North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality regulates wood pallet recycling under 15A NCAC 13B; our partner facilities in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro maintain NCDEQ registration for return-stream service.

North Carolina furniture manufacturers in High Point, Hickory, and Lenoir use custom oversized pallets for assembled freight; 60x40 and 72x48 builds available on 5-day production lead time for furniture-market exhibitors.

Deck board edge type defaults to chamfered for forklift safety; square-edge available on request for ASRS compatibility; rounded-edge banding tracks available for high-throughput line-side delivery.

Flatbed delivery handles oversized loads or pallets with overhanging product; tarping included; preferred for export crates and bulk lumber shipments.
