From One Man and His Van to a Circular Vision
What began in 2006 with Ian Leander collecting discarded wooden pallets from West London streets has grown into The Pallets Yard Ltd (TPYL). Repairing, reusing, and reselling pallets became more than a practical idea; it became a commitment to sustainability, community, and smarter logistics.
In 2013, Ruth-Anne Lynch joined as Co-Director, helping shape TPYL into the established, people-centred company it is today. Together, they've turned a one-man operation into a leading pallet recycling and recovery yard that supports businesses of all sizes across the UK.
Keeping Good Wood in Use
At TPYL, we recover, repair, and repurpose pallets to keep valuable wood in circulation and out of landfill. From small local traders to large logistics partners, we help businesses move goods efficiently while reducing waste and carbon footprint.
Based in Southall, West London, our team operates with care and expertise — equipped with forklifts, vehicles, and a hands-on workshop that ensures every pallet gets a second life. Whether you need pallet repair, bulk purchase, or clearance, we deliver sustainable solutions that make a tangible difference for our clients and the planet.
At the Heart of What We do
Recover
We collect used pallets and timber from across the supply chain, giving surplus and discarded materials a second life and keeping valuable resources in circulation.
Reclaim
We carefully salvage reusable wood and components for repair, resale, or creative projects, reducing waste and maximising the value of every pallet collected.
Repair
We restore damaged pallets to full working order on-site, extending their lifespan, lowering costs for customers, and preventing unnecessary waste or disposal.
Reuse
We supply repaired pallets and reclaimed timber to logistics, retail, and creative industries, helping close the loop and strengthen the circular economy model.
