Euro pallets I’m aware that are usually pressure treated to prevent rot. I know some are not treated at all.
But it is simply difficult to get pallets where I live lately. Unless they are completely broken, businesses don’t discard it (which is not bad by itself; less waste) but they won’t even sell them.
You don’t want to use old pallets for garden beds or projects anyways. Don’t know what chemicals you’re introducing into your home or food.
You’re thinking about possible run-offs from cargo or chemicals from treating the wood?
Both. Unless it’s a brand new single used pallet, you don’t know that a pool chemical didn’t spill on it at Walmart.
They are also treated to prevent rotting.
