In 2010, asphalt rubber chip seal was used for the first time in San <br />Leandro as part of the Annual Street Sealing 2009-10 Project and has been used on <br />subsequent projects with satisfactory results. <br /> <br />CalRecycle, California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, issues a <br />call-for-projects for its Rubberized Pavement Grant Program approximately once every year. <br />This program is essential to CalRecycle’s efforts to recycle and reuse solid waste that would <br />otherwise end up in California landfills. One hundred percent of the waste tires used to create <br />the rubberized asphalt materials used by this Program are generated in California. Each ton <br />of asphalt binder material contains at least 300 pounds of tire-derived crumb rubber, or 15% <br />by weight. <br />The Rubberized Pavement Grant Program consists of two parts. The first component is for <br />rubberized asphalt concrete, which reimburses local agencies for the cost difference between <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/16/2016
