How is crushed concrete made?
how is it made?
Crushed concrete consists of asphalt waste from other building projects that can be reused for constructing driveways, sidewalks, garden beds and more.
Once any concrete structure has been demolished, the concrete is normally deposited in a landfill. Concrete does not decompose, so it remains there, taking up space and creating issues with the ecosystem. At the same time, fresh concrete is produced to start the cycle again. Luckily, HGS Southern provides an alternative: recycled concrete!
Using recycled concrete helps to reduce landfill waste and prevents the environmental damage caused by producing fresh concrete.
The concrete may be broken down to different sizes, washed to remove harmful contaminants from the mixture, and recycled for a variety of building and landscaping tasks.
