Hello @Terry1231
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us.
I've called around the other stores in the area and I'm afraid the only store that has any to give away at the moment is Bunnings Ashfield. The team at the store have mentioned that they are usually stacked outside ready for pick up. Please note that these pallets are on a first come first serve basis and can't held or reserved.
It sounds like you've got a project in mind, please make sure to post an update on what you're planning to build. I'm sure our members would be keen to see what you're creating.
If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Ouraida. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about acquiring free pallets.
Plenty of our members have had success picking up pallets from their local Bunnings store, so I'd suggest that would be a great place to start. If you have a chat with a team member at your local store, they'll likely be able to tell you when they most often have surplus pallets.
We are keen to assist with your project, so if you have any questions please let us know.

I visited the modbury Bunnings, for pallet wood. Not allowed anymore the word. Has the collection of pallets been stopped at the back of all Bunnings?
the slats of the pallet wood are just right. On the sheep? I had it at $50, I had to take it home. The wheelbarrow thst took two days to make, and paint went for $60x if the was going to be made from mdf board, it would use two of 1200 by 450, so straight away $42.
is thete a suggestion of another wood for outdoor situations. Marine ply would be great, but the cost would be up. With the paints. Screws, paint, busted drill bits to replace, the tools when they fail, Bunnings are making money also. Lucky the site was on a trial to see if it works, with the money donated to the charity. The other way, is the cost of materials, being reimbursed by the charity. Wonder what other people do at charity events when asked to make things and sell them at a fair for a charity. I thought I could retire and sell these sorts of things to help retirement.
Hi @Jamespeter100,
I've made contact with the team at Bunnings Modbury, and nothing appears to have changed regarding pallet collection by customers. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, and they thought you meant the supplier-owned pallets and not the disposable pine pallets.
Next time you are in the store, have a chat with Trish in the builder's hardware section. She's more than happy for you to continue collecting pallets and creating your wonderful projects.
Please let me know if you have questions.

Hi @Eclipse
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about wooden pallets.
I would estimate that the majority of pallets coming to the store are made of pine. However, there is always the possibility that some of the pallets are made of hardwood. You'll need to have sharp eyes to pick them out. One way to tell them apart is by their weight, the pine pallets are always very light, and the hardwoods are much heavier. Just remember to pick only the "HT" or heat-treated pallets and not the chemically preserved ones.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
