Recycled Concrete, 1.25" Minus

Recycled concrete in a 1.25" minus size range is a sustainable aggregate produced by crushing and screening reclaimed concrete from demolition and construction projects. The "minus" designation means the material includes pieces up to 1.25 inches in size, along with smaller particles and fines, resulting in a well-graded blend that compacts efficiently.

This size and composition make recycled concrete ideal for use as a base material in driveways, parking lots, walkways, and road construction. It is also commonly used for backfilling, subgrade stabilization, and as a cost-effective alternative to virgin aggregates. The recycled attribute not only diverts waste from landfills but also reduces the environmental impact of new material extraction. While it compacts well and provides solid load-bearing support, the presence of fines may limit drainage compared to larger, clean stone. Overall, 1.25" minus recycled concrete is a practical, eco-friendly choice for both residential and commercial construction projects.
