Wood pallets are essential to modern life. Without them, shipping food and pretty much anything else would be immensely more difficult. Billions of feet of wood go into pallet construction every year, which can create a lot of waste after the pallets have become unusable for safely shipping goods, so here are some of the top ways you can use old wood pallets around your house to ensure they don’t end up in landfills.
Be sure that the recycled wood pallets you’re going to use are heat-treated if you’re planning on eating anything off them. Wood pallets are often treated with pesticides you probably don’t want to sleep on one or eat a tomato that was hanging from it.
