Bulk Rubber Mulch Solutions for Joliet, IL and Chicagoland

Recycled Rubber Products was founded over two decades ago as a direct response to the tire waste problem in the United States. Instead of letting tires pile up in landfills, we’ve transformed millions of them into eco-friendly products that protect people, animals, and landscapes.

Today, we’re recognized as an industry leader in sustainable landscaping solutions, proudly:

• Woman-owned and family-operated

• 100% Made in the USA, with manufacturing in Joliet, Illinois

• Focused on high-quality, durable, and safe mulch products delivered at bulk scale

• Guided by a vision of a sustainable, waste-free world where every scrap tire is repurposed

For large projects across Chicagoland and nationwide, our team combines environmental passion with the operational strength needed to keep your timelines on track.

Ordering rubber mulch in bulk isn’t the same as picking up a few bags from a store. You need consistent quality from the first ton to the last, dependable logistics, and clear communication before and after the truck arrives.

We specialize in serving:

• School districts upgrading multiple playgrounds
  
• Municipalities and park districts improving safety and sustainability across parks and trails
  
• Commercial contractors handling large developments and multi-property sites
  
• Landscape companies that need reliable supply for seasonal projects
  
• Equestrian facilities, military sites, and shooting ranges requiring specialized surfacing

With over 20 years of experience in large-scale rubber recycling and surfacing projects, we understand the demands of complex installations, tight deadlines, and multi-phase rollouts.
