RE: Building a Bridge with Recycled Pallets

in #recycling7 years ago

Oh yes, please, score all the pallets while they're free. Down where I live you gotta pay for them! Not a lot, 20-50 pesos ( around 1-3 USD) a pallet, but they tend to be so used and abused that a good third part on average is no more than firewood.
Oh, and thanks for including the info on how the wood had been treated. Pallets can make awesome furniture too, but I would not want to sleep on one treated with formaldehyde, or use them for my raised garden-beds.

You're welcome, it's pretty amazing what we do with chemicals. I know they come from this same planet but they are just terrible for us and the environment!

In england you can sell the proper pallets for £5... Latin America is great place to learn about upcycling

Thanks
