Recycled Asphalt Near Me

Buying recycled asphalt locally

Recycled asphalt is made from reclaimed asphalt pavement that has been crushed and screened. When compacted, it hardens over time as residual asphalt binder reactivates, creating a durable and cost-effective driving surface. Yards also call it RAP or Asphalt Millings. GoodGravel lists 137 suppliers that stock recycled asphalt across 40 states. 48 of them deliver and 37 are pits or quarries that sell straight from the stockpile.

Expect recycled asphalt to run $15 to $30 per ton at the yard, or $20 to $45 per cubic yard. A 10 ton load is $150 to $300 before delivery. Heavier than natural gravel. Often requires compaction equipment for best performance. Pits sit at the low end of that range and landscape yards at the high end, since the yard bought it from a pit and trucked it in.

Recycled Asphalt works well for low-cost driveways, high-traffic areas, and dust control. Skip it for decorative landscaping and garden areas. The upside: very affordable and compacts into a hard surface. The catch: can soften in extreme heat.

Crushed asphalt pieces typically under 1 inch. Black or dark gray in color. One cubic yard of recycled asphalt weighs about 1.9 tons. A 3 inch layer over 500 square feet takes 4.6 cubic yards, which is close to 8.8 tons. Add 10 percent for settling and the odd low spot.

Press the location button at the top of the page and the list sorts by distance from you. Call the closest yard and ask for recycled asphalt by name and by size. Ask if it is washed or still has fines in it, because that changes how it drains and how it packs. If the nearest yard is out, the next one is usually within 20 miles when you are near a city.

Under 2 tons, pickup with your own truck or a trailer is the cheaper route. A half ton pickup takes about a third of a yard per trip. Above 5 tons, delivery starts to pay for itself because the fee spreads over more stone. Either way, get the total price for your exact tonnage from two yards and compare those totals, not the price per ton.
