iGPS plastic pallets: whose they are and how to return them
iGPS rents plastic pallets to shippers, so pallets bearing its name are its property. Return them through the route on iGPS's own site or the label on the pallet. Several states, including Illinois, Michigan and Kansas, regulate buying plastic pallets and crates, requiring ID, records or no-cash payment from recyclers.
Returning them
We couldn't read iGPS's current return instructions directly on our last check, so we don't repeat a phone number here. Use the contact route on iGPS's website or the details printed on the pallet's label.

Plastic in your numbers
The Pallet Fate Report counts pooled plastic pallets as returned to owner and keeps them out of the wood tonnage. WARM's dimensional lumber factors don't apply to plastic.
