I am in search of different ways (detailed) in which a business could recycle their old wooden pallets, aside from an exchange with the provider.

There is a business (or i should say artist) in the town where I live that builds wooden furniture, cabinets, fireplace mantels, and other custom woodwork out of pallets. The pallets he gathers around town have all sorts of exotic and great-looking wood. The scrap wood he doesn't use is burned in the stove that heats his shop in winter.

Here are some things I do: 1. Do everything online ex: online bill pay, online statements. So you use less paper, no driving to the post office, less stamps. 2. Install a filter on your faucet and reuse a metal water bottle. 3. Wash full loads of laundry with cold water. 4. Recycle all the clean paper, plastic, glass. 5. Walk as much as you can. Good exercise too. 6. Do all errands in one trip. 7. Maintain your car. 8. Donate everything you don't use. Less stuff in the landfills. 9. Turn off all appliances , lights , etc when not in use. 10.Cancel magazine subscriptions. Most stuff you can read online. if not, just recycle. 11. Eat at home more. Saves on money and probably healthier. 12. Use the same bags for groceries , shopping , etc. 13. Avoid dry cleaning. These are some simple thing you can do. It will take a little getting used to but it does help. If everybody does some of these things, our planet's situation will improve .

There is a whole book with a title similar to that , something like "woodcrafting projects using recycled pallet wood." The author is a specialist who talks about everything from getting permission to cart them away, how to take them apart, how to run them through a jointer to get clean smooth wood, and how to maximize the usable sections. I had it from the library this summer so I know it is current.
It included plans for a variety of furniture and other surprisingly large items. The author's favorite by the way was motorcycle pallets (big and often made from exotic woods).

They are good for bonfires if you know people who live in the country or have a campsite

They make good firewood. It is better to burn renewable wood instead of fossil fuel to heat your house.
