Brookline Transportation, Inc. (BTI), a Mayflower Van Lines agent specializing in commercial, lab, medical, science and residential moves, recently announced a health club division to its arsenal of commercial moving offerings. The new division will have staff and resources specific for health clubs, gyms and other sports facilities.

“We’ve moved our share of gyms over the years. It’s a precision operation that often times involves the disassembly of equipment at the current location and then assembly at the new location,” said George Rohlfing, owner of the family owned and operated BTI. “The thing about gym moves is they usually take place outside of business hours for the gym. So that could late night or early morning and that can present some challenges.”

BTI recently moved Foundation Fitness into its new location in downtown Boston, located between School Street and Court Street. That move took place in the early morning hours this past winter.

“That time of day is really the only time you could do a move like that,” said Rohlfing.

Rohlfing noted another recent health club move for The Weight Room in Newton, Massachusetts. BTI moved the gym to its new location at 82 Needham Street in Newton.

“The new location had just paved it’s parking lot. That meant entering the building through a back entrance,” said Rohlfing. “Of course, the reward for moving literally tons of weights was to set up the equipment inside.”

BTI offers disassembly and assembly services on all its moves.

In addition to its services for health clubs, BTI offers a wide range of relocations services for residential, commercial and lab move customers. For complete information on BTI’s relocation services, please visit https://www.usamover.com/ or call 800-766-7724.

Scarborough, ON, Oct 13, 2022 - S&B Pallets Ltd. recently released a document on how Canada’s wood pallet industry practices eco-friendliness by recycling its wooden pallets.

The spokesperson from S&B Pallets Ltd. stated that 95% of wooden pallets get recycled or reused in Canada. Almost 30% get broken when the wood pallet enters the recycling chain. Some wooden pallets that can’t be reused or fixed can be made into wood chips and applied to paper, particle boards, or livestock bedding.

According to the company’s document, every warehouse or industrial business faces issues related to wooden pallets. Either they want to move the product or they want to stack it up quickly. Earlier, these wooden pallets piled up across garbage bins and back rooms or took up space in the storage area. Now the recycling of wood pallets seems to be thriving. Small businesses recycle the wood pallets daily through up cycling. Canadian artists buy new wood pallets to create art forms, and there are commercial pallet recycling categories for industries and businesses that’re willing to sort, recover, re-sell, or repair pallets as a single piece or grind them into recovered material. Based on the 2011 estimates in Canada, each year there have been 47.4 million pallets recovered. Of those, 32.6 million were able to return to service as pallets. The remaining 14.8 million pallets get recycled into some other products.

The document outlines how wood can be used as an eco-friendly material in Canada. The wood pallets sometimes end up going to landfills. In the year of 1998, it was estimated that 17.9 million pallets every year ended up in Canadian landfills. Nowadays, it has been reduced to 2.5 million and continues to lessen with every passing year.

About The Company

S&B Pallets Ltd. is one of the reputable manufacturers of new wood pallets and recycles their old wooden pallets as well. They have been supplying their customers with top-notch pallets in and around Toronto for over a decade.

 NASHVILLE, TENN.— Budding country artist Marye Amanda is currently taking Nashville by storm with a blend of traditional country mixed with new country sounds. She is excited to announce the release of her brand-new single, The Other Girl. This song, which is based off a real-life experience, is now available on all digital streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and more.

If you’ve ever been in the unfortunate position of catching someone cheating, you know how awful it feels. Well Marye Amanda was in that exact situation, which led to this song. The Other Girl is about a date gone wrong. “I went out with this guy, and on the way to dinner, he told me another girl was going to meet us. It all went downhill from there,” she states. Though she had every reason to be upset, Marye Amanda realized that the guy was not worth her time and turned this experience into a song. The chorus ends with the powerful statement “I’ve been played a couple times but I never had to meet the other girl.” This single is full of emotion and heartbreak but also the hope that you can come out stronger on the other side of a terrible situation. 

Written by Marye Amanda and Jhett Wilder, The Other Girl takes the classic country with a little Americana influence and turns it into an upbeat modern country heartbreak ballad. Marye Amanda’s musical inspirations include Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, and Taylor Swift to name a few, all of which have played into her own unique style. With the combination of her compelling vocals and engaging stories, Marye Amanda continues to shine through everything she does. 

You can find Marye Amanda at her website and follow along with her on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter.
