Recycled Materials

Recycled Aggregate

Recycled rock is old concrete and asphalt that's been crushed down and screened to size. Most of it comes from torn-up roads, sidewalks, and building foundations. The pieces are angular and dusty, so they lock together well when you compact them. Steel rebar and trash get pulled out before the load hits the truck.

You'll see it sold under a few names, like crushed concrete, recycled base, or a spec number like #610. The number just tells you the size range the rock is screened to. Recycled rock usually runs cheaper per ton than fresh-quarried stone, and it does the same jobs: driveway base, trench backfill, parking lot pads, and rough grading under a slab.

How to choose within recycled aggregate

Base under something else

Reclaimed concrete or asphalt millings work great as base under a driveway or slab. The layer above hides what's underneath.

When the top layer is visible

Recycled base compacts to grey or dusty tan, not the clean look of fresh crushed stone. Fine under a surface course, off if it's the finish.

Check the source

Reclaimed loads vary by demo site. A supplier who can tell you where the feedstock came from is a better bet than the cheapest yard in town.
