Scrapping pallets is a service to those companies who do not recycle and do not reuse shipping pallets. / scrappalletman Be awesome, stay awesome - do your thing.
Had you considered selling them direct to a business that needs them instead of taking them to a wholesaler (pallet yard)? Cut them out and charge a direct buyer 5 - 10/pallet. Out of those 1st 9 pallets, you would have made $45 - $90. Out from the stored batch you have in your shed you would have netted close to $215, all by cutting out the middle man.
It would take two days and a whole bunch of hassle. No way. like in any business, there's a thousand different directions we can all go but we need to focus on a few and do it well. Pedaling pallets to many different retailers certainly ain't my gig. What's the retailer wanted fifty a month? Where would I get?
Hi, I just started watching you and find it very encouraging. I am a 70 year old woman and now that I am retired I need a little revenue on the side. I only have the energy to pick cans and bottles. I still have a vehicle so I can pick a lot in one day. It is the mind set I find hard sometimes. It is getting easier and watching you helps a lot. Thank you for sharing your days.
ya good info on the twist repetition moves. I used to twist my knees getting on and off my motorcycle with mass repetition. Hurt them both and took 5 years to heal one all the way, 98% anyway lol. I do a little hop skip twist in the air move now...
I think this is one of the best videos I have seen that you have made. Oh if people only realized that once you mess your back up that you cannot undo the damage. Sure, there is surgery, but who wants to go through that and most people that I know, who have had back surgery, it’s never ending. I have had scoliosis since I was 14 years old. I have had to learn, through the course of my life, how to do things differently...like using leverage for instance, and not actually lifting. Most people don’t know how to not hurt themselves. You are giving such valuable information and I hope people are REALLY listening! Thank you for being so kind as to share this info with your viewers. 😊👍🏻
Good video. I just started watching your channel. Chep USA (blue) pallets and Peco (red) pallets are both 4 way pallets. Not two way. They have that massive area (more Chep than Peco) to slide forklift forks or pallet jack forks. I've done both as I have 18+ years in the grocery industry! When pallets come in on the trailers they are staggered. One side ways and one length wise. That rotation charges every row. I've discovered it's just as easy to stab the width wise sideways and just pull it off the trailer. A little wider, but watch what your doing and you'll do fine.
I like your philosophy on what your service is and I know the feeling of not wanting to look shady driving behind the stores. Do you ever go inside and talk to anybody about taking pallets on a regular basis. Right now I do this just to have spending money for myself but maybe I can store them in my garage and do this more aggressively. Anyways nice videos you do and you seem like a really good dude. God bless you friend.
Ron Solivais thanks Ron. I don't normally go into any stores asking, but if someone is out back I'll talk to them and ask. Often times they say take them. They usually set them by the dumpsters so pallet recyclers grab them instead of going into the dumpsters.
I drove for in hunt and we contracted with chep pallets to haul them to and from their different compacts that were good customers we also hauled their white pallets to be destroyed in a pallet crushers
awesome!the blue chep pallets are owned by chep,they rent thm out,they now some are going to get lost so they have a deposit on them,they pay 1.25 each to pick up at your location or 2.50 each if you want to bring to them,if interested call the number on the side of the pallet-peace
tell us when was the last time chep paid you a deposit.I could get tractor trailer loads that were going to the landfill.Chep said they would pick them up. When I asked for a deposit they said I would receive $0 for them. .so they went to landfill.
Great video I'm starting to re-purpose the 2x4's on skids rather than buy stock 2x4's from Lowe;s and Home Depot for my Airbrushed Art cornhole game Sets, great money saver, those frame boards are much better quality than their stock boards, there is no sorting hours finding straight ones. I think they must run the skid boards though a planer, they are that level and squared, thanks again great video.
So if you see pallets on the back side of a business u just grab them? Or only ones out by dumpster... I just started dumpster diving but interested in pallet info
Nice route with a good haul. I use to scrap pallets during my hour lunch break or down time during deliveries. My places to check were warehouses nearby, I would drive up and ask if they had a designated guy that recycled, which some did so I didn't load up, but I did find places that said it was first come so I would load up. Eventually I had a set route of warehouses along the way to the yard that I could collect from. The yard I recycled at paid $5 for pallets in great condition, I would take 16-24. Always had LUNCH or GAS $. Good times and a little exercise.
A person with the correct mindset would think 100 or 200.00 can make miracles happen. A storage unit isn't inexpensive so if the pallets alone pay to have a storage place, and it can be used for much more. I say smart!
At start of video I used to rebuild those pallets. The guy was rebuilding them for was getting 20 per pallet and I was rebuilding 200 of them a day. It’s good money working pallets
Hate to burst your bubble but a Colorado isn’t considered a half ton truck but really good information I have a F350 1 ton and a gooseneck considering getting into this for a little side money
I live in Sask. Canada we have a company that makes pallets that are painted blue. There is a $15.00 deposit paid per pallet by the stores. If the pallets are returned they receive there deposit back. The small stores don't return them because it's not worth there time to return a couple pallets. I have a route that takes about two hours to cover and I do it weekly.
I usually pick up between eight to ten a week. Free gas for the week. There some stores with hundreds of them. The pallets are really well made and heavy.
Never cash in signs you can go on ebay and sell them for$100 of dollars check the champs on work ever ok that is your lesson learned for today example that Burger King sign you picked up by the way I been watching you for about 4 month and I love every thing about it Mr God has blessed your soul
So how much do you get for the pellets you never showed that on your videos I see you load them up but I never actually see you take them anywhere to get the money for them
Last question 😂😄 could pallet selling be a full time job ? Like not using a long flat bed trailer but a 20ft utility trailer for hauling maybe 400 pallets a week

