Asphalt Recycling
Historically, materials such as asphalt were removed from construction and landscaping sites and disposed of in landfills. Contractors would simply haul them to the nearest dump after being cleared from parking areas or building sites. While the concept was straightforward, it increased freight costs and necessitated more landfill sites.Recycling transformed this trend by allowing resources to be reused. In the early years of recycling, reuse was virtually exclusively as fill material due to quality and grading irregularity concerns.
However, it is now possible to crush recovered concrete asphalt into various formats for a wide variety of industrial and construction purposes. Rock Crush Recycling serves clients in the Greater New York, Long Island, and New York metropolitan areas, and we provide reliable and cost-effective asphalt recycling services.
About Recycling Asphalt
Asphalt recycling is becoming more prevalent in the United States; the Federal Highway Administration reports that over 80% of the asphalt removed from roadways is recycled. And this is due in part to its usefulness. Additionally, the FHA states that in virtually all the states, recycled asphalt products are now commonly recognized as aggregate alternatives and as a percentage of the binder in asphalt paving mixes.Recent technological advancements have made recycling 90- 100 percent of reclaimed asphalt in hot mix feasible. Again, the procedure is identical to conventional crushing: asphalt is fractured, hauled from car parks and roadways, and then taken to areas where it is chipped and stacked. It is frequently used in the crushed form as a chalk mix in place of what's you have removed.
The Benefits of Asphalt Recycling

The first is cost-effectiveness—often, the cost of recycling material is much less than the expense of landfill disposal. Together with the efficiency gains associated with recycling, it proves to be a financially feasible choice.Second, recycling is more eco-friendly.
