  1. Is it safe to reuse wood pallets? The omnipresent pallet appears to be the perfect material for reuse projects because it is made of wood and by being reused; it is kept out of the waste stream. How can you possibly err? However, it has been discovered that pallet wood is frequently tainted with hazardous chemicals, contagious bacteria, and other unsavory things that you definitely don't want in your home or around your family. You might find it a bit downer to hear that all pallet reuse is unsafe. Therefore, before utilizing a pallet at home, consider the following. How Did It Get Used? Was there food shipped on it, where it could have picked up bacteria and other elements that could have seeped into the wood? This is one of the key concerns. Was anything chemically transported on it? What Approach Was Used? Standard and custom pallets are either heat-treated—that is, the wood is sealed by being burned to a high temperature in kilns—or they are treated with methyl bromide, a hazardous chemical that has been linked to adverse health effects in humans and the destruction of the ozone layer. Ask manufacturers Ask how local distributors or manufacturers of pallets handle their off-cuts by giving them a call. They could be eager to sell them for a discount or give them away.
