The estate

Where do we collect pallets around Botany, Mascot and Banksmeadow?

Botany and Banksmeadow are the port side of Sydney: container parks, freight forwarders, unpack depots and importers along Botany Road, McPherson Street and Beauchamp Road next to Port Botany. Mascot's estate off Bourke Road and O'Riordan Street serves the airport with air freight, couriers and distributors, and Alexandria and Rosebery add wholesalers and food companies in converted sheds.

Botany, Mascot and Banksmeadow is about 40 km from our yard at Prestons, which is why the run is cheap enough to be free from sixty pallets. We also collect across Alexandria, Rosebery, Matraville, Hillsdale, Eastgardens, Port Botany and Sydney Airport on the same run, so a stack that is short on its own often makes the count with a neighbour's.

The rule

When is a pallet pickup free in Botany, Mascot and Banksmeadow?

Sixty or more reusable pallets in Botany, Mascot and Banksmeadow is a free pickup, because it sits inside Greater Sydney and the pallets pay for the truck. Under sixty, the stack is quoted as a clearance before anything is booked, or it rides back on a delivery we are already making to the estate.

Reusable means sound Australian standard 1165 x 1165 pallets graded A, B or C, plus repairable cores with broken boards on a sound frame. Euro and odd sizes are reusable and bought, but counted in their own stack. Broken timber, cracked bearers and contaminated pallets are a clearance line, and pooled pallets (CHEP and Loscam) stay out of the count and go back to the pool. The 60 pallet rule page works five real stacks through the arithmetic.

03Window booked around the gateUnpack depots and forwarders have docks, forklifts and tight yards; a booked window and a sorted count by size matter more here than anywhere. Say whether there is a forklift and the hours the gate is open; a hand load is priced up front, not on the invoice.
