Hunting For Free, Lightly Used, Wooden Pallets.

[MysteryChicken]

I'm located in East Tawas Michigan.

Hello, I need lots of free wooden
pallets. I need them for a coop build I wanna do in the later Spring.

If anyone is able to locate any in my area, have any, & not sure what to do with them, or know someone who has some, & is willing to give them away, let me know?

It'll be greatly appreciated.

I won't be able to travel a long distance to pick them up, so I'd prefer to meet at a closer location if possible. Dropping them off at our place would be awesome too.

If you need address of our house, or my grandpa's house(I keep my chickens there) PM me for the location?

Contact your local heating & air conditioning companies. The furnaces come in on pallets and some just put them in a pile by the dumpsters.

Well, it turns out our grainge doesn't give out their pallets for free. They reuse them. The only ones that are free for the taking is the ones they put out by the road, but there are non out there yet.

Where i live Craigslist Free section has new sources daily...but perhaps not as many to choose from as the industrial area businesses like tile and granite houses. Youtube has vids on how to identify if heat treated, or with potentially dangerous chemicals.

I"m not in your area but sometimes home depot, lowes, other hardware stores, and grocery stores will give you cheap or free pallets.

Good to know.

If any neighbors or friends are getting their houses remodeled, this could be a source of scrap wood as well. My friends are doing a full remodel and have a giant dumpster of scrap wood and shingles in their front yard, and let me take whatever from it.

I don't know anyone, doing a remodel of their house, but it's an idea.

I'll have to do some looking around then, cuz I'm not sure if we have one of those companies around here.

And defiantly post pictures of the coop you make. I love the way the pallet coops look and that they are made from repurposed materials. You are going to have a blast making the coop!
