Recycled concrete aggregate:

Is high quality - meeting or exceeding all applicable state and federal specifications
Is an accepted source of aggregate into new concrete by ASTM and AASHTO.
Is currently being used in concrete and asphalt products with better performance over comparable virgin aggregates.
Provides for superior compaction and constructability.
Is higher yield - recycled aggregates are lighter weight per unit of volume, which means less weight per cubic yard, resulting in reduced material costs, haul costs, and overall project costs.
Weighs ten to fifteen percent (10%-15%) less than comparable virgin quarry products (concrete).
Offers a way to reduce landfill waste streams.
Means minimization of environmental impacts in an Urban Quarry setting.
