We're more than a pallet company — we're Oakland neighbors. Here's how we give back to the community that built us.
Oakland Pallets was born in Oakland, and we're deeply invested in the health of this community. We hire locally, source locally, and believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back.
Employment: 90% of our team lives within 15 miles of our facility. We offer competitive wages, health benefits, and ongoing training. Several of our senior team members started as entry-level sorters and worked their way up.
Environmental stewardship: Our recycling operation keeps millions of pounds of wood waste out of East Bay landfills every year. We also partner with local community gardens to provide free mulch from our wood recycling process.
Education: We host facility tours for local school groups and community organizations, teaching about recycling, sustainability, and supply chain operations. If you'd like to schedule a tour, reach out to us.
We believe that a strong local business should strengthen its community. When you work with Oakland Pallets, you're supporting Oakland jobs, Oakland families, and Oakland's environmental health.
