Concrete is a common material used in construction projects, but it can also be difficult and costly to dispose of. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris were generated in the U.S. in 2018, and about 50% of this material is concrete. Concrete and demolition materials take up a lot of space in landfills and can lead to higher disposal costs.
If you have a project that involves getting rid of concrete, it’s important to dispose of it properly and consider recycling options.
Benefits of Recycling Concrete
There are several benefits to recycling concrete. It can help to extend the life of landfills by reducing the amount of debris that goes into them, and there is a high demand for quality concrete aggregates made from recycled concrete. Recycling concrete can also reduce disposal fees, especially when using a dumpster rental company. You can also reuse the concrete for other home improvement projects.
How to Recycle Concrete
To recycle concrete, you will first need to break it down into smaller pieces. This can be done with a sledgehammer, but be sure to wear protective gear for your eyes and ears, thick pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. You will also need a truck or other vehicle to haul the concrete away, but be careful not to overload the truck as it could damage the vehicle.
Once you have the concrete broken down and loaded, you will need to find a concrete dumpster near you. Not all companies accept concrete, so be sure to check with your provider. You can expect to pay around $20 per ton at most landfills, but you may also have to pay a “gate” fee to enter the landfill.
