Where to get free pallets?

Excited by these projects but short on pallets? Here are reliable spots to source them for free:

• Bulky waste collection areas
• Large DIY stores (such as Leroy Merlin)
• Construction sites (like nearby home builds)
• Stores receiving palletized goods (furniture, appliances, etc.)
• Commercial zones

Pro tip: Visit stores in the evening at closing time, just before trash collection.

Happy pallet hunting! 😀
