The Escanaba Department of Public Works has wood pallets available that are free to the public. Pallets are available for pick up only at the following time and location: 1715 Sheridan Road, 7:30 a.m.

Best of all, you can often get them for free — if you know where to look. Whether you're crafting a stylish ice chest or something else, building using recycled pallets can be a game-changer.
