Same place that you met me to grab that wire. Around back we always have a bunch. There are like 3 creepy weirdos in trucks that show up randomly and take them to resell. If you get there before them they are all yours. ---

I asked around and so far home depot seems to be ok. As long as the pallets aren’t blue you can take them. Also, harbor freight usually has a stack or two each week up for grabs. ---

> [@Joe\_Omerta](#): > > As long as the pallets aren’t blue you can take them. . Blue pallets are usually CHEP pallets and places will never give those away as CHEP buys them back. We had a problem where the company that takes our old pallets was stealing our CHEP pallets and reselling them for $2 and we had to buy them back for $16. :banghead: ---
