need to get rid of crap pallets - terracore - 10-07-2016
I accepted a few dozen pallets for some DIY projects and I've used all the good ones. I have a half dozen or so that are left that were in bad shape (too broken up, half rotten, etc) to be of any use.
What's the best way to dispose of them? I noticed the green waste sign at the transfer station has "Untreated Pallets" as an accepted commodity but it's crossed out.
If anybody wants them (though for what use, I don't know, they are in poor shape... firewood?) I could deliver them for free within reasonable distance of OLE/HPP area but only if somebody wants all of them, not a onsies twosies type thing.

Maybe those pallets could have "an unplanned release of smoke".

If you put them at the bottom of the mulch pile, you'll have some good dirt in a few months.

Remove the metal first.

It has always surprised me how quickly pallets rot, given how hard the wood is to start with.

Me too. They seem to last a long time if used under a roof but left outside not even Thompson's water seal makes a difference. I'll probably wind up just throwing the junk pallets into our vacant lot and letting them melt into the jungle.

Thanks for the offer. I think the pallets have a home but if not I'll certainly hit you up. Your test sounds interesting, what is it?

Stack them up near an unwanted weed tree or waiwi guava and light. Eliminate the unwanted plant and carbonate the pallets. Return with a magnet to pick up the nails after the ashes have cooled.
