Pallets in Nowra and South Nowra: supply, collection and clearance.

A hundred and thirty-five kilometres from the yard, so the pickup is priced in the written offer against what the pallets earn and the run is shared with Shellharbour and Unanderra. A sorted stack of sixty or more sound standard pallets is worth sending; a mixed thirty usually is not, and we will say so.

Quick answer

When is a pallet pickup free in Nowra and South Nowra?

Nowra and South Nowra is outside Greater Sydney, so the pickup is priced in the written offer and netted against what the pallets earn rather than assumed free; on a sorted stack of sixty or more sound standard pallets it usually comes out in your favour. Sound pallets are bought, repairable cores credited, broken timber is a clearance line, and you see the figure before anyone drives out.

The estate

Where do we collect pallets around Nowra and South Nowra?

South Nowra's estate along the Princes Highway, Quinns Lane and Central Avenue is the Shoalhaven's industrial centre: building suppliers, boat builders, food processors, transport depots and the trades that serve the coast from Berry to Ulladulla. Bomaderry across the river carries the older manufacturing and the rail head.

Nowra and South Nowra is about 135 km from our yard at Prestons, which is why the run is cheap enough to be free from sixty pallets on a Sydney stack, and priced honestly here. We also collect across Bomaderry, Berry, Huskisson, Ulladulla, Albion Park Rail and Kiama 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 Nowra and South Nowra?

Nowra and South Nowra is outside Greater Sydney, so the pickup is priced in the written offer rather than assumed free, netted against what the pallets earn. On a stack of sixty or more sound standard pallets it usually comes out well in your favour; you see the figure before anyone drives out.

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.

On the day

How does a collection in Nowra and South Nowra work?

01Photo and countSend a photo of the stacks and a rough count, split by size if you can. The band is on the screen; three photos of a typical pallet turn it into a firm written offer.
02The split in writingWhat is a sale, what is a free collection and what is a clearance, on one page, before anything is booked.
03Window booked around the gateTrade and manufacturing sites with forklifts and yards; the run is long, so a stack that is sorted and counted gets the best figure. Say whether there is a forklift and the hours the gate is open; a hand load is priced up front, not on the invoice.
04Counted at the truckThe driver counts with your person at the dock and the docket carries the count and the grades. Repairable cores are credited and the clearance line is netted on the same docket.

Buying pallets

Can I buy pallets in Nowra and South Nowra as well?

Yes. New and used pallets are delivered to Nowra and South Nowra from our yard at Prestons: Australian standard 1165 graded new, A, B or C, Euro 1200 x 800, heat treated export pallets, plastic, heavy duty and custom sizes, with the grade and the count on the quote and on the docket. Published from-prices are on what pallets cost and the grades on the grade scale; lots of fifty or more are delivered on a vehicle that fits the dock, and the same truck takes the sorted empties away when the count is there.

Buying and selling on one account is the usual arrangement for a site in Nowra: a standing order of the grade you ship on, and the inbound stack sold back on the same run. Pallet supply has the stock; get a pallet price starts the order.

Questions about pallet collection in Nowra and South Nowra

When is a pallet pickup free in Nowra and South Nowra?

The pickup is priced in the written offer because Nowra and South Nowra is outside Greater Sydney, netted against what the pallets earn. From sixty sound standard pallets it usually comes out in your favour, and you see the figure first.

Which suburbs around Nowra and South Nowra do you collect from?

Bomaderry, Berry, Huskisson, Ulladulla, Albion Park Rail and Kiama, and anywhere else on the way. A short stack next door often makes the count with yours.

Do you buy the pallets or just take them?

Reusable stock is bought. Sound standard 1165 pallets earn the most, repairable cores are credited, Euro and odd sizes are bought in their own stack, and broken timber is a clearance line. The written offer shows each line.

What if we have no forklift?

Say so when you send the count. A hand load changes the pickup and it is priced up front rather than appearing on the invoice afterwards.

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.
