Kermit the Frog Was Slightly Mistaken...

... sometimes it IS easy "being green." Far be it from us to question the wisdom of the frog, but we make it pretty simple to REDUCE waste by RECYCLING your used pallets for the REUSE of others!

We pay for used pallets and can make the best deals in New England when it comes to pallet sales for your business.

Pallet upcycle: DIY Pallet Desk

I sit at my desk a lot.  A lot a lot.   You can find me there to

• work
• work
• work
• pay bills
• research ways to save money
• work 
• work 
• work

But if I had to sit at this beauty of a desk, I think I might be juuuuuust a tad happier paying bills and working!  Wouldn't you?! We are digging the rustic feeling of this upcycled pallet desk

Here are the complete instructions. 

It seems fairly straight forward, but of course that depends on your experience.

What are you doing with your upcycled pallets?  Send us photos! We love to see them!

Myths about Wooden Pallets (subtitled: We Love Trees!)

Who'da thunk that the pallet industry could be so controversial? (And here we thought of ourselves as stewards of the Earth, recyclers and re-purpose-rs of wooden pallets - hardly controversial figures!)

Apparently myths abound about the sustainability of the wooden pallet industry.  We've done our research, and we are happy to report that we can keep whistling-while-we-work, knowing that we are making progress to help our earth.

We've uncovered a great site that helps dispel the many myths about the wooden pallet industry. 

• At Ruma's warehouse, we take care to use each piece of wood (for repair, for reinforcement, for upgrades to a current pallet, etc)

• Ruma's also pays cash for old, broken, wooden pallets (to be dismantled, or to be used as mentioned above, as reinforcements)

• Any scrap wood that we can't use, we often donate or sell as fire wood! We don't like to fill a dumpster with wood - that's for sure!

 Give us a call for your pallet needs (see info to the right)

You can trust that Ruma's team works for you - and for the Earth!
