Use our Materials

Use our recycled glass sand and gravel for your next project: landscaping, construction, sandblasting, arts….the uses are endless!

Wait—you
want
me
to
landscape
with
what?

We want Chattanoogans to use recycled glass gravel and sand in construction & landscaping. Glass starts out as (mostly) sand. Our glass-based products (and no–they are not sharp!) preserve our resources by reducing our need to extract sand and gravel from local quarries, creek beds, and mines.

Recycled
glass
in
your
landscaping
makes
for
a
good
story…
but
that’s
not
the
only
reason
you
should
use
it.

Recycled glass products serve your outdoor projects better than mined sand and other aggregates can. Why?

Better filtration

Using glass gravel and sands improve draining compared to mined materials, protecting your property from flooding, improving groundwater retention, and more

Lasts longer

Because glass doesn’t break down like mined aggregates and is resistant to washing out, your landscaping will last longer

Better for your plants

Recycled glass releases free silica into the soil, an important nutrient your plants need

More
reasons
to
landscape
with
our
recycled
glass:

  • Keep Scenic City scenic: Save local resources and reduce the need for locally mined materials when you use recycled products.
  • LEED Credits: If you’re a business hoping for LEED certification, earn LEED points by using construction and landscaping materials which improves the sustainability of your projects
  • Tell the neighbors a good story: Your landscaping will have never looked better–plus, it’ll come with a great story.

We
make
sure
your
glass
comes
back

When you recycle with Overlooked Materials, your glass comes back to the Chattanooga community. We turn it into sand and gravel available to neighbors and businesses for purchase. Interested in ordering glass landscaping and construction material?
