Recycled Glass Mulch
Recycled pulverized glass can be used in place of traditional wood mulch. Glass mulch has better drainage, thus eliminating fading, rot, insect infestation, and mold/fungi. Glass mulch is available in a variety of colors. |

Recycled Glass Sand
Recycled glass pulverized to sand-like material can replace aggregate in playground sandboxes. This sand-like material can also be used as a base for stepping stones and walkways. |
