    Do you ever just throw the pallet out somewhere and just leave it and go get it later?

    Haha! Our division used to leave wood pallets everywhere and for a while the warehouse was going through pallets like crazy! They left us a message saying pallet costs were out of control!

    No I'm use to stacking them as soon as I have a pallet spot open I can get pretty creative slinging them things around. The pallets don't bother me I really hate the plastic I throw that deal away at every dumpster I see

    At the beer company we had recycle bins for that, but I would throw shrink wrap away. At Aberdeen I went to throw some away and the one guy was like , no we can't we have a recycle bin for that stuff. Me I'll throw shrink wrap away if it's in my way stuff works good but it's a pain.

    The less pallets on my truck, the better off I am. Those red ones are a big safety issue in my opinion.
