The Canterbury Reclamation Board recently forwarded a circular to collectors. All scrap rubber, it was stated, must be sorted into the following; Car and truck tyres, mechanical (garden hoses, rubber mats, heels, and soles), gumboots, car and truck peelings, pure rubber articles (hot-water bags, gloves, bladders, tubing, jam rings, and bathing caps), bicycle tubes and milkingmachine infiltrations, car and truck tubes, retreader buffings, crepe soles (unvulcanised) stripped from shoes, and clean crepe cuttings. As soon as a reasonable ouantity has been assembled, it should be consigned by rail, freight forward, to the Canterbury Reclamation Board, c/o. Rubber Reclaim, Ltd., Woolston.
