West Coast Rubber Recycling

WCRR is permitted to properly handle your scrap tire needs using California Waste Tire Haulers permit number CIWMB #1004937-02. All tires collected are either disposed of or recycled in an appropriate manner at one of our two facilities located in Santa Clara County. October 1, 1999 Gary's Tire Disposal started collecting tires from various tire dealers in the Greater Bay Area. In August of 2001 our name changed to West Coast Rubber Recycling (WCRR) and expanded our tire collection and sales territory. WCRR remanufactures scrap tires into the following markets:West Coast Rubber Recycling was awarded Best of Show in the Building and Landscape Product Design competition sponsored by the California State Fair and the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Known as the safest play surface on the market, GroundRubber Meets CPSC Surface Guidelines, as well as ASTM Guidelines (F-1292-99, and F-1951-99). At a depth of 6 inches GroundRubber provides the most shock absorption in playgrounds available on the market today. With GroundRubber installed, playgrounds are twice as safe as those with tan-bark, sand, pebbles and most other surfaces.GroundRubber may cost a little more than other surfaces, however, it only needs to be installed once. No annual upgrading or replacement is required. In comparison to wood mulch, GroundRubber requires a maximum of 6 inches in depth, versus 12 inches for the wood mulch.

GroundRubber has the unique ability to reduce injuries due to falls from a critical height of over 12 feet! You can actually take an egg and drop it from a height of 12 feet and watch it bounce. Based on tests using number of playground surface materials, the chart below shows that Recycled Rubber exceeds the safety standards of the other materials by a wide margin. Having GroundRubber underneath a play structure will help prevent both the number as well as the severity of children's playground injuries.GroundRubber is non-toxic (and in the case of colored surfacing chips, only non-toxic paints are used). The chips do not have any taste appeal. If a piece were ingested by a pet or child, test reports show that the chips will simply pass through the digestive tract.

GroundRubber Horse Arena Cover is a unique rubber product that offers one of the safest and most resilient footings available for horses. GroundRubber can dramatically enhance the performance and comfort of your horses, and is appreciated by Dressage and Hunter Jumpers alike. GroundRubber is also odorless, and requires less watering and dragging than other footing products.GroundRubber may cost a bit more initially, but it has a virtually unlimited lifespan, compared to other surfaces. It only needs to be installed once, it doesn't wash away, and is extremely cost effective to maintain.GroundRubber has been shown to absorb much more impact than sand, shavings and mulch products. It effectively reduces the repeated concussion horses sustain from being ridden on hard surfaces, enabling them to perform at their best.
