About using pallets

Dee on Mar 26, 2015Try freecycle.org and see if there is a group in your area. People post items they no longer need/want (from scrap metal to furniture) or items they are looking for. It's a way to keep items from ending up in landfills.. You should be able to get rid of your boulders this way, and you can post that you are looking for pallets. Also check local businesses, especially flooring stores for their unused and unwanted pallets. If you just spread the word, you should find lots.Helpful Reply

Vintage Headboards on Mar 26, 2015I would go to some local industrial parks and drive around back of the buildings. Ask first if they are going to re-use them. You'd be surprised - there are a lot of company that throw them out. Be careful of the chemicals stored on top of the pallets - AVOID THEM!Helpful Reply

Judith on Mar 27, 2015Some trucking cos. use pallets for incoming but they don't reuse them. There's a co. near my home, they leave their old pallets in a pile near the street, with a sign that reads "Free Help Yourself" . They don't want to bother trying to sell them, but don't want them hanging around.Helpful Reply
