Calendar highlights use of recycled roadway materials

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has issued a calendar marking its "Year of the Recycled Roadway Materials" - a year-long campaign to promote the use of recycled roadway materials in construction and maintenance. The calendar features facts about recycled materials, e.g., crushed glass, reclaimed asphalt, tire chips, roofing shingles and plastic, with proven engineering properties for road construction.

Each month, TxDOT is distributing a companion packet of information focusing on that month's material. The packet includes research summaries, case studies, a list of TxDOT experience with the recycled material, specifications, and details on availability. To receive the monthly information packets, fax name, address and phone number to (512) 416-3416.
