Recycled Outoor Furniture
Reduce, reuse, recycle are the watchwords of the day. And tied to those ideals is creativity. The creativity to turn something old and no longer useful also saves the landfill. Outdoor furniture can be fabulous and formal to fun and friendly. The skies the limit when great material meets ingenuity.

This Recycled Railroad Tie Bench is made from railroad ties reclaimed in India. The sparse rusticity and slightlyAsian design makes this bench a perfect addition to a wooded backyard or garden. A comfortable place to sit, read a book and enjoy the view-all while knowing that the landfills are spared one more deposit.
