good condition are cleaned and returned to inventory. Repairable pallets go to our repair line. Pallets beyond repair are dismantled; usable boards become repair stock while unusable wood is ground into mulch, animal bedding, biomass fuel, or compost feedstock. Our zero-landfill commitment means we divert over 95% of incoming material from disposal. Wren Castellano oversees our CalRecycle compliance documentation and annual waste diversion reporting to ensure we exceed state benchmarks.

Our repair team handles everything from single-board replacements to full deck rebuilds and stringer reinforcements. We use pneumatic nailers, pallet dismantling equipment, and dimensional lumber — both reclaimed and new — to bring pallets back to spec. Average repair turnaround is 24-48 hours for standard orders. Repair costs typically run 50-75% below the price of a new equivalent, and the environmental benefit is enormous: repairing one pallet saves approximately 3.5 board feet of lumber and the energy that would have gone into milling a replacement. We inspect every repaired pallet against NWPCA quality standards before it leaves our facility.
View full repair details →Logistics & Delivery
We operate our own fleet of flatbed trucks, stake-bed trucks, and box trucks — no third-party carriers, no middlemen. Our primary delivery zone covers all of Kern County with same-day capability for orders placed before noon. Next-day service extends to Tehachapi, Taft, Ridgecrest, Porterville, and Tulare. Scheduled routes run weekly to Fresno, Visalia, Hanford, Lancaster, Palmdale, and throughout the greater Central Valley. Our drivers handle loading and unloading, and every delivery is tracked by our dispatch team so you always know when your pallets will arrive. Fleet vehicles also serve as our pickup trucks for buy-back and recycling collections.
View full logistics details →Heat Treatment (ISPM-15)
If you ship goods internationally on wood pallets or crating, ISPM-15 compliance is not optional — it is mandatory in virtually every major trading nation. Our on-site heat treatment kiln raises the core temperature of wood packaging to 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 continuous minutes, meeting the threshold set by the International Plant Protection Convention. After treatment, each pallet receives the official IPPC stamp with our registered facility code. We maintain detailed temperature logs for every batch and provide treatment certificates for your shipping documentation. Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours, with rush service available.
