Recycled Aggregate, 3" Minus, Blue - Concrete & Asphalt Blend

Recycled aggregate in a 3" minus size range is a sustainable construction material produced by crushing reclaimed concrete and asphalt. This blend, featuring pieces up to 3 inches and finer particles, offers a distinctive blue hue and combines the durability of concrete with the flexibility of asphalt. The "minus" grading ensures a mix of coarse and fine material, which enhances compaction and stability.

This size and composition make it ideal for heavy-duty base layers in road construction, parking lots, and large driveways, as well as for backfilling and site stabilization. The recycled nature of the product reduces environmental impact and project costs, while the mix of particle sizes provides excellent load-bearing capacity and drainage. However, its coarse texture may not be suitable for finished surfaces or areas requiring a smooth appearance. Overall, 3" minus recycled aggregate is a practical, eco-friendly choice for robust foundational work in both residential and commercial projects.
