Concrete and Asphalt Recycling in Sacramento

Why Recycling is Awesome for Everyone

When we get concrete from buildings and foundations, we process it in our crushing plant—that's the first step in recycling concrete. Nowadays, thanks to growing environmental awareness, recycling concrete is far more than just dumping it in landfills. We collect concrete aggregate from demolition sites and run it through our crushing machine, where we pull out metals like rebar with magnets. The leftover chunks are sorted by size, and if they’re too big, we crush them again, using hand-picking and different screening methods to ensure we get a great product.

How We Use Recycled Concrete

After we process the concrete and rubble, it turns into Class II A/B base rock, which is extremely useful for all kinds of construction projects. This material is perfect as a base for highways, roads, foundations, and even asphalt paving. Thanks to our solid quality control, we can provide well-graded and aesthetically pleasing material that works great as landscaping or mulch. Some of our customers even love picking out their favorite pieces of unprocessed concrete to create unique walkways and garden borders.

Why You Should Recycle Concrete

Recycling concrete has numerous benefits over just tossing it in landfills. It helps save space in landfills, reduces the need for sand and gravel mining by using recycled materials, and cuts down pollution from long-distance transportation. Plus, recycling one ton of concrete can save hundreds of gallons of water and fuel, along with the natural resources needed for mining virgin base rock. It’s a win-win!
