Recycled Aggregate, Concrete, 3" Size Range

Recycled aggregate in a 3" size range, made from processed concrete, is a sustainable construction material with an ash-colored appearance. This aggregate is produced by crushing and screening reclaimed concrete, diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin stone.

The 3" size makes this material ideal for heavy-duty base layers, such as sub-bases for roads, parking lots, and large commercial pads, where robust support and excellent drainage are required. Its recycled nature not only supports eco-friendly building practices but also offers cost savings compared to quarried stone. While its larger size and angular texture provide stability and load-bearing capacity, it is less suitable for applications requiring a smooth or compacted finish. This makes it a practical choice for structural fill, erosion control, and temporary construction access roads.
