The shipping cost for a pallet of trash cans from our factory to the East Coast depends on several key factors. As a dedicated trash can manufacturer, we ship nationwide and can provide a clear estimate once we have your specific order details.

First, the size and weight of the pallet matter most. A standard pallet measuring 48x40 inches and weighing around 1,500 to 2,000 pounds (including multiple trash cans stacked securely) typically falls within LTL (less-than-truckload) freight rates. For example, shipping a pallet of 30 to 50 medium-duty plastic trash cans from our factory in the Midwest to a destination on the East Coast—such as New York, Philadelphia, or Atlanta—usually ranges between $250 and $550. This range covers basic LTL service with standard transit times of 5 to 10 business days.

Second, the distance from our factory to your specific East Coast location influences the price. Shipping to closer regions like North Carolina may cost less (around $200–$350), while farther destinations like Maine or Florida can be higher (up to $600–$700). Additional factors include fuel surcharges, accessorial fees (like liftgate service or residential delivery), and the carrier you choose.

For heavier or bulkier pallets (e.g., steel trash cans or oversized models), the cost can increase to $500–$800 due to higher weight class and space used. We recommend using our in-house shipping team to compare rates from trusted carriers like Old Dominion, XPO, or YRC, ensuring you get the best price.
