Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA)

Atlas Roll-Off has a wide variety of crushed stone options to choose from for your next project, including recycled concrete aggregate. Concrete recycling is an increasingly common method of utilizing the rubble from demolished or renovated concrete structures. Concrete aggregate collected from the demolition sites is then put through a crushing machine. This recycling process offers a number of benefits that have made it a better option than simply disposing of it at landfills, which was routinely the case before these benefits emerged.

4 Ways to Use Recycled Concrete Aggregate

There are many ways to use recycled concrete aggregate. Here are four common ways you can use it.

1) Walkways & Pathways

You can use crushed concrete to create beautiful walkways in your home or business landscaping. In order to make sure that the walkway looks as uniform as possible, make sure that the pieces of crushed concrete are all from one project site. This will also ensure that they are easier to form into your path since they will all be similar sizes. Using uniform pieces will also prevent rainwater from infiltrating your path and causing damaging runoff.

2) Drainage

Smaller, more broken up crushed concrete aggregate is a great drainage alternative to gravel.

3) Retaining Walls

Layering crushed concrete is also a great way to create a retaining wall and control erosion on slopes or hills in a yard. Different sizes of crushed concrete aggregate can function together to help prevent erosion. A layer of smaller, more broken-up crushed concrete as a base will contribute to the stability of the wall. Following with layers of larger recycled concrete packed with dirt will create an even, beautiful retaining wall.

4) Raised Garden Beds

Raised garden beds provide many benefits, like improving drainage and allowing for warmer soil. These benefits allow for faster growth in the springtime. Crushed concrete laid in layers is the perfect base for creating a raised garden bed.
