Why Recycle Concrete Aggregate

Recycled concrete aggregate:

Is high quality, meeting or exceeding all applicable state and federal specifications.
Is an accepted source of aggregate into new concrete by ASTM and AASHTO.
Is currently used in concrete and asphalt products with better performance over comparable virgin aggregates.
Provides superior compaction and constructability.
Is higher yield. Recycled aggregates are lighter weight per unit of volume, which means less weight per cubic yard, resulting in reduced material costs, haul costs, and overall project costs.
Weighs 10-15 percent less than comparable virgin quarry products (concrete).
Offers a way to reduce landfill waste streams.
Means minimization of environmental impacts in an Urban Quarry setting.
