Concrete Crushing & Recycling

Mobile concrete crushing and recycling across Colorado.

Demolition concrete does not have to leave the jobsite. CrushRite crushes it where it sits and screens it back into spec aggregate you can build on, so you skip the haul-off, the tipping fees, and the cost of trucking in new base.

Why Recycle On-Site

Recycled concrete is aggregate you already paid for.

On a tear-out, the broken concrete is not waste. It is a feedstock. Crushed and screened to gradation, recycled concrete aggregate stands in for virgin base and fill on most of the structural sections a project needs. The material that used to be a disposal line item becomes the base course for the new build.

We process construction and demolition concrete on your site, then split it into clean fractions on the same screening and classification line that finishes our other aggregate work. Clearing asphalt on the same job runs through the same plant as asphalt millings and RAP processing. If your existing road base has gone out of spec rather than been torn out, the related service is road base re-screening, which reclaims base in place.

Recycle vs. Haul-Off

The crushing is the cheap part. The trucking is what costs you.

Hauling concrete off and buying new base means paying to truck spoil to a landfill, paying tipping fees to dump it, and then paying to truck imported aggregate back in. Crushing on-site removes nearly all of that, and the gap widens with every mile and every ton.

  • No excavation and disposal of the broken concrete
  • No haul trucks running demolition spoil to a landfill
  • No tipping fees on construction and demolition material
  • No imported aggregate trucked back in for base and fill
  • Fewer truck round-trips, less road wear, and lower diesel spend
What We Produce

From demolition concrete to spec aggregate.

One crushing and screening setup produces the full range of base and fill a civil project consumes, run to the gradation your spec calls for.

CDOT Class 6 base course

Crushed and screened to the Class 6 gradation under CDOT Section 703 and AASHTO M147 when the job calls for it. Recycled concrete aggregate makes a dense, well-graded base that compacts hard and drains, and it goes straight back down under the new pavement section.

Structural fill and sub-base

Sized recycled concrete aggregate for backfill behind walls, under slabs, and as engineered sub-base. You reuse the material already on the site instead of paying to remove it and import virgin fill.

Drainage rock and rip-rap fraction

Coarser screened fractions for French drains, trench backfill, and erosion control. The double-deck screen splits the crushed feed into the fractions your spec calls for in a single pass.

Custom-sized recycled aggregate

Tell us the target gradation and we run the crusher and screen closed-circuit to hold it across the production run. Sample gradation reports are available when the prime or engineer of record requires them.

How It Works

From slab to spec in one mobilization.

The crew that crushes the concrete also screens it and stockpiles it, so the finished aggregate is staged on the site in a single pass.

01

Assess and set the target

Walk the pile, check for rebar and contamination, and lock the output gradation: CDOT Class 6, a structural-fill spec, or a custom curve.

02

Feed prep and selective demolition

The ripper-equipped Cat 328D breaks down slabs and footings and feeds the crusher, so you do not need a separate demolition crew staged on site.

03

Crush and pull the steel

The Kleemann MR110Zi impact crusher reduces the concrete and its magnetic separator lifts rebar and mesh out of the product stream.

04

Screen to spec

The MS19Z double-deck screen splits the crushed concrete into on-spec fractions. This is the same screening line behind our screening and classification work.

05

Stockpile and load out

The WA500 loader builds clean, separated stockpiles ready to place or load to trucks, so the finished aggregate is staged where the build needs it.

FAQ

Concrete crushing and recycling, answered.

If yours isn't here, call 719-304-4873. Nick picks up himself.

Can you crush concrete that still has rebar in it? +
Yes. The MR110Zi impact crusher is built to take reinforced concrete, and its magnetic separator pulls rebar and wire mesh out of the crushed stream so the finished aggregate is clean. You do not need to strip the steel before we mobilize.
What can recycled concrete aggregate actually be used for? +
Recycled concrete aggregate, often called RCA, is used for road base, structural fill, sub-base, drainage rock, and trench backfill. Screened to the right gradation it stands in for virgin aggregate on most base and fill applications, which is why it is so common on demolition and redevelopment work.
Is recycled concrete approved for CDOT base course? +
Recycled concrete aggregate is widely used for base when it is processed and screened to the controlling gradation, commonly CDOT Class 6 under Section 703 and AASHTO M147. We run the crusher and screen closed-circuit to hold that spec, and we can provide sample gradation reports on the production run. Send the spec and we will confirm fit before mobilizing. Call 719-304-4873 with the project.
Is on-site crushing cheaper than hauling concrete off and buying new base? +
Usually, yes. The crushing itself is the cheap part. What runs up the bill on a tear-out is the trucking and the tipping fees to dispose of the old concrete, plus trucking new aggregate back in. Processing the concrete where it sits removes most of that spend, so the savings grow with haul distance and tonnage.
How big does a concrete recycling job need to be to be worth it? +
Multi-day jobs and several thousand tons of concrete are where the mobilization economics line up cleanly. Smaller tear-outs can still work when they sit near an active deployment, so call 719-304-4873 about shared-mobilization timing rather than ruling it out.

Concrete to crush on your site?

Send the tonnage, the material, and the output spec. We will quote recycle vs. haul-off.
