zimmerstutzen Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Holy crap Factories around here run ads of pallets for free 4 or 5 times a weeks and sometimes have to pay haulers to take them away. I have two buddies that heat their homes with pallet wood all winter long. But then again, an acquaintance who is big into crafts would buy the stuff rather than use "roadkill" that she must process herself. In fact, one cheap guy down the road, was told by wife that she wanted a corral for the families Easter pet (lamb) When she came home from work that evening there was a pen about 20 x 20 in the back yard made completely of pallets stood up and nailed together end to end. . Strange thing, it doesn't look too bad I would have expected a hideous, eyesore worthy of several zoning officer complaints. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I get klin dried #1 grade hardwood for around $3 a board foot. Pallet wood is like #3 grade. Maybe sells for $1 per. That is a rip off or a joke for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkthekid Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If anyone does want some pallet wood, check your local roofing supply company. We have mountains of them laying around and are grateful when people take them off our hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I guess about all I can say is there is a buyer for just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab4 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I can't believe Home Depot is that Desperate OR did they find the next greatest thing I know for the lazy woodworker this could be a gold mine but with a little ambition you can get it for free I know that people make some awesome things with pallet wood but why buy it all you have to do is look around you Not 100% convinced this is a stupid move/idea from HD - As Stoney stated above there's a buyer for everything Fab4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Well not sure how this all works in your area.. but around here.. companies don't like every Tom, Harry, and Joe snooping around their property to get pallets.. My brother has a sawmill business since the 1970's and he makes new pallets.. my neighbor has a used pallet business.. and a place my son works at has pallets all over the place and are always telling my son or anyone that works there that if they know someone that wants the pallets to have them come get em... so I told the neighbor.. he stopped in and they said no can do.. they are spoken for... yet the pallets still set there.. Talking with the neighbor guy about it and he claimed that many business's are like that.. and he speculates that it's because they just don't want people around on their property getting hurt or stealing stuff. Even though he is a legit business with a licence etc.. he still has a hard time with many places... yet they can't seem to find anyone to take them either.. just like the place my son works at.. There are a couple big dog business's that will go around and get them.. but.. they won't come get them unless they have a full big truck load so they just keep piling them up.. which in my book is probably just as much a safety hazard are having a smaller business guy come in to get them.. Now with this whole Home Depot thing.. maybe nobody will get a used pallet unless it's at Home Depot, LOL Personally I think companies should be required to recycle them anyway.. there is so much wasted lumber with pallets when they just crush them up and put them in the dumpsters. etc.. like a place I used to work at always did.. I could see maybe old busted up ones but really just toss a like new pallet out.. then the companies are always talking about going green... cutting cost etc etc.. but they throw these out.. Then again.. probably cost too much to deal with returning them or disposing of them.. so just throw them out.. just seems like a big waste..

ike Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I am now out of dried hard wood and if I want to buy any I get Popular from the lumber company ( Paxton Woods) for $2.20 per board foot. The way I figure it thaat skid wood coatabout $3 per board foot. No thanks. just look around for some place to buy wood at a reasonable price.
