By the Yard is a family owned business that produces/sells over 90 types and styles of outdoor furniture constructed from HDPE recycled plastic.. They produce table and chair sets in regular height, and my personal favorite, bar height. They also sell side tables, coffee tables, and planters. The sustainable furniture is made in the good old USA, as well as all the recycled plastics.

When you think about recycling you might remember the days of separate containers for bottles, cans, and paper. Modern recycling is much easier; everything is mixed together in one container, or comingled. At the recycling plant the materials are sorted through many steps. Cardboard and paper are removed by hand and by machine. Metal, glass and plastic are separated from each other. Using magnets, shaking conveyers, by hand, and through other methods the material is sorted. The materials are packaged in huge bails and wait to be transported to a manufacturer that will give this garbage a new life. Recycling is uses less energy than producing new glass, aluminum, and plastic, it also cuts down on the amount of garbage go into our landfills. Another great way to reduce your contribution to these landfills is to purchase green and sustainable furniture.
