ROAD RESURFACING WITH RECYCLED TIRES-RUBBERIZED ASPHALT CONCRETE (RAC) CHIP SEAL GRANT PROGRAM
Thousands of recycled tires were diverted from disposal through the use of 94,683 square yards of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete for Oxnard city street projects. There are many advantages to using rubberized asphalt versus conventional asphalt. RAC incorporates ground tire (crumb) rubber into the hot mix. Crumb rubber is ground or granulated rubber particles, which are derived from auto or light truck tires or other sources that use a high content of natural rubber. The RAC program helps divert material from the landfill and conserves natural resources.
