  • Tire Recycling: The Green Roads Program

    "The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, also known as CalRecycle, is working to advance its tire waste reduction efforts and promote the use of tire derived products. It is CalRecycle's goal to reduce the amount of tires that occupy California's landfills by putting unwanted tires to use through its "Green Roads" program.
    The "Green Roads" program promotes the use of shredded or ground scrap
    tires in paving and construction projects, keeping old tires out of landfills and away from fields and alleyways. These recycled tires can be used as inexpensive backfill behind retaining walls, or as an asphalt additive with many benefits such as durability, and noise reduction."
