How can I get rid of a wooden pallet

987654

Had some aggregate delivered & they left it on a pallet.

I now have an unwanted pallet which is too big to get in my car - and anyway it seems a shame to dump it.

I don't have a wood burner - or I would be tempted to chop it up. Have put it on Freecycyle & so far no takers.

How can I get rid of it?

Save it until November, the kids will take it to put on the bonfire.

Chop it up a put it in the Wheelie bin.

Assuming you ordered from a builders' merchant, they may come and take it away again if you phone them up.

Is it a cheap and nasty one or a decent one?

It's a decent one (I think).

It came via a haulage company so I don't think they would bother coming to collect.

Where we live, not many people pass by, so not sure it would get taken - but worth a try.

check you weren't charged for a deposit on it if it a good quality pallet.

use it as timber to build a multi-tiered plant stand as per my query
or compost box, pergola etc.

Three wired together make a fabulous compost bin.

I dismantled a couple and made some large planters for veg outside the back door. Both have a decent crop of runner beans on the go at the mment.

One of ours has been made into a new roof for our neighbours greenhouse, the other ones are slowly being broken up to use on the fire, usually by my husband and friends in a drunken state!

Your best bet is to either break it up and dump it or hang onto it until November.

could you make some raised beds for your veg out of it? I did some and they are lovely.
