On my project, the subcontractors are responsible for reusing wood palettes and, if applicable, selling them back to the manufacturer. Is there a way to record this?

I think it would be by the standard procedure, quantity and either by weight or volume.

I have a project where the GC's superintendent has taken for his own use the wood pallets for materials delivered to the project site. I am assuming that this action would count as the pallets being salvaged and therefore diverted from the landfill and would help me with my Construction Waste Mangagement calculations, right?

Tim – I think so. The pallets are being diverted. I would suggest getting a letter from the GC stating that he has taken possession of the pallets for his own use as backup – in case there is any question from GBCI.
