Chep is a manufacturer that makes and sells pallets. They have wooden pallets, plastic pallets, display pallets, automotive pallets, and aviation pallets.
Most wooden pallets you can get from companies that already receive them. Some companies set the wooden pallets out for people to grab whenever they want. other companies will sell trade the pallets back in for some change. i am not sure where to buy them though.
"Palstic pallets look and function the same as traditional wooden pallets, but have some other benefits. They are easier to clean, and weigh less than the wooden ones."
Plastic pallets are generally more expensive than wooden pallets but are more durable and easier to clean. If price is no object then plastic pallets are better.
Many of the wooden pallets are treated with industrial pesticides. This is a concern for many. This is one reason why plastic pallets are beneficial as compared with wooden ones; they aren't treated with insecticides. Also Wooden pallets are often constructed out of wood that has lots of spliters. Caution must be used when handling them. This is another benefit of plastic pallets over wooden pallets-no spliters. A plastic pallet is water proof compared to a wooden one. In adddition, a plastic pallet generally lasts about 2 to 3 years longer than wooden pallet.
You can gain more information about wooden pallets at the wikipedia 'pallet' page which gives you information about all the different pallet features.
Plastic pallets are more pliable and easy to clean and reuse. Wooden pallets tend to be less pliable, and are prone to typiacal wood breakdown/rotting with time.
One great use for old wooden shipping pallets is to make a compost bin with them. All you need is four or five pallets and some screws. Anyone who can use a drill can do it.
The first place that I would check would be your local kijiji website. Another great place is craigslist. You should be able to find many free wooden pallets.
You could possibly make a half of the price of the original cost of the pallets. There is a market for used wooden pallets as it has proved to be more cost effective. Offering them for sale to individuals through classified ads may get you the best price. Companies that come and pick them up probably won't pay more than a couple dollars per pallet, but at least you'll get rid of them.
The best replacement pallets for sale you can buy is in the city, specifically in Manhattan at the 66th street apple store they probably have everything there.
There is a great website dedicated just to the sale of pallets. They can custom make your pallets and pick up old ones. I'd never guess but it looks as if they do everything regarding pallets. Try this site: palletsbyicfo.com
