Worn tyres can be broken down to form the surfaces for playgrounds and roading projects. This is great forward thinking on ways to recycle large amounts of used tyres.

Saving money on fuel
Last night on Campbell live there was talk about a big issue affecting a lot of New Zealanders, rising fuel prices.
As mentioned in the video clip, maintaining properly inflated and aligned tyres is one of the easiest ways you can save as much as $1000 a year on your fuel costs. If you are unsure what tyre pressure to use, give us an email and we can tell you the exact recommended pressure for your car.

Recycling Tyres – Garden Edging
Gardening Tip on Edging
You can create a nice edge border to you driveway or garden with used tires. Cut each tire in half, so that you have two half-circles. Dig a shallow trench as wide as a tire, and line up your tire half-pieces with their cut ends downward in the trench. Fill in enough dirt to keep them stable, and tamp it down firmly. You can even paint them in a color to match your home and landscaping.
Recycling Tyres – Sandbox
Tyre Sand Box
Make a sandbox for your children or grandchildren by fill-
ing an old tractor tire with sand. Locate in an area of the
yard where you can easily keep an eye on the kids.
Find river sand or beach sand for the tractor tire sandbox
at gardening and/or landscape stores. Avoid purchasing
very fine sand that gives off a lot of dust which can be
inhaled.

you do if you had to arrest your own mother?
” He answered, “Call for backup.”
