The estate

Where do we collect pallets around Ingleburn and Minto?

Ingleburn's estate sits between the Hume Highway and the rail line around Williamson Road, Stennett Road and Lancaster Street; Minto's runs along Airds Road and Ben Lomond Road. Manufacturers, food processors, packaging and 3PLs, many of them running pooled pallets on outbound and one way pallets on inbound, which leaves a steady pile of one way and odd stock.

Ingleburn and Minto is about 9 km from our yard at Prestons, which is why the run is cheap enough to be free from sixty pallets. We also collect across Macquarie Fields, Glenfield, Leumeah, Campbelltown, Bow Bowing and Raby 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 Ingleburn and Minto?

Sixty or more reusable pallets in Ingleburn and Minto 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.

Do you buy the pallets or just take them?

What if we have no forklift?

Do you collect CHEP or Loscam pallets?

No. Pooled pallets belong to the pool and go back to it. Tell the pool they are there and keep them out of the count.

How quickly can you collect?

A quote asked for before 2pm is answered the same business day, and the pickup window is booked against the day the stack is ready and the hours the gate is open. Regular stacks go on a schedule so the pile never builds up.
