Rubberecycle Installs Playsafer on the White House Playground

Rubberecycle was honored to install premium Playsafer rubber mulch flooring at the very first playground ever to be built at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC.   After representatives of the NRPA contacted the White House staff to express their concern over the safety issues inherent in playground usage, the Obama administration chose the most ecologically-friendly, safety-enhancing alternative: Playsafer.

Representatives of the Rubberecycle staff were warmly received by President Obama, who was extremely satisfied with the attractive and comfortable rubber mulch, perfectly matched to the playground color scheme.  The play area was also securely surrounded by Rubber Curbs, and supplemented with Rubber Wear Mats for extra protection in the most sensitive areas.

Reportedly, Sasha and Malia received their new gift with squeals of delight.  Rubberecycle is delighted to play a part in protecting the First Family.

Cash for Clunkers, Tires for ….?

At the close of the popular Cash for Clunkers program, the nation is faced with a glut of some 3.2 million tires—the base of those 800,000 ‘Clunkers’.  Are these tires destined for the landfills?

Rubberecycle’s answer is a resounding “NO!”  While Cash for Clunkers has been a real boon for the environment, the addition of millions of tires to landfills is definitely a colossal hazard.  Fortunately, Rubberecycle has proposed the ideal solution for all involved: the recycling of those very same tires into rubber mulch. 

Rather than becoming a health and environmental hazard, the tires will be able to serve as playground flooring, landscape mulch, arena footing, and crumb rubber for athletic fields.  A genuine win-win situation!
