    Cruising FBMP today (well, technically yesterday as it’s :09 past midnight)and I see an add for free plastic pallets. Messaged, no reply for a while. Ask again, really nice.. got a reply to come get some. :D I recognized the pics and believed it was the place I score from before. And it was! Looks like I was one of the first there. Took all I could and was selective. Total of 26 between truck and trailer.

    This is the scene. Was 4:45 when I left. They’re only available 7-5, behind locked gate. Asked for more and she told me to take as many as I wanted. If the weather cooperates, I’ll get two more loads tomorrow, one in the AM and one at lunch, leaving a load at work.

    More pics to come. If anyone is close to Camp Hill PA and wants some HMU. I’ll give you the details as to where they are.

    :bug: Sweet find. Grabbing some for dad too? Dont see those that often around here. Does this mean you'll be hoarding more firewood too? :D

    I would definitely use them, thanks. I have 4 or 5 now but eventually I’d like to swap out all my wood ones for plastic.

    I dropped 4 termite riddled pallets in the dumpster yesterday. I’m worried there will eventually be nails all over the the wood yard if I don’t switch to plastic.

    Just a quick look on FBM $10 each in Wallingford and $5 each in Waterbaury. I PMed the local guy asking if any were free.

    Yes! I was hoping for that award. Lol.



    Round 2 this morning. Got a bit wet and it’s cold. My hands were numb at the end but it’s all worth it. 24 in the trailer, 10 in the truck.

    Dang it. Where’s the dislike. Unfortunately they are at the end of a dock for a warehouse and entry to that is through a 8’ gated fence, which is locked up after hours. If there’s any chance I can get some for ya, I will.

    Definitely a great score. I’m primarily getting for dad and my son. Plan to keep some and replace the weak crappy style I got at this place last time.

    Lol.
    I could hardly heave them up there when I was done. They ain’t light and I’m not some meathead. That was a workout! Of course, I was trying to hurry.
