    Wood recycling

    Found a small wood yard down by the port where I bring most of my metal. They pay $35 a ton for clean (no paint, large pieces of metal, plastic, garbage, etc.) wood. I've been looking for a place to dump this stuff! Plus, they're always tossing pallets for free around here. Anyone else ever deal with a place like this?

    Seems like a lot of work to rip all the nails out of the pallets. We have places around here that pay $2-6 per complete pallet. I guess if you have a lot of large clean wood you could charge to haul it off and make a little turning it in, but all the wood around here I could get would have metal or paint. Would not be profitable for me.

    They're around the back of the port off of Route 32. If you make a right when you're leaving Weitsman's instead of a left to go back to 787, you'll pass them on your left just before the CSX crossing. It's a little place, I must have passed it three or four times before I even noticed they were there.
