I am Pond owner with fathead minnow. Their survival rate was too low. My friend suggested me to use wooden pallets to increase their production. Now I am planning to buy some pallets to improve the production of fathead minnows. From where can I get best quality wooden pallets?
Around here, it is hard to give pallets away. We use a lot of them for camp fires, making apple butter, etc.
Some friends own a Battery Mart. They get many pallet loads of batteries every week. The batteries are then sold individually. They are glad to have people come get them for free.
When I was still working at a large electronics hardware company, we got dozens of pallets and big wooden crates every week. I can't even begin to think of how many of the wooden crates were turned into sheds, rabbit hutches, etc., and how many projects and campfires our scrap wood products provided.
We really wanted to have people come pick them up, otherwise we would have to throw them in our dumpsters. Non-scheduled dumpster emptying was a lot more expensive than our twice weekly scheduled dumpster emptying.
I'd just ask around. You should be able to find a lot of companies gladly willing to give them away for free.
