Yeah, used pallets probably aren’t the most sanitary. Also, “liquore”?

All of this hubbub about repurposing pallets makes me gag. I work for a grocery store and the stuff that oozes onto those would make your head spin. Also, they sit outside getting ickier and ickier. People “acquiring” these from behind stores are just stealing. Those get reused for a long time before a recycling company is in charge of picking them up, and gets paid to do it.

#9 I don’t know how many times I can say this…but Pallets are FILTHY. I worked in retail receiving for a few years in college. Pick one up and wash your hands and watch the black filth fill the sink. Unless you purchased brand new pallets from a manufacturer…then you are an idiot.

I admire the creativity. Great designs come from thinking outside the box. I notice that many of the readers are students. I remember using stacked milk crates for additional storage in my dorm room. Worked great and I didn’t have to repack to move.
