Recycling begins and ends in your community. Together, we invest great resources to support recycling as a way to protect our environment and enhance the quality of life for ourselves and our neighbours. The TSBC Community Grant Program promotes the use and benefit of recycled tire products, and, we can provide financial support to communities that have decided to use recycled tire products for their projects. We’re all in this together!
