Wood pallet 1.2m x 1m - Any value beyond firewood?!?

mrcheez

I recently had a delivery of tiles on a wood pallet, so need to get rid of it. Colleague I work with said that you can get a few bob for a wood pallet but I suspect that I'd get a euro for it at most.

So, any value in selling this wooden pallet or just good enough for a bonfire??!

A lot of DIY-people go crazy over wood pallets. According to donedeal, you can get a euro or two for them. People make furniture out of that. So yeah, give it a try, no harm in recycling that.

Get creative, people love that sh*t. Alternative is to come up with some sob or amazing adventure background story and you can maybe get 3 quid out of it!

Hmm sounds like a pallet is worth €50 so!

Do they have pallets in Italy?

Also there isn't much blue about the pallet so I assume not.

Cheap are in Jamestown Business Park and they collect as many pallets as they possibly can .
Their blue pallets are refused

Blue pallets or euro pallets are worth about 5.. Probably wort more but that's what you will get in a pallet yard...

Think how much you can pay for a small bundle of fire kindling in a garage. So if you have a fire, convert it to kindling and maximise it's value.
