I live near Fresno in central california and a lot of places here buy used pallets. The farmers use them at their fruit packing sheds. There is a place near me that buys all pallets even the ones that are in bad shape . They take them apart and use whatever boards are O.K. to make new pallets. The owner told me that some of the larger fruit packing operations will need several hundred new ones a year. I know they were paying between $4-$7 each depending on how much of it can be used.
