Pallets in Akron & Canton, OH

In short

Polymer country. Bulk bags, drums and a footprint problem that a 48x40 does not solve. We serve Akron & Canton weekly, shared with cleveland from 10400 Evendale Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45241, 232 miles and roughly 3 hours 30 minutes away — buying used pallets and cores, delivering graded recycled and custom-built stock, and recycling everything that cannot be resold.

What makes Akron & Canton different

The Akron–Canton polymer and rubber cluster ships an unusual proportion of its output in flexible bulk containers and 55-gallon drums. A filled FIBC slumps outward past the deck edge of a 48x40, and four drums simply do not seat on it. This market buys 48x48 squares at a rate that surprises people who assume the GMA footprint is universal.

How we run the lane

Shared route day with Cleveland, which keeps the per-pallet freight sensible on a 232-mile lane. Green, Barberton, Massillon, North Canton and the Route 21 corridor are regular stops.

The local pallet market

Strong two-way lane: we deliver squares and collect mixed cores, so most Akron–Canton accounts qualify for the round-trip rate. We also see a steady flow of chemically stained units here, which are segregated at our intake belt and never enter the mulch stream — worth knowing if you are the one generating them.

Access in the polymer belt

Shared route day with Cleveland, which keeps per-pallet freight sensible on a 232-mile lane. Green, Barberton, Massillon, North Canton and the Route 21 corridor are regular stops. Yard space is generally good here, which means flatbed collection works well and stock is more often under cover than not.

Squares, drums and the chemically stained fraction

The Akron–Canton polymer and rubber cluster ships an unusual proportion of its output in flexible bulk containers and 55-gallon drums, which is why this market buys 48 × 48 at a rate that surprises people who assume the GMA footprint is universal. It also generates more chemically stained units than any lane except the Kanawha Valley.

  • Strongest 48 × 48 demand per capita of any market we serve.
  • Four drums at 500 lb each is 2,000 lb on four small contact circles — four-stringer builds are standard here.
  • Filled FIBCs slump outward; measure a settled bag, not a nominal size.
  • Chemically stained units are segregated at our intake belt and never enter the mulch or bedding stream.
  • Good two-way lane: we deliver squares and collect mixed cores, so most accounts qualify for the round-trip rate.
