“Trash is cash.” As cliché as it may sound, this well-known saying is proven and tested. Over the years, recycling has gained in importance to many people. Awareness of nature and the environment are widespread nowadays, to the point many individuals and organizations take recycling and reducing waste seriously. Browse the internet or your social media feeds and you can see numerous DIY (Do-it-yourself) project tutorial videos and articles.
Brisbane warehousing is no exception to this. The team at PRQ have been wondering what they can do in recycling old pallets. Stacks of them are piled up in our warehouse and rather than sending them to the Brisbane City Council transfer centres we’ve researched some recycling old pallets ideas. In case you are looking for ways to discard pallets, why don’t you try transforming them to something useful and creative? Take your old pallets to a whole new level with these recycling and DIY project ideas.
