Pallet rules by state

Some states ban wooden pallets or wood waste from landfills, and many protect the owners of marked pallets. We publish a state's rules only after reading the statute or regulation itself. 11 states are checked so far; the rest list the agency to ask.

Last reviewed October 27, 2026. Not legal advice. What changed

States are shaded only where we have read the statute or regulation. “Not yet verified” means we haven't confirmed the rules, not that there are none.
