Here are 3 ideas about where you can get pallets for free:
1. Look first on your local Craigslist page, as people often use pallets for free to eliminate them.
2. If you don't locate any free pallets in your local classifieds, consider going to local businesses, like grocery stores or local manufacturers, to see if they can supply you with a few pallets they no longer need.
3. In a worst-case scenario - you may need to spend $2-3 to pick up a pallet or two from a local supplier, but even at this price, the material is pretty cheap - compared to buying new lumber.
