But what is the cost of disposing of a broken or redundant pallet? Also many goods (e.g. paving slabs) are delivered on non-reuseable pallets.A new pallet cost 5 euros

Yes certainly a source of treated uniform wood for work around the garden

Where did you get that price from & what size pallet?A new pallet cost 5 euros
Is it the more standard ISPM or ISO 1200 * 1000, 1.0 tonne carrying capacity, or a small one?
I have to ask because at first sight my immediate thought was bul..it.
But knowing how reliable you are with such facts, I decided to wait & see.
Then say "bull..it"

Are they treated? Or do you just think they are?
I ask because I thought that some were just Kiln dried but NOT treated.
But if you know better, then I bow to your superior knowledge

I doubt any are treated. They are not made for long term weathering of the elementsAre they treated? Or do you just think they are?

You may well be right I assumed they were treated but the evidence shows that my pallets only lasted three years in contact with the ground,but the bit not in contact is quite alright and in use to this very day

Looking at the pictures, how and why do you think all the blue pallets got their colour?

Spray painted to indicate construction standard?
Proper ones are stamped on 2 sides as well. Some have a metal label to indicate load capacity.
The ones Wandsworth quote as 5 euros are possibly bits of c..p nailed up by some cowboy firm & would not be acceptable to many hauliers ( Spanish excluded of course).
There are quite detailed EURO standards for pallet constuction.Imagine a haulier with a stack of items say 2-3 pallets high in a vehicle & the bottom pallet collapses to one side, Then the driver has to get the load moved off the lorry when the other pallets no longer align horizontal for the forklift truck forks

Indeed a huge difference in quality between EU, US APC, AirFreight and disposal pallets.
To me none of them should make a bonfire.

In the circumstances I expect pallets in colours other than blue would not be allowed, especially green.

The blue pallets are CHEP pallets, a leasing based pallet which are sourced from and returned to various designated depots. Expensive and of a guaranteed quality but you can be sure that nothing in those burning alters to bigotry was actually paid for.
I can't imagine that the Orange lads would want any "Euro" pallets in their bonfires, but given the mentality I doubt they'd realise.
