    These are turing out to be a right pain now around the place. What do people normally do with them? I haven't the time or patience to split them for firing.
    Will a timber recycling place take them?

    If they are in good nick, there used to be a lot of pallet agents who will pay for them. Has this stopped?

    If they are old, you can bring them to the local authority recycling centres, which usually have a skip for waste wood, and charge you something nominal (maybe €5 a trailer load for me locally).

    I put six of them together in a rectangle joined by straps at the corners and length. This becomes my plastic dump for the winter for silage wrap. Very neat and tidy.

    It also became a wind break/sun trap for the calves that were out around the yard over the winter and they found it is a lie-down area.

    If you have square bales or round bales of hay. the pallets are a great job underneath them or against a wall to prevent damage from the ground.

    I'm sure there are many uses for them, including firewood.
