Keeping pallets in circulation
PALLET RECOVERY, REPAIR AND SUPPLY FOR SMES AND MAJOR SUPPLY CHAINS
We recover, repair and supply quality second-hand wooden and plastic pallets to SMEs and major supply chains across London, the UK and beyond. Based in Southall, our hands-on team helps keep pallets in use and supports efficient, practical operations for businesses of all sizes across the supply chain.
From One Man and a Borrowed Van to a Circular-Economy Partner
It all began in 2006 with Ian Leander, one man and a borrowed van collecting discarded pallets around West London. Since then, TPYL has grown into a trusted circular-economy partner for SMEs and major supply chains.
Today, TPYL recovers, repairs and supplies second-hand wooden and plastic pallets across London, throughout the UK and to selected international partners
In 2013, Ruth-Anne Lynch joined as co-director when the company was incorporated, developing TPYL’s finance, administration and strategic direction.
Ian leads operations, logistics and customer-facing work, while Ruth-Anne drives growth, partnerships, external engagement and back-office systems. Together, they continue to strengthen TPYL’s circular vision.
Keeping Second-Hand Pallets in Use for Our Partners
We recover, repair and supply high-quality, affordable wooden and plastic pallets, supporting businesses of all sizes across the supply chain. From our Southall site, we collect pallets from commercial locations, sort and repair them for reuse, and supply them to customers locally, nationally and internationally.
Through our Reclaim Wood Initiative, we can provide reclaimed pallet timber for creatives, community groups and organisations delivering wellbeing or skills-based projects.
Whether you need one-off or regular collections or deliveries, we offer practical, reliable pallet services that keep pallets in use, reduce waste and support operations across logistics, warehousing, transport, retail and other sectors.

How we keep pallets in use
Recover
We collect unwanted or surplus wooden and plastic pallets from commercial sites and sort them at our Southall yard. This helps businesses clear space and is the first step towards preparing usable pallets for reclaiming timber, repair and reuse.
Reclaim
We sort pallets by type, size and condition to identify which can be repaired or reused. Usable timber from damaged pallets is primarily kept for future pallet repairs, with additional reclaimed wood offered through our Reclaim Wood Initiative to creatives, community groups or businesses that can repurpose it.
Repair
We repair pallets that can be safely restored, replacing damaged boards or blocks as required. Repaired pallets are checked for strength and stability before being returned to use across logistics, warehousing, transport, wholesale and retail businesses, and larger pallet yards.
Reuse
We repair pallets that can be safely restored, replacing damaged boards or blocks as required. Repaired pallets are checked for strength and stability before being returned to use across logistics, warehousing, transport, wholesale and retail businesses, and larger pallet yards.

A Trusted Circular Partner You Can Rely On
Working with Leading Organisations











Recognised Supplier Within Team Heathrow
Since joining Team Heathrow in 2023, we gained Approved Supplier status with Tier 1 organisations Wilson James, Bradford Swissport and Grundon.
We were featured on BBC News on 12 November 2025, shortly before Heathrow’s third runway bid approval on 25 November.
Why organisations choose The Pallets Yard
“Over the years, we have developed a long-standing and successful business relationship with The Pallets Yard. This is a reliable local company, that provides good-quality pallets at affordable prices. The two Directors, Ian and Ruth-Anne, are very professional in their approach to business, and we often take time out to discuss general business issues, share views, and have a good laugh with each other.
We would highly recommend this organisation.”
“Highly recommend purchasing from this company, very friendly and efficient staff and great service and prices.”
“Wilson James was introduced to The Pallets Yard through Heathrow Procurement following a meeting at the local Chambers of Commerce. This led to collaboration across one of our sustainability initiatives, driving the re-use of wooden pallets. Their dedication to business development made it effortless to support their journey, resulting in improved carbon accounting, reporting, and their value proposition as a business.
Now an approved supplier to Wilson James and part of Team Heathrow, the partnership has showcased the value that comprehensive support can provide, and a successful re-use pilot scheme pointed the way to more efficient operations. We remain highly optimistic about the future of this partnership and the positive impact it can have on both sustainability and efficiency.”
“I have partnered with Ian and Ruth-Anne with regards to my pallet requirements for my supply chain needs during the past 5 years. They are a small team and this allows them to be super flexible with quick turnaround. Often pallets are required super quick as volumes fluctuate and they have been able to react quickly to this volume change to assist our business. Their prices are very competitive, which in today’s supply chain challenge is a big plus. Ian and Ruth-Anne are a pleasure to work with, also willing to help at a ‘drop of hat’!”
“All thanks to The Pallets Yard for their outstanding services and delivering pallets even on the same day whenever requested. Good quality pallets and very supportive staff.”
“Very quick and efficient service.
Great quality pallets at good rate with super quick delivery. Great communication and were able to help with pallets for return.
Superb! Will be using regularly!”
