    Repurpose drum spill pallets

    Been trying to find a use for drum spill pallets. They are taking up too much room and i am not allowed to sale them. I also dont need them for drums. Thought i would ask here since so many of you will have clever and useful ideas.

    Not sure if I understood your post...."not allowed to sale them....." You mean not allowed to SELL them? What's with that?

    If they're clean, they might make some interesting raised bed garden frames.
    They might make some pretty good bins for sorting scrap into.

    Fasten one over the other and you have a HD doghouse or kid playhouse
    HD horse or cattle watering or feed trough

    I am assuming the inside is empty so it would be possible to store small loose bits of material. It appears if they were used as a container they would be stackable. I can't think of a need I would have for them but hopefully someone else can come up with an idea. Mike.

    if you have more than 1 you could put a piano hinge on them and make battery storage.

    I would think something like that would make it easier to tear down objects that have 80 million tiny screws in them. As it is, I try to catch each one and put it into a bin. If I could zip them out and let them fall, out of the way, that would speed things along.

    So with that said, I would fashion up some legs for it, or sit it on a sturdy table. How are the fork pockets? Can it be picked up/rotated and not fall off? Doesn't appear so but I can't see the whole thing.

    That's a great idea, the limited ewaste I've done I lost 1000s of brass and stainless screws in the yard, sometimes I wish I could thanks more than once, sorry Idaho I could only give you one

    I was thinking of some kind of waste oil type collection for if you did a lot of lawn mowers, but Idaho's idea is great!

    Put them up for free with a handling fee of what you want for them.

    They would also make good animal feeders or waters too. Or even hydroponic systems. the list just goes on.
    I buy Tantalum Capacitors and offer other services. Check out my thread for more info.

    Some great ideas and thank you all. Still can't find a purpose for them for anything I need. They would make great feeders or planters, but I don't need any. I do always need storage so I keep coming back to the idea of making a wall or a shed with them. Not sure yet, but we have at least 20 of them.
