Construction sites produce a lot of debris and leftover material that often end up in the landfill. However, there are ways to recycle some of these materials and repurpose them into other projects. Recycled concrete is one material that can be reused in a variety of ways in both commercial and residential jobs. The team at Connecticut’s Manchester Aggregate Supply has over 40 years of experience with concrete, gravel, and fill materials. Here, they share with you some best uses for recycled concrete.

Recycled concrete is an affordable, versatile material used in both commercial and residential projects. The concrete is often broken down into small gravel-like pieces to be used as aggregate for new concrete projects and in place of gravel for drainage projects. It can also be used as a base layer for paving new roads. Reusing this material reduces the energy needed to produce new product and eliminates tons of material from landfills.

Recycled concrete is also useful for projects around the home. Many landscaping jobs take advantage of the versatility of recycled concrete and use it in hardscaping projects around the yard. It is often used in place of gravel for fill between paver stones in pathways. Larger pieces can be used for retaining walls to prevent erosion, stepping stones for a quick and easy path over your lawn, or to raise garden beds for easy access and better drainage for your plants and flowers. They are also a great material to use for constructing a raised fire pit or edging your garden beds.

There are multiple ways you can use recycled concrete for your next project.