Gene Brewster I'm not sure what you are saying but I do lower the tailgate to get a second stack of pallets. I'm only comfortable with about 12 pallets on each stack as I'm driving. I've gone as high as 14 or 15 but it makes the truck drive odd
Great safety tips. Back pain is the worst. I know because of an accident when I was young. Now that Im older it has come back to haunt me. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

It doesn't matter the age there is some folks that buy them out there back yard and flip them to major competitors you just have look around follow the pallet collector 😂

Oh my, I had no idea. Well, you got off to good start! I’m still finding videos that I haven’t watched. I’ll keep searching them out...👍🏻
You should have a trailer ! so that you can load many!
It Sunday morning in India Paul , good morning. Have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍

you have great videos my son wants to give it a try thanks for the tips
The pallets with the black HT stamp are heat treated. Dunno if they will pay more for those or not.
This is really cool info! Looking forward to seeing what that ridiculous looking stack of wood pays :)
$2x_____ = $
I've saw where some places pay up to$6
Great Gertrude !...that’s a lot of pallets 👍
Informative video. Thank you.
that first one though magical

OK cool you inspired me to do this for extra cash. Good videos I'm a fan of your thanks for the help happy holidays
Merry Christmas Rob
Thought of you this morning when I went dumpster diving, found several pallets, lol.
Awesome awesome
Nice loading 👍🌺👍
Where do you take them to cash them in? I scrap metal but would like to know about pallets too.
Clad Queen I take mine to a Pallet company in Genoa Illinois. call around to pallet companies and see if they buy used pallets. Some do, some don't.

i use to work security and we would have problems with people who would steal the pallets all the time it became a huge problem
So if you see pallets on the back side of a business u just grab them? Or only ones out by dumpster... I just started dumpster diving but interested in pallet info
Only if they are obviously being discarded or if I have permission from the owners.
Nice route with a good haul. I use to scrap pallets during my hour lunch break or down time during deliveries.

That's a super good price :-)
What type of place pays 5.00? I am trying to locate these types of businesses
Cool find
great video! ive always wondered what the pallet part of your name meant. keep on truckin' and we'll keep watching!
A person with the correct mindset would think 100 or 200.00 can make miracles happen. A storage unit isn't inexpensive so if the pallets alone pay to have a storage place, and it can be used for much more. I say smart!
Where do you sell back the pallets?
Either to a Pallet Company or individual companies that use shipping pallets. $2 per pallet
At start of video I used to rebuild those pallets. The guy was rebuilding them for was getting 20 per pallet and I was rebuilding 200 of them a day. It’s good money working pallets
Good video
Nice job brother
Pallet recycling places in my area paying between $0.50 to $4 per pallet pending on condition
I wish I could get more than $2 per pallet. That would be nice
I live in hardware city new Britain Connecticut home of Stanley tools
@2 D Where do you sell the pallets?
@2 D I meant to whom, sorry. What companies buy them?

