Materials

Two things happen at our yard: contractors and haulers drop off clean concrete and asphalt, and we turn it into recycled base material you can buy for your next job. Here is what we take and what we sell.

What we accept

Concrete

Broken concrete from demolition, slabs, footings, curbs, sidewalks, and block. We crush and screen it on site so it goes back into local construction instead of a landfill.

  • Clean concrete — no dirt mixed in
  • Pieces no larger than 2 × 2 × 2 feet
  • Rebar and wire cut back or removed

Asphalt

Asphalt from parking-lot tear-outs, road repaving, driveways, and grindings. Processed into material that goes back under San Diego roads and lots.

  • Asphalt only — keep it separate from dirt
  • Chunks or grindings both accepted
  • Pieces no larger than 2 × 2 × 2 feet

What we sell

Recycled base material

The concrete and asphalt that comes through our gate is crushed and screened into recycled aggregate for base under slabs and pads, driveways and roads, backfill, and general fill. It is picked up at the yard and loaded into your truck or trailer.

Pricing and availability change with what has come through the yard, so call ahead for current rates, what sizes are on the ground, and load-out times.
