8,713 scrap tires to be used in Sparwood project
Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC), an environmental not-for-profit group dedicated to the collection and recycling of scrap tires in British Columbia, recently announced the 10 B.C. organizations that will receive TSBC grants to begin, or complete community projects that utilize B.C. recycled tires, including rubber surfacing for splash pads, playgrounds and accessible swings.
Completed projects will be open to all members of the public and in total, 27,920 scrap tires will be used.
An East Kootenay project is included with Sparwood’s Frank J Mitchell Elementary School getting 8,713 tires for a playground project.
“We are thrilled that we are able to help these cities and organizations through our TSBC 2023 Community Grant Program and we know these projects will benefit from the inclusion of B.C. recycled scrap tires,” said Sutton.
“Rubberized surfacing can be coloured, and is durable and low maintenance, which makes it a desirable choice for running tracks, waterparks, walkways and gathering areas as well as playgrounds.”
