Find Out More About Pallet Recovery

CEMEX offers a free collection of all branded CEMEX cement pallets (unbranded non-returnable pallets are subject to a charge).

Collections are actioned as soon as a minimum of 50 pallets have been accumulated (can be a mix of pallets).

Nationwide collections within 10 working days on average from request.

Useful Dos & Don'ts

  • Inform us, in advance, of any vehicle or site access restrictions
  • If you can only accommodate rigid vehicles, the maximum quantity that can be loaded is 250 pallets (550 pallets for an articulated vehicle)
  • Load within 1 hour* of our lorry arriving on site (to avoid demurrage charges as per the RHA)
  • Ensure pallets are stacked and ready to be loaded before requesting a collection
  • Load the pallets safely and efficiently onto our vehicle
  • Damaged pallets can be loaded (we repair them)

Make sure pallets are ready BEFORE our lorry arrives

Our lorries should be maximised – leaving room for our next pick up

*The whole process should take less than one hour if all the advisory points above are followed
