When Replacing Beats Repairing

At current 2026 market prices, Grade B recycled GMA pallets run market rate each in truckload quantities. When repair costs approach $5+, replacement often wins on total cost once labor is factored in. The math shifts in favor of repair when: (1) your operation has idle labor that can do repairs, (2) you use block pallets (market rate replacement cost creates more repair headroom), or (3) you need food-grade pallets where the repair wood's provenance can be verified. For most Southeast operations buying in volume from Florida Pallet Supply, Grade B recycled pallets at market rate delivered is often cheaper than in-house repair programs.
