Advantages of the tire chips are that they provide a better cushion than the standard materials such as asphalt, stone, and wood chips. Their ability to drain water, stay clean, and their long life are also attributes. [Pg.50]

Playground tire chips, when longevity is considered, can be competitive with alternate materials. Alternate materials generally range from 15 to 35 per ton. [Pg.50]
