Today: 7 listings on Craigslist for Free- Wood Pallets: 57 pallets were listed and 2 other listings stated: come back, we have endless supply. This got me thinking, you could make money with very little investment (time and gas), are creative, to either resell or broker pallets, or make items for resell with free wooden pallets.
I am amazed how many people give away wood pallets. Most businesses that order larger quantities will have pallets, plus what is available on craigslist and other sources.

they are all good ideas, i currently work for a company who does this kind of work with recycled pallets. although we are running out of ideas, the items we make still sell but there must be other ideas of what to do. i dont suppose you would like to share yours if you have any, i would really appreciate it. thanks for your time and will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Guys. This is the best way to pull the pallets apart if you want to remove the nails and possibly plane the timber without damaging your tools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtPmUZ-k3aI Best, Savvas
I am interested in the best way for me to get rid of a lot of odd size pallets that are at my job site in Norcross, Ga.In the range of 150 or more. I am not sure if they are worth money for profit to a company or not? They are adding up fast. Any ideas are welcomed, thank you!
Seems to be too much labor involved in taking them apart to be used for other things. The spiral nails that are used to hold the pallets together make it very hard to take apart with out breaking them in to pieces.
James G.,
Please email me if you still have the pallets you spoke of .

I am looking for good hardwood pallets, I am wanting to build outdoor plating station for my veggies and flowers. a bench for setting.

Many pallets are treated with chemicals. Surely wouldn’t use them for firewood or kitchen utensils as mentioned above.
Great pic of CHEP pallets – the blue ones listed as pallet art. Those are owned by CHEP and are not for recycling. The company reclaims and reuses these. You may call them for pick-up. Again, they are the property of CHEP. Thanks, and have fun with all the rest.
