One of the fabulous women in our class thought of bringing in a company to turn used tires into mulch this Earth Day. This is a great idea. I priced how much they sell the stuff for, it runs about 15$ a square foot.
Here is a great article about using tires for mulch: http://toolmonger.com/2008/08/27/permanent-mulch-from-recycled-tires/
Here is the web-site of the company who makes the mulch. http://www.internationalmulch.com/ .
I see the benefits in the rubber mulch immediately. Every year my family orders a truck load of mulch to be dumped in our drive way, and every year we painstakingly spread it again and again spending more and more money as the wood chips shrink and decay. The minute that people invest in this mulch it starts paying for itsself!
I hope that we will be able to do something at our trash bash to incorporate the rubber mulch.

Every tire place is Kansas serves as a tire recycling center, it's a state law. They will recycle any old tire for $1.50, no need to call a company from outside, there are 3 tire shops in Atchison, do better research next time.
