Flat to Fine

 My mind often wanders in contemplation of the slightly offbeat, like what happens to all the old, flat, discarded tires. Strangely enough I just recently found a possible answer to that question, and it just happens to appeal to the gardener in me. It’s reported that in the United States there are over 240 million tires discarded annually. That’s a lot of wasted rubber, especially when you stop to think that probably only ten percent or less of them are recycled. Flat Tire Decor to the rescue! You may have seen their pots and garden containers made from old tires at your local housewares store. What they don’t have in cosmetic appeal they make up for in strength and useful application. With their large handles and strong durability, containers made from recycled tires are excellent for organizing all your stuff, be it gardening tools, kids outdoor toys, or simply sticks and stones. Another big plus, if you need one other than getting all those discarded tires out of landfills, is that they’re made right here in the USA. Those two facts alone are enough to sell most consumers on the idea of recycled tire decor. As Flat Tire Decor likes to say, “Black is the new Green”.
