Recycled Granite Pavers

While attending the Live Green SLC! Festival in Salt Lake City this past weekend, I discovered a new player in the recycled home decor category: Recycled Stone Products. They salvage left-over material from stone fabricators in the mountain west region, and shape them into pavers for a beautiful and 100% recycled look for your patio.

100% Recycled Granite Patio

According to one of the owners, Levi Ernest, the cost is about the same as regular garden pavers – yet they are keeping millions of pounds of waste out our landfills each year!

Check them out online or contact Levi at 801 580-3305.

Recycling Efforts in Salt Lake City

April 21, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Who says recycling isn’t working?

As joint owners of the landfill Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County each received a one time dividend of $7 million dollars from landfill funds that were intended to cover some of the expenses to close the landfill.  Due to waste diversion efforts, the life of the landfill has increased, and we expect it to remain open for at least 50 more years.  The City has chosen to use the funds to support further sustainability efforts.

The “waste diversion efforts” means, in large part, RECYCLING.
