North Central RC&D Donates Bench Made of Recycled Tires

Proof that even the most unlikely materials can have a second life, worn-out tires have been transformed into a durable bench, now serving the village of Springview, Nebraska. The sturdy, eco friendly seat, donated by the North Central Nebraska RC&D and Champlin Tire Recycling, Concordia, Kansas, has been placed in front of the Keya Paha County Library, offering residents a place to gather and rest.

 Members of the RC&D who had paid dues were eligible for a drawing, with Keya Paha County winning the bench. Manufactured by Back Atcha Outdoor Furniture, a division of Champlin Tire Recycling, the bench is made from 100% recycled plastics and rubber and designed to last for years while withstanding the elements.

Old tires become a challenge, with many ending up in landfills or abandoned in piles. The North Central RC&D has held annual tire collections, providing opportunities for the responsible disposal of tires. For more information about upcoming recycling events, visit northcentralrcd.com.
