PACA has thousands of street and sidewalk pavers (bricks) for sale. This is the fifth year for our brick salvage project, under the direction of Bob Swisher, and there is no end in sight for the availability of pavers. This year, 2010, both street and sidewalk pavers are coming from the City of Urbana, which has donated them to PACA for recycling.

Pavers will be available starting September 4, weather permitting, until winter.

      

 

Contact PACA, 359-7222 for more information. Buyers must load their own pavers; no folk lifts allowed.

Champaign County Public Service workers and PACA volunteers have supplied the labor for this project, under the direction of Bob Swisher.
