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!
