Reuse

Bricks are a very versatile building material. They can be incorporated into most projects within the garden, like pathways, steps, seating, retaining walls and more.

Recycle

Advantages include:

   * bricks do not require disposal- saving the demolition contractor money
   * reduces the waste dumped in landfill sites - saving the environmental cost
   * saves the need to extract new raw materials from the earth, which is financially and
     environmentally undesirable.
   * the cleaned bricks are an asset.

No Waste
