Information About:

Railroad Ties

Railroad ties are traditionally used as a base for railroad tracks and are also used in fences, retaining walls, and landscaping.  Traditional railroad ties are treated with creosote, a toxic tar-like substance that extends the usable life of the wood.

Do not put railroad ties in the garbage.

Take railroad ties to one of the locations listed for Wood - Treated.
