That wasn't very nice phd. What I found interesting is the pollution from burning tires. Most of the tires today are reclaimed and some are recaped. And yes the tires get chipped up and mixed in with asphalt... they don't just put a whole tire in the hole.. because that would be (((dumb)))..lol.. And in no way am I saying that the o p....is dumb.. just the concept your right ...I did not come up with this myself ... and I don't remember them saying they shredded the tires which would make more since ... some of our pot holes are huge and some of the side rds are crumbling ... so filling the whole with something does make more since ... I would think the tire might melt with the hot paving... and still paving the normal way is a waste of $ water still gets under it and opens it up ... some do say mixed with asphalt... I just would lilke the wholes filled in a better way + the side of our rds crumble and guess what ... that is over the mountain you go ...crumbling off... http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Tires/GreenRoads/ http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Tires/RAC/ ______________________________________________________* different subject... omgoodness do you know how + what is in jello... yuck! and know not tires My last relationship was with a lefty vegan. what gets me now is how old I am and using jello & did not know that... I have been catching this show once and a while did you know ? |

Asphalt is still the tried and true method for filling potholes, but it is hard to work with in the colder states and costly.
But any idea to use recycled material as a filler is a good one, of course if it is feasible In Jersey and N.Y.C. the roads are mostly paved in asphalt, not concrete like some other states and I noticed that the road surface on newly paved roads now glisten. I ask one of my brothers about this ( he works for the NYC dept. of transportation) and he said that they now add crushed glass to the mixture. as it adds strength, is less costly then asphalt and it is from recycled material stock So here we are basically driving right over a tires biggest foe... glass, and all is well. Someone thought outside the box on this...and most likely were told " that's a pretty stupid idea" at first, but it worked.. hat's off to people who think outside the box |

well they could grind the tires up mix the tire grindings with the old road they haul away then take the grindings mix to the holes mix the grindings again adding in some tar too hold the mix together then fill the holes with the new mixture and could also use this mix for base on new roads being built but hey who would want to recycle all this stuff it might put some union workers out of work by actually fixing the issue just a thought but hey what do i know |
