In 2018, the U.S. generated 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris – a hefty portion of which was concrete! Unfortunately, filling landfills with these materials can lead to higher disposal costs and decreased air space in our wastelands – not ideal for anyone involved. So if you’re taking on a project that involves getting rid of any amount of concrete, make sure to dispose of it responsibly by considering recycling options as an eco-friendly alternative!
How to Recycle Concrete
Ready to recycle concrete but wondering where to start? Break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks with a tool such as a sledgehammer – just be sure you’re equipped for the job by wearing protective gear, and heavy-duty clothing. Be careful when loading into your vehicle.
Overloading is never an option as that could lead to vehicle damage.
Once you’ve broken up and loaded your concrete, it’s time to find a suitable dumpster for disposal. However, not all companies accept this material double-check with your provider. Generally speaking, the going rate is around $20 per ton at landfills plus any required gate fees.
