Pallets; re-using

[onesiedale]

Is there anyone out there who has a pallet collection service?
We have a stock of pallets on the yard, perfectly good, many only used once. However delivery drivers wont take them back.
Seems such a waste

Hello . What size are they , we collect but only 5ftx 4ft

Use them in wood burners and kindling ect .

You will shift a few on Facebook, and a few on eBay.
Some firms around here buy and sell them, have a Google for pallet companies in your area and ask them. At the very least they will take them for free but would expect something for them.

5 x 4's are easy, the sawdust man has all those.
It's the standard pallets and Euro pallets that are stacking up

I remember visiting a few woodburner setups 10-12 years ago doing research on possibly having one here.

Happily I decided against one, but I recall one chap with a HUGE Farm 2000 boiler, who was burning vast numbers of pallets. He also showed me the buckets and buckets of steel nails that he put in a small skip which then went for scrap!

Get your point , I was thinking on log burner /Rayburn scale , I got supply of old stilage type pallet from steel sheet processor at min , made of 2x3 timbers , it's to good to burn really , only used once , 3 or 4 runners across x 2 runners at ends ,
Give em a smash with sledge and they all fall off , put em thru old bench saw , and cut either side of nails and bin them, the heat is unbelievable if takes the pee out of oak and ash !
