What do we mean exactly when we say that ReTURF’s used turf “Saves Some Green”?
Used Turf Rescues Green From the Landfills
By choosing to go with used artificial turf for your lawn, sports field, or other turf installation project, you’re helping to keep tons—and I mean literal tons—of reusable green turf from being carelessly tossed into America’s landfills. It even got the attention of The Atlantic, who published an article back in 2019 titled “The Dangerous Pileup of Artificial Turf.” It’s truly a shame how much reusable synthetic turf material is needlessly clogging up state and local waste systems across the country. But by selecting ReTURF for your turf installation, you know you’re not part of this nationwide problem—you’re part of the solution.
Used Turf Saves Our (Green) Planet
You may already know that artificial turf is an environmentally-friendly option. Using turf in place of a regular grass lawn helps reduce your carbon footprint—in addition to totally eliminating the need for the hazardous, environment-polluting fertilizers and lawn chemicals commonly used in landscaping applications.
You’re not just avoiding ecologically-unfriendly chemicals from seeping into the ground and water supply, by eliminating the need for lawn equipment like mowers and grass/string trimmers, you’re saving fuel from being burnt and polluting the air. Remember—unless you’re in possession of some kind of magic solar-powered lawnmower from the future—battery powered lawn equipment most likely still ultimately makes your carbon footprint bigger. The power in that battery needs to come from somewhere, and there’s still about a 60% chance it comes from burning coal, oil, or gas.
And we haven’t even addressed how much water is saved—With ReTURF, you can rest assured that you’re not adding to the over 235 trillion gallons of water used annually for lawn irrigation. And you won’t have to deal with sprinkler bills, either. Speaking of which…
Used Turf Saves You Some Green
Going with used turf isn’t just a green option for the environment, it can save you up to 90% compared to a new artificial turf installation. ReTURF goes even further—we remove the heavy infill from your turf before shipping it, resulting in much lower freight costs, and we pass these savings along to you.
Add both of these benefits to all of the ways that artificial turf saves you on the costs of lawn maintenance, treatments, irrigation costs/water bills, and more, and you can see how much of your own green you can save with used turf.
Often the most cost effective route by far, installing ReTURF’s professionally reclaimed and refitted artificial turf is a no-brainer if you’re looking for the most economical way to complete your project—without compromising quality.
