Why Recycle?
Recycling concrete from demolition projects can result in considerable
savings since it saves the costs of transporting concrete to the
landfill and eliminates the cost of disposal. As landfill costs for
construction, demolition, and land-clearing debris continue to
rise, it makes economic sense to seek alternative means of disposal
for contrete from construction and demolition operations.
Recycled aggregates are lighter weight per unit of volume which
means less weight per cubic yard. Recycled aggregate weighs
ten to fifteen percent (10%-15%) less than comparable virgin
quarry products (concrete). For our customers, this means
reduced material costs, haul costs, and overall project costs.
Our recycled materials meet or exceed State of Florida specifications.
