May workshops to cover A-R costs, recycling

Asphalt-Rubber specifications, live cycle costs, recycling, and case histories of A-R paving projects will be included in two California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB).

The programs will be held May 23 at the Monterey Beach Bay View Hotel and May 30 at the Sheraton Hotel in Anaheim.

The workshops are being funded through a $40,000 CIWMB grant to the Business Service Bureau of California State University in Sacramento. The grants are part of the board's scrap tire market development program to help state and local government officials use scrap tires.
