Two Dutch teams from the districts of Scheveningen, in Noorderstrand, and Duindorp, in Zuiderstrand, tried to outdo each other on New Year's Eve by lighting the biggest bonfire the Netherlands has ever seen. The two different districts built massive piles of wood but It was Duindorp's year this time around as they had the bigger bonfire.

What a waste... almost all those pallets looked reusable. I mean yes, they are easy to stack, but its better to use wood thats destined for refuse or something.

Most pallets aren't re-used; millions of pallets a year are destroyed, because they're not worth shipping anywhere to be used. That's just a fact of life in the freight business. (Plus, those are mostly the sh*tty Euro-standard pallets, which aren't durable enough to stand repeated use safely.) My guess, is that they just asked some local businesses to not dispose of their pallets for a while.

What I'd be more concerned about is that most EU pallets are treated wood, to prevent pests. Let's just say I wouldn't want to be breathing the air downwind of that fire.
