Sand (Scrap)
Applications & Uses
Sand (Scrap)
Scrap sand is a byproduct material typically collected from the leftover or rejected portions during sand processing. Unlike premium or washed sands, scrap sand may contain a mix of fine particles, small aggregates, and occasional impurities. Its composition can vary, but it is generally less uniform and may include traces of silt or clay.
The "scrap" attribute means this sand is best suited for non-structural or secondary applications where high purity and consistency are not critical. Common uses include backfilling, general site leveling, temporary construction access, or as a base layer for landscaping projects. While it is cost-effective and readily available, scrap sand is not recommended for concrete mixes, masonry work, or areas requiring a clean, uniform finish due to its variable quality and potential for dust.
