I have a pallet of empty plastic bottles that need to be transported to Los Angeles. What is the best method of shipping with the lowest frieght cost. FedEx and UPS are a Rip off.
That is a fluctuating market. Currently in my area they are bringing about $5 for reusable ones that do not need any repairs. I have seen this go as high as $15 per pallet before. Herb
There is a whole book with a title similar to that , something like woodcrafting projects using recycled pallet wood. The author is a specialist who talks about everything from getting permission to cart them away, how to take them apart, how to run them through a jointer to get clean smooth wood, and how to maximize the usable sections. I had it from the library this summer so I know it is current. It included plans for a variety of furniture and other surprisingly large items. The author's favorite by the way was motorcycle pallets (big and often made from exotic woods).
How old are they? If they're slightly damaged and have a rustic look, take photographs of them from unusual angles against an off-white background and you can get $400 for each one on Etsy.
