Recycling Pallets!

I have a buyer here that will pay 1$ for pallets in almost any condition as long as they are usable. I have collected about 20 this week and am going to try to see if it is worth while to make a few extra bucks. So far it does not seem worthwhile at 1$ each unless you can pick up alot of pallets at one location to cut down on the cost of gas. I can only fit 35 pallets in my trailer. I am going to talk to them and see if they could give me at least 1.50$ if I supply them regularly. Most store I picked up at were happy to give them to me except the mall when security told me I cant take them and I had to leave lol

I have a semi-local buyer ( in charlotte nc) that pays $2.25/each. However, they will only buy the 40"x48" 4-way pallets. A 4-way pallet are the pallets that have the cut out sides so that a forklift can use the pallet on all four sides.

Check craigslist in your area under the "free" tab. Between my truck and trailer I can haul 30 pallets per trip. Also, alot of the companies want you to take the good pallets AND the bad ones, if you will do as they ask, you can get them to agree to a monthly or weekly pick up, by doing so, you get a guaranteed stream of income.

With bad pallets, I make Chicken Coops, Rabbit Hutches, Compost Bins and quite sturdy small buildings on our paintball field. Not to mention the awesome bon fires. Peace Out!
