I walk by it dozens of times a week near my workplace.

A typical landscape treatment at an Esso gas station at Broadway and Burrard.

Nothing that special. A few evergreen plants and wood chips as mulch. But today when I looked down, I could read something on the chips. What???

“Steel Radial” – not a wood chip at all. Is it safe?

Apparently “Landscape Rubber Mulch Chunks” are used in playgrounds too.

Well, I’m glad to see tires being reused like this instead of burning them for power generation.
