Recycling Tires and Porcelain in Local Road Projects
County officials weigh cost effective use of crumb rubber and porcelain in asphalt. Ohio DOT opposes mixing the two. Tri county district reports six projects since 1995, including a $250000 Erie Ottawa airport job using 66 tons crumb rubber and 550 tons porcelain from American Standard in Tiffin. Stockmaster notes the scheme profits from disposal of flawed toilets.
