RCA

RCA Material for Commercial and Residential Needs in Suffolk County, NY

Crown Recycling Facility has recycled concrete aggregate for sale at wholesale prices in both cubic yards and by the ton and has recycled concrete aggregate available for both pickup and bulk delivery.

Recycled concrete aggregate, also known as RCA, is an extremely popular replacement for natural stone aggregates.

RCA is usually made up of old concrete from sidewalks, pavements, curbing and building slabs. After being compiled the concrete is processed and screened, which includes crushing the concrete into smaller pieces.

The screening process sizes the crushed concrete, and any leftover steel pieces are also removed by a magnet during the process as well.

The final result is recycled concrete aggregate that is composed of high-quality aggregates that make it perfect for new projects.

What is RCA used for

RCA is similar to RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) in that it provides many benefits. RCA is commonly used as a base layer for roads and highways.

Using recycled concrete aggregate provides both financial and environmental benefits to consumers and contractors alike. RCA reduces the use of landfill space and it also cuts down on the use of raw materials.

Another huge benefit of RCA is that it has excellent bearing strength, which provides an ideal foundation for asphalt.

Recycled concrete aggregate can also be used for home landscape and designs as the base layer for patios and walkways. Its properties have shown to stabilize soft and wet soils, and it will allow you to create the patio of your dreams, without having to worry about movement issues.

Recycled concrete aggregate can be manufactured to the same specifications as natural aggregates.
