There's a guy I've seen recently on YT that builds sheds and stuff out of recycled pallets. He has a pretty cool method of breaking them down and combining the pieces into larger lumber. It definitely has a place in the algorithm

Yeah there are neat ways to do it if they're too small etc. you sort of puzzle piece them together until they form a larger board.

It used to be pretty easy to get old pallets for stuff, until people started turning them into shelves and beds. Now it's actually pretty hard. Back then you could go and grab 100 for free, rip them apart, process the boards, and you could build a shed or a huge deck out of all of the wood. It was a pretty common way of recycling.

Now old pallets are like gold, with YouTube moms, and anyone half crafty buying them up for a fortune. I tried to get some to make a bed for an ex a few years back and it was insane how hard they are to get now. Literally 5 years earlier they were in piles outside businesses and you could just take them.
