Recycled Concrete Aggregate, 2" Minus

Recycled concrete aggregate in a 2" minus size range is a sustainable construction material produced by crushing and screening reclaimed concrete. This process yields a blend of particles up to 2 inches in size, including fines, which enhances compaction and stability. The recycled attribute not only diverts waste from landfills but also reduces the demand for virgin aggregates, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

The 2" minus size is ideal for applications requiring a solid, stable base, such as road sub-bases, parking lots, driveways, and general fill. The inclusion of fines allows for excellent compaction, creating a firm foundation that resists shifting and settling. While it may not be suitable for decorative or top-layer uses due to its rough texture and mixed appearance, it excels in structural and load-bearing roles. Contractors and DIYers alike appreciate its cost-effectiveness, durability, and positive environmental impact.
