Where could I find Pallets?

I have been looking for some pallets for hopping practice, but I can't
find any. Does anyone know where I could find some?
I herd they are really good for hopping onto.

You can find pallets behind most stores. I got some from behind a
newspaper office.
But first make sure you can take them for free. Most of the time you
can, but sometimes they want to keep them.

I was going to say at your local Newspaper too. Ours even puts an ad in
itself Titled "Free Pallets". These may not be the creme de la creme.
Naturally they'll use the best ones over again. But apparently they
accumulate. I got some once off their mountainous pile they looked fine
to me.

Other businesses (like the one I work for) dont accumulate quite so many
and therefore reuse reuse reuse. So asking would be a good idea.

Find where the Factories and Warehouses and Cash and Carry places are in
your area, go and cruise
around that district till you see a BIG pile of pallets in a yard. Go and
ask nicely if you can take some of them.

Alternatively do the cruise at the weekend and take any that are
stacked next to the skip (dumpter) and damaged.

I prefer stealing them from walmart.

Do I really have to say why this is ok?


If I had a place to put them, that would surly be where I got them
from

Call around to some stores, thats what i did, and most of them will give
u some free pallets. I actually called "the pallet store" and they
offered to give me free pallets after i told them i was a trials
unicyclist. Sometimes if u explain why u want them then it is easier to
get them

This is because there are pallets meant for only one use after which
they are considered trash. These are usually those smaller
(3feetx4feet). And then there are these that are meant to be brought
back to the sender so they can use them again. These cost a lot more and
are usually quite a much stronger.
