In 2000, California packed 6,627 tons of shredded tires beneath Dixon Landing Road; the lightweight fill saved an estimated $477,000

In Milpitas, California, an innovative on-ramp has been constructed using shredded tires as a lightweight fill material. This eco-friendly approach effectively tackled the issue of unstable bay mud, curbing excessive structural settlement and minimizing construction expenses. Additionally, it alleviates the growing challenge of illegal tire disposal in the state, serving as a replicable solution for future infrastructure endeavors.
