A Very Polite Man
walked into my school today, looked in the skip, came to reception and asked if he could have the pallet off the top. Being equally polite, I told him that he may. He balanced it precariously on his bike and pushed off. Literally.

Random!

That's because
some pallets are worth money - sometimes upwards of £50

Really?
I'm pretty sure I'm not the man mentioned above, but I sometimes "rescue" pallets from skips, either to cut them up and use them for firewood or to take them apart as spare wood for projects. They're not worth money, are they?

The local wood recycling hippy centre here sells them for £1
So I guess that would be no, not really.

The blue ones are.
But, you can't sell them, as they belong to a company in Chepstow, and if you have one it means you've nicked it.

Smack heads collect them usually.........
There's a place round the corner from me that pays £10 a pop for one, so thats a good bag of brick dust in my area!

On the other side of the coin, one of my friends has built a rather fetching garage WITH DOOR out of nothing but pallets and shed felt! its quite fetching, looked a show whilst he was building it, but once completed I was amazed at what he had created! he even removed some planks and laind them across the supports for shelves and has a power point and lights in there! I wish i was good at DIY

I have a "blue pallet" in my garden, its a collapsable box type, i use it to store my gardening stuff in, which consists of a trowel and three broken plant pots.......... oh and half a tub of masonary paint!
