Does anyone know of any resources for reuse or recycling an old
porcelain toilet?
It is old (from the 50's according to the stamp on the lid). It
functions. It isn't leaky or broken. (We recently replaced it with a
new model, chosen with the help of the Canadian/Californian toilet study
results that were mentioned on this list a while ago. The wife thinks I
am geeky for finding and using such a thing, but it flushes great! :))
I remember reading or visiting a website about a place in Texas that is
using old porcelain as an additive to an epoxy mass to create
counters/floors, etc. I don't know how much shipping something like
this might be, though. If there is anyone local that would be easier
(Salem, OR, USA).
Thanks,
Justin