That's a good route. Do you get the full $15 deposit? Even though you are not the one that got the pallets in the first place
I usually pick up between eight to ten a week. Free gas for the week. There some stores with hundreds of them. The pallets are really well made and heavy.
I see the blue ones especially at Walmart. Blueys are way heavy
There a good work out. Just had a thought I'm going pallet hunting today. Yard work can wait.
Yes they send me a check once a month.
Magnifique, how much can you make per day with used pallets
Matters how much time you put in.
All pallets are used
might want to invest in a pallet jack. would come in very handy for a couple hundred $ investment.
Yes, one more! I have awesome, stuff on 5 below done it 3 times. And know there is security so I don't want to get in trouble
😀
NIEC!!!!!
U said U keep ur straps straight , if U put a twist or two on them then they will not vibrate in the wind . A old flat bedder trick just like me .
Thanks for the technique
I've seen a lot of dumpsters that have signs that say no wood, please.
Never cash in signs you can go on ebay and sell them for$100 of dollars check the champs on work ever ok that is your lesson learned for today example that Burger King sign you picked up by the way I been watching you for about 4 month and I love every thing about it Mr God has blessed your soul
There is such an amazing story behind what I did with the Burger King sign. Maybe I'll share that story in an upcoming video.
So how much do you get for the pellets you never showed that on your videos I see you load them up but I never actually see you take them anywhere to get the money for them
I have a playlist of all my pallet videos. $2 per pallet. Usually $40 or $50 per truckload
sweet deal man, how many do you get a month on average?
Hey Scott... could be 50 to 300. It's random.
I found lots of wood pallets but they’re painted blue. Is that okay ?
A store manager told me that you can't take the blue ones. I'm assuming the company reuses those.
Last question 😂😄 could pallet selling be a full time job ? Like not using a long flat bed trailer but a 20ft utility trailer for hauling maybe 400 pallets a week
Yo digo que si
Become the man that rebuilt them. And make the smaller guys do the foot work !

Hey Gary good to hear from you
What is normally the most wanted pallet size?
48 x 40 four-way pallets are the most popular and wanted
Thanks
Woooooooo
How much do you normally get per pallet?
$2
Hi nice
How much do pallets sell for in Florida??
I have no idea. In northern Illinois they're $2 a piece
You picking that pallet up like it's a feather
Every think about lowering the tail?
Gene Brewster I'm not sure what you are saying but I do lower the tailgate to get a second stack of pallets. I'm only comfortable with about 12 pallets on each stack as I'm driving. I've gone as high as 14 or 15 but it makes the truck drive odd
So you don't have to lift the first row over the tailgate @@ScrapPalletMan

Can a plank be missing?
As long as it is not on the end
This video should be on a safety webpage if it's okay with you can I post it
Where is exactly is this that// state and city? 😎😎
DeKalb Illinois
A second strap would have made it secure, this way it is possible that the pallets slide out starting with the one in the middle.
Here in Spokane Washington State those are worth $8.00 each.
Paul, just look at all the people that go to the Gym, and pay good money to exercise, and get the burn, and you get paid for getting yours.
Yes!
Where do u go to sell the pallets
There are a few pallet yards in my area that buy pallets. I also sell them to my scrap yard if they need some.
How come you don't stand them upright? Wouldn't it be easier
Unstable. They'll want to follow over.
Good day are you still recycling pallets?
I've got about 25 in my backyard right now. They are posted for sale online instead of Cleary pallet yard that went out of business
helo are the pallets worth anything
$2
We're can I sale them in grand Rapids mi
I would recommend looking in the phone book or Google pallet companies in your area

Do you call businesses and ask for pallets or just go to dumpster?
Almost always pallets people are throwing away
Who buys the pallets from you?
The pallet yard
I do not believe that is a half ton truck, a full size gmc 1500 is a half ton truck, mini pickups are 500 to 700 Lbs rated, so more like a 1/4 ton ( ;
