Hello.
Has anyone ever tried starting a recycling business specifically with pallets?

wooden.
Never, but in my industry we have hundreds a month we end up with. A colleague ended up finding a guy who takes them for free in large quantities, so I would say it is lucrative, because he TOOK HEAPS and was so excited at the time or he could just be a weirdo with a pallet fetish.
the cost of pallets to a business if you lose a registered one is roughly $30 per pallet i can recall correctly.
That's only for branded pallets such as Chep and Loscam which you rent from the company.
From a few years ago "Bunnings owes $11m for pallets" https://www.smh.com.au/business/bunnings-owes-11m-for-pallet…
You can sell them easily for $10-$25 depending on the quality. That is what he will be doing. You should charge him something next time. Put it on Gumtree and you will have a few guys paying for them.
Sell them to garden places, they turn them into vertical gardens
I have never tried recycling but the idea sounds great, just have to market it right to take off
This how CHEP did it, yes they recycled them too, but back in the days

What is the end goal of the recycling? Woodchips or fixing them and reselling as a good pallet?
Wooden pallets or plastic pallets
