BEFORE: These 3″ x 7″ SPF Timbers come from the disassembling of large oversize pallets that bring in industrial machinery from Europe.
AFTER: “We have a property with a creek. We haven’t been able to drive a full lap around the pond until now. We used 3 telephone poles @ 35 feet long as the support and decked it with these 3×7 SPF Wood Timbers we got from you. Now we can ride ATV’s around the pond and over the creek. Great product.” – Jon in Kansas
Q: Like these heavy duty timbers, do you have surplus materials coming from your operations that would be candidate for “repurposing”? If “yes”, Email Us Details!

INBOX: “At our tank manufacturing biz, we have a rail that runs 700 feet through our facility. If you look at what the tank is riding on it’s got flanged wheels that allow us to move tanks through the facility. We need 4, 8 or 12 train bogies. We need sets of 4 for our application. Do you have any?” – Brian

Our Customers: “Appreciate getting all the used Polyiso Insulation from you. It will work great under the concrete slab we’re getting ready to pour. Who cares if the insulation with some knicks and dings. Once it is buried underneath the concrete no one will ever know or care.” – Greg in Wisconsin

AFTER: “We build workforce and low income housing and generally put in a playground. We’re tired of dealing with cleaning up and replacing mulch so we’re going to start using used turf. But you have to have some protection so the kids bounce when they fall. So we’ll be putting your used Turf Pad Underlayment under the playgrounds. You are currently the only place I can find that has the used padding.” – Lance in Oklahoma
BEFORE: We got in a bunch of used Turf Pad Underlayment from a football field that was being torn down. This Turf Pad is selling briskly. Don’t miss out!!

SPEAKING: “Damon Carson delivered an inspiring guest lecture in my course Circular Economy: Science and Business of Construction at the Cornell University Department of Architecture, titled ‘Repurposing: A New Frontier in Landfill Diversion’. His presentation revealed unexpected opportunities for ‘repurposing’ across diverse material streams. I was particularly struck by examples such as the reuse of Bullet-Resistant Leaded Glass at the Abilene Zoo and the transformation of discarded Fiberglass Conduits into yacht sailing masts—innovations that demonstrate how creative thinking can unlock entirely new life cycles for materials we typically consider waste.” – Felix Heisel
Q: Like Professor Heisel, do you have an event or continuing education course where a presentation on “repurposing” would be of value to attendees? If “yes”, Email Us for Details.
