Pallet recycling or collection?

[Ladharrbeinn]

Hi there, I had a delivery from Wickes at the weekend which came on a pallet. The driver refused to wait 30 seconds while I unloaded so he could take the pallet for re-use. Now I'm stuck with it - too big to fit in car to take to dump. I could cut down and take, but does anyone know of a re-use/recycle scheme or similar?

thanks!

Have you thought of complaining to Wicks? Pallets have value. The driver may not have been following instructions.

I don't think Wickes make up the pallets.

They arrive at Wickes made up and they do not want them back.

If they did, they would charge a deposit on them.

Thanks. btw, yes I complained to Wickes. They said they never accept pallets back (despite their various sustainability claims on reducing packaging etc...)
