RECYCLED PLASTIC PRODUCTS

The Adult Services Department operates this company, which fabricates items from recycled plastic. The lumber is made into picnic tables, park benches, trash receptacle holders, parking stops, etc. We are exploring various other products to expand our product line. Please call (305) 883-8720 for more info or email products@arcsofla.org

Environment

Our products are constructed entirely of plastic lumber, which is composed of 100% post-consumer plastic. Plastic throwaways that would become part of our growing landfill problems, become instead, part of the solution

Durability

More durable than regular lumber, plastic lumber requires no painting or varnishing. It is resistant to graffiti and guaranteed against mildew, rot, corrosion and termites, making our products virtually maintenance free and indestructible.

Practicality
Our sturdy mall benches and trash receptacle holders are all practical, usable products. Selection
Includes parking stops, mall benches, park benches, picnic tables, wheelchair accessible picnic tables and trash receptacle holders.
