Hardware store, Lowe’s, any place that gets shipments on pallets.

i cleaned up a big mess of rotting/rotten pallets here a few years back. glad to have that done. they were free for us to get and they worked for a while, but as they rotted we'd just put more on top of them. they were over a ditch that ran from up here to the larger back drain/ditch so the house had a place for the sump pump to drain. they dug it out and put black plastic along it and then filled it along the sides with the crushed rinsed limestone and put the pallets over it.

not safe as the pallets rotted and then fell inwards and if you weren't careful walking across sometimes you'd fall through. it was also an animal highway from the ditch into the yard so i had to constantly plug the end and hunt any animals that thought it was a good spot to set up a home. rabbits and groundhogs and chipmunks always a hassle.

once i got them all cleaned out i had to deal with the leftovers of 130 pallets in various forms of decay. what i could use as garden humus was ok. the rusty nails were always a hazard and i pulled as many as i could.

it coincided with another large garden project so more complicated than a simple project, but hey, it was fun while it lasted...

Try a local construction company. I know my FH employer gets stuff on pallets all the time and they eventually get so many pallets that in order to discard them without actually taking them to a dump (landfill) they allow people to haul them away.

Well, I have plenty of downed and standing dead poles that ate 2X3 to 4X4 that I an make a pallet with, probable hahah faster that calling/driving to find some, we live to far out,,,
