Unfortunately didnt take picts of the load, mainly old cabinets. Commercial load. Wish prices were a little better but at least they have improved a little. Instead of being able to tip out, had to hand unload into 3 gondolas because that yard doeant have a truck scale.
You get paid for pallets? Like wooden skid type pallets?
The short answer to that is: YESQuote:

We have a 30yd dumpster at work just for pallets. We pay out the nose to dispose of them...
You might want to consider looking for a dealer. Your area might differ, but I know there is a market. It depends on the size. Too large or too small no one might not want them.Quote:

I've heard them called a "4-way" as in you can pick them with forks from any of the four sides of the pallet.
Compliments of Freightquote.Quote:
the standard pallet size is 40” x 48”, Below are the most common pallet types.
Two-way pallets: Pallets with forklift openings on only two ends. Also referred to as “unnotched” pallets.
Partial four-way entry pallets: Pallets with standard forklift openings on two ends and smaller side openings on the remaining ends.
Four-way entry pallets: Pallets with forklift openings on all sides for full accessibility.
We sell our 40X48 pallets for a buck apiece the rest junk, broken, odd size are sent to one of our other yards, ran thru a rotto chopper and ground up, a mag on the belt pulls out all the nails, staples and steel, then dyed red, brown, black or left natural, dryed then sold as mulch.
Used pallets in my area sell for $8 - $14 each ...
I chop all the pallets i get for fire wood even go to my local pallet yard and they give away all the unsalvageable ones
Jiffy have you tryed putting up an add ppl may take them for fire wood you could poss even charge them a few cents each worth a try
A few years ago I looked into selling pallets. In Southern Maine I think I found one place that may buy them for like $1 each. The place was too far from me to make the drive worth it, but may be worth it for other Mainers who are closer. I forgot what town though, Sorry.
