recycling

Enhancing communities

Municipal demonstration projects showcase ways in which recycled scrap tire products can be used to improve and enhance community facilities such as playgrounds, parks, buildings, walkways, and arenas. Improvement projects provide an opportunity for community groups and municipalities to experience the value of using recycled scrap tire products in their public and recreation facilities.

In your neighbourhood

Communities across Alberta continue to benefit from tire recycling. In fact, one of these projects could be in your backyard. Here is a sample of just a few of the development projects in communities across Alberta that have incorporated recycled tire products into their construction.

	Bow Island The Bow Island Lions Centennial Park playground integrated pour-in-place rubber surfacing into its construction.
	Fort Saskatchewan Completed in 2002, the Alex's Memorial Playground project included the integration of rubber crumb and pour-in-place surfacing into its re-design.
	Prairie Oasis Park This picturesque park, located just south of Hanna, used cobblestone and z-brick to enhance the areas and pathways surrounding park buildings.
	Ryley The Ryley historical park project involved the integration of z-brick, multi-brick, cobblestone, and pour-in-place surfacing into the design of the park.
	Strathmore This schoolyard enhancement project incorporated z-brick into the design and development of park-like open spaces for students and teachers.
