Scrapping pallets

[@Noble569]

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

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?

[@hotelphotography]

Good info. What kind of business would buy used pallets? Just curious.

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

I hope you have fun and it is a soothing activity for you

[@ScrapVulture111]

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...

[@holly5791]

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. 😊👍🏻

[@ScrapPalletMan]

This is literally the very first video I ever did. Literally the first

[@holly5791]

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...👍🏻

[@chrisbolton6598]

The pallets with the black HT stamp are heat treated. Dunno if they will pay more for those or not.

[@74Dyenamo]

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.

[@edwardmwalker3767]

You should have a trailer ! so that you can load many!

[@darrelturner9760]

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

[@ScrapPalletMan]

thanks. I will contact them and get them back their property. They are almost twice as heavy is standard 48x40s.

[@sshhh3131]

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.

[@papyluboya]

If you can add a trailer on your truck you can make more money

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

[@Airbrush208]

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.

[@thc3236]

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

[@thubprint]

This is really cool info! Looking forward to seeing what that ridiculous looking stack of wood pays :)

[@bluemoon4361]

$2x_____ = $

[@NatHenrickClarke]

I've saw where some places pay up to$6

[@francesjolly5106]

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!

[@benwade4156]

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

That's a super good price :-)

[@kcmarie1928]

What type of place pays 5.00? I am trying to locate these types of businesses

[@henryduke722]

I know one thing you're NOT lazy and you are a good worker

[@francesjolly5106]

Good honest recycling. Makes the world on it axis okay going round and round.

[@kellylarson3565]

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

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

[@kellylarson3565]

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

I see the blue ones especially at Walmart. Blueys are way heavy

[@kellylarson3565]

There a good work out. Just had a thought I'm going pallet hunting today. Yard work can wait.

[@hotelphotography]

@2 D I meant to whom, sorry. What companies buy them?

[@ronsolivais6976]

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.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

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.

[@50mi55ile]

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

You're actually picking those pallets up the wrong way !..... You're making it more difficult for yourself....pick them up from the top side....that way, they are easier to put down...you can do it in one easy move. Try it , you'll see what I mean. :-)

What's up Jayen... I tried it. It's tougher on my back that way. Too much bending to place the pallets on the stack.

Each to their own method I suppose.....I always pick them up with the top side towards me....easier to just slap them down onto the stack. I heard you say that you're 49.... I'm 61 and I've never hurt my back by doing it the way that I've suggested. I enjoy watching your videos anyhow. :-)
