A perfectly pallet-able way to make a buck in the back alleys.

These two lads from Geo Pallet are taking a drink break from trolling the back alleys of Fairview for returnables. But the returnables they're collecting are wooden shipping pallets rather than returnable beverage containers -- but the principal is the same.
Where bottles and cans can each be cashed in for between five- to twenty-cents, every pallet is worth two dollars said Joe, the fellow on the passenger side.
Joe told me the maximum load they could carry was 160 pallets -- $320. They had to already have at least 150 pallets, and honestly, I've seen flatbed trucks this size carry at least a third-again as many pallets, so I'd be surprised if they couldn't make room for 200-or-so.
Still, that's only $400 split two -- nearly three ways (there's the cost of the truck to account for). Like Joe said, they can make a buck but they've really got to hustle. Click the images to enlarge.
