There's always pallets around construction sites. Sometimes they reuse
them so you should probably ask first, unless it's in a dumpster or
something.

I just asked in some building center, if they have gageless palets, who
they can give me. One center said, i can take all the stuff which is
lying on a special place and in another I left my phone number and they
called me when they had some.
In less then a week I think, i had 9 palets.
Actually, i have 13 Palets. 5 of these are real europalets, I bulit 3 of
4 damaged and my neighbor had 2 other.

Just ask and wait and hope :).

greets,
Tassilo

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Pallets are used for transporting supplies, merchandise, boxes, etc...
For example, I got a pallet today that had 30 boxes of various products
that I sell. I get 2-3 a day. Stop by you can have all you want. It
is almost impossible to get rid of them.

I get pallets from work. Some I use as is, some I break down and use
the lumber for building other parts of the trials course. There are
lots of different sizes of pallets and lots of good wood in them.

Check out any store or business that often has large heavy deliveries.
Lots of places need to get rid of them and will give them to you. As
stated before, some businesses reuse the pallets, so don't just take
them.

Yup, I work for a car parts supplier to the trade, and we get maybe 15
pallets or so a week, with deliverys on top of them.

Anyone that came to ask for them would be given them, indeed would be
pleaded with to take them.

However, do ask, don't just take. We are beginning to get these plastic
pallets now, which are surchargable, ie if you don't return them, you
get charged for them.

If you are in the UK, then there are pallets known as GKN ones which are
usually blue, these are much heavier and stronger than regular pallets,
but again, some companies surcharge these, but not all. If you can, I
would get hold of some of these as they are much much tougher.

I just go to the back of home depot (or any home improvement store) and
take any good pallets I can find. They are happy to get rid of them, but
don't take the ones that say a specific company name on them. Trucks
pick them up and they are reused.

Construction sites and building centres are very good, as well as,
suprisingly enough, grocery stores.
