Kamps Pallets

They have a new product line called Kamps Krafty Wood - and here is a bit about it!

_________________________

Introducing….Kamps Krafty Wood

Kamps Pallets has been contributing to recycling since 1973. Our founder and CEO, Bernie Kamps, started Kamps in 1973 by collecting and selling sawdust and wood shavings throughout west Michigan. He soon realized that pallets in good condition were being thrown into landfills. Bernie started collecting these pallets, repaired any broken pieces and resold them. In 1974, Kamps, Inc. opened its first pallet plant. Since then, Kamps has grown to be a leader in the pallet industry. Kamps is now known as a leader in recycling.

At Kamps, we believe that nothing should go to waste. If you walked through our plant, you would see re-manufactured pallets built from boards previously used on other pallets and damaged pallets repaired for reuse (reconditioned pallets). If a pallet is beyond repair, it is put into a pile to be ground into mulch.

Kamps has taken its innovation a step further. Pallet wood and pallets are becoming a decorating choice of many. Kamps recognized this, and Kamps Krafty Wood was born!

Kamps Krafty Wood

Kamps Krafty Wood is intended to be used by creative minds. Since there is no limit to imagination, there is no limit to what you can do with Kamps Krafty Wood. This bright and happy pallet art was made by a customer using Kamps Krafty Wood.

Middle School Pallet Project

The Holy Family Catholic School in Grand Blanc, Michigan recently held a silent auction for their school.

Mrs. Szukhent, the 7th grade teacher, has a connection here at Goodwill and knows about PalletPalooza. So she has kindly shared pictures of three of the items that were auctioned off - made from pallets by the students!

Mrs. Szukhent and her 7th grade class made these two patriotic pallet pieces.
I can see them proudly on display on a bookshelf in a classroom or on a front porch.

The Pledge of Allegiance 
Great job students. This is a unique pallet creation! You may be inspired to recreate this piece for Memorial Day and Independence Day.

Mrs. Gonzale's sixth grade students each painted their own flower pot which were then attached to a brightly painted pallet. This is such a great idea to get everyone involved. I am sure there were a lot of bids on this item! 

A big thank you to Holy Family School for sharing your projects!
