AFTER: “A lot of the panels ended up hidden once the plants filled in, but I found a few photos. We used them in cinderblock beds inside one of our greenhouses, and they’ve been great for our setup. We’re a nonprofit focused on growing native plants for pollinators, wildlife gardens, and wildland restoration projects with partners like CSU, USFS, and WRV. Recycled materials are a natural fit for both our values and our budget.” – Stephen
BEFORE: “These Expanded Metal Panels got delivered to our scrap metal yard here in Texas from a highway construction project. They seem in really good shape. It seems sad to just cut these up and melt them down. Would you be interested in buying them for some creative re-use project?” – Andy
Q: Like Andy, do you have any steel or metal material that you’d like to find a higher and better use for than sending it to scrap recycling facility to be melted down? If yes, we’re interested! Email Us Pictures and Details.
