About

Tri County Pallet & Mulch

A family-owned recycling management company with facilities in Akron and Cleveland, Ohio, it has operated since 2001. It serves manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and food banks across Ohio and surrounding states. Services include pallet recycling, indoor storage, trailer staging, custom pallets, mulch, and scrap wood removal.

Buyers can order 48x40 GMA pallets, plus custom and odd-size pallets, on a 24-hour lead time. Heat-treated pallets are ISPM-15 compliant for international export. Mulch is produced from recycled pallets, with bulk pickup or delivery for landscapers across Ohio. Food Grade Indoor Storage is climate-controlled. Semi-trucks and 300+ trailers and flatbeds support on-time delivery. A dedicated trailer parked at the customer's dock lets loads run on the customer's schedule, and a buy-back program turns surplus and broken pallets into cash.

DirJournal's Perspective

Editorial analysis

The service list runs from pallet recycling and scrap wood removal to custom pallets, heat-treated pallets and mulch made from recycled pallets. That ties pallet supply to wood-waste handling, since pallets can be bought, sold back, or ground into mulch. Capacity is stated in figures: 80,000 square feet of warehouse space and more than 300 trailers and flatbeds, plus semi trucks. Two Ohio facilities, in Akron and Cleveland, each have a named pallet manager. Management roles are split by product line, with separate managers for pallets, mulch, custom pallets and transport. Founded in 2001, the company states it has been trusted for more than two decades.

I make a trip about every week for the last 6 months or so with 120 pallets and I'm apart of the pallet jockey program. Currently with gas prices going up its starting to make the run to Akron not worth the trip. Im driving 2 hours from west virginia. So hopefully in the near future the pay rate will go up a little bit and make the trip worth my while.

Don’t bother with this place- I rushed through traffic to make it there before 3pm because that’s what the voicemail says, got there at 2:30 for them to tell me they close at 3p but stop taking pallets at 1:45 told me the manager herself

I called TCP for a quote to buy and sell my pallets. TCP called me back very quickly, supplied me with a competitive price on my pallets (Buying and selling). I placed my first order soon after, and the pallets showed up on time. The pallets were exactly what I was looking for, and the pallets have been coming in consistently at high-quality level. TCP’s flexibility has been outstanding. A local, family owned company, TCP goes the extra mile to make this customer extremely satisfied. Keep up the good work! Thanks.
