Willow Brae Pallets
3 Bast Place N2J 4G8 Waterloo, ON, Canada

A recent study has revealed that, contrary to popular belief, wooden pallets are better for food shipments due to their antibacterial properties. Who knew?! We did! https://willowbraepallets.com//wooden-pallets-better-for-/

Sadly, our flatbed trailer was stolen on Thursday night. It is a Miska trailer with a green frame and a wooden top, licence plate R85 78M. If you see or find it, please let us know! Thanks.

Not to brag, but our workers are heroes during this time of uncertainty. Everything moves on a pallet-without them, food, medical equipment, and everything else we rely on doesn't make it to where it needs to go. That is why we are so incredibly grateful to our workers who are continuing to put themselves in harm's way to perform deliveries and make sure the many companies we serve receive the pallets they need to operate. We have done our best to minimize the risk, but the...y are still out there when many are (rightfully) staying in their homes. Thank you to our workers, and all the other workers keeping the essential supply chain going! #supplychain #essentialservice #everydayheroes #covidheroes

We want to thank all of the workers, including those here at Willow Brae, who are continuing to keep the supply chain going during these uncertain times. Please respect those on the road and at their workplace who are keeping food on the table! #covid #supplychain #workers ... http://willowbraepallets.com/n/covid-19-update-we-carry-on/

#happyvalentinesday everyone! Remember, love can also be through friendship, honour, and respect. Show your colleagues some love by doing something nice for them. Show your parents love by calling them or dropping by, and show that stranger on the street some love by treating them with the same respect you desire for yourself! #dayoflove #loveyourneighbour #loving

Our new postcards have arrived! We are trying to get the word out about our pallet recycling service. Too many pallets end up in the landfill that we could recycle and reuse. Help us spread the word! Do you work for a facility that throws away pallets? Give us a call! #palletrecycling #marketing #friendsmakefriendsrecycle #gogreen #sustainablemanufacturing #woolwich #kitchener #cambridge #waterloo #spreadtheword

Gerry is one of our all star truck drivers. We know that doing business well means presenting a positive and helpful attitude in every area of our business, and we are proud to have Gerry on our team, who exemplifies that. Gerry has been with Willow Brae Pallets for around 1.5 years, and is a valuable part of our team. He greets customers and dispatch with a smile, and is always looking for ways to be more efficient and serve our customers better. Thanks Gerry for all your h...ard work! #staffappreciation #employeespotlight #staffspotlight #driver #watreg #thankyou #businessmatters #dothingswell #woolwoch #kitchener

We just posted an article about better #wastemanagement practice by manufacturers. It always surprises us how much money companies will spend on disposal for pallets, when we offer free pallet pickup service. The sad thing is, most of the companies that do not utilize our service end up sending their used pallets to the landfill, where they rot and release #greenhouse gasses. Do you work at a company where bins and bins of pallets are taken away for garbage? Time to give us a call! Full article: http://willowbraepallets.com/news/palletpickups/

We are very excited to share that we sold 29 pallet trees and raised $580 for #TreesForWoolwich ! Thanks to everybody who helped with this initiative, see you again next year!

We just put together a new batch of these things! We're so grateful to the many people who have ready purchased! Remember, for $20 you get a beautiful pallet tree and the knowledge that you are supporting #TreesForWoolwich in their quest to cover our region with trees! #greenearth #treeplanting #waterlooregion #carefortheplanet #caringatchristmas #christmasdecor

What does this word have to do with pallets? Believe it or not, a lot! We think about this word all of the time here at Willow Brae Pallets, because it is an incredibly important part of what we do: preventing invasive species from spreading throughout North America. That's why we have two state-of-the-art kilns that we use to Heat Treat our pallets, killing any of the bugs that could damage our beautiful forests. Check out this article on our website to learn more: http://...willowbraepallets.com//invasive-pests-protecting-o/ #invasivespecies #pests #heattreatment #ispm #pallets #protectourforests #plantlife

We're not going to pretend, we love Christmas around here! We've got the place all decorated and ready for the season. It's a time to gather with friends and family, and we can't get enough! We're particularly thankful that we get to come to work each morning and be around people that feel like family! #merrychristmas #workfamily #ChristmasDecor #workdecor #christmastree

We really believe in these words. It is important to love what you do-not every moment, not even every day. But overall, if you don't love what you do your work will be sub par. Put meaning into your work and try to understand the importance of your task. Swinging a hammer to repair a pallet may seem insignificant, but that repair means a manufacturer can ship product in a way that is sustainable and cost effective, driving our economy forward and creating jobs for others. #WorkMatters ! #loveyourjob #lovewhatyoudo #businessadvice #lifewords

Check it out! We're rolling out our Pallet Tree Fundraiser again, make sure you grab one before they're gone! http://willowbraepallets.com//trees-for-woolwich-fundrais/

Many of the best ideas for business growth come from customers and frontline workers, yet many companies insulate themselves from this type of input. It is so very important that a culture of openness is established in a company, where workers know they will be heard when they voice their concerns. Likewise, your customers are who you need to keep happy, so why would you ignore their suggestions? In sum, LISTEN!... #businessideas #businesstips #listentothis #wisewords #businessculture #customerservice #communicationiskey #opendoorpolicy

As a small business operating in the Waterloo Region, we have so many things to be grateful for. We are surrounding by hardworking diverse people who have so many unique ways to build our society and push us towards more creativity. Many of the companies we work with genuinely care about #sustainability , and that is why they choose #recycled pallets over new. Along with that, we exist in an economy built on trust. What a wonderful way to operate! #economy #wrawesome #stjacobs #business #trust #trustworthy #gratefulness #quotablequotes
