Recycled CA6
Recycled CA6 utilizes crushed concrete. This crushed rock is a clean, recycled product that is IDOT certified. Select Ozinga Chicago market locations also carry an additional TACO Tier 1 certification. This material is 15% lighter than limestone CA6, which can save you a lot of money on your next project.
Recycling concrete consists of breaking, removing, and crushing concrete from an existing location and then using it to create a new, reusable material that can be reused as a base layer for concrete structures. Using recycled concrete saves you money and provides major environmental benefits including conservation of natural resources through reusing recycled material. It also saves energy due to requiring less transportation and reduced disposal of concrete in landfills.
Grade 8 Recycled
Grade 8 recycled is produced to the same gradation standard as our CA6 product and has the same material properties. However, it is not submitted for DOT certification. Like CA6, this material is also 15% lighter than virgin material. It’s also a great choice for backfill, road base, parking lots, shoulder stone, and driveways.
