Playgrounds to Benefit From $20,000 Grant
The city’s Public Works Department has been awarded a $20,000 Tire Recycling Grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board for its 1997 Rubberized Playground Cover Project.
Through the project, city workers in early September will install rubberized material--from more than 4,000 recycled tires--in the Jardins de los Ninos and Atlantis Play Center playgrounds.
In addition to bringing the slip-resistant, shock-absorbing surface to the playgrounds, the project will also divert tires from area landfills and make the play areas more accessible to residents with disabilities.
