Store Support Services
PWADC Store Support Services provide practical, behind-the-scenes solutions that help retailers operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and manage day-to-day challenges with confidence. These services are designed to save time, control costs, and keep stores running smoothly.
Cardboard Recycling
PWADC offers a cardboard recycling program available to all member stores, helping reduce waste while returning value back to retailers.
Cardboard must be baled and placed on a 40” x 48” pallet with the store number clearly marked on two sides. Bales are delivered to the distribution center, weighed, and transported to a recycling facility. Retailers then receive credit based on the weight of recycled materials.
To get started with cardboard recycling, contact Carol Dawson at 205-481-2390.
Equipment Repairs
PWADC provides repair services for pump-up and electric pallet jacks, helping minimize downtime and extend the life of essential store equipment.
If a pallet jack requires repair, retailers can contact Jimmy Smith at 205-481-2382 to schedule pickup. Once inspected, an estimate is provided prior to any repair work being completed. Equipment is returned promptly after repairs are finalized.
Reclamation Program
The PWADC Reclamation Program offers a simple, efficient way to receive credit for authorized damaged items distributed through the warehouse.
Retailers collect eligible items using leftover banana boxes and return them to the warehouse for processing. This program helps reduce labor, save time, and recover value on damaged merchandise.
For additional details or assistance, contact Scott O’Brien at 205-481-2438.
