Why Recycle? Recycling Roads Saves...

printer-friendly version

 

Money - by cutting down on material costs, transportation fees, and construction time.

 

Natural Resources - by using existing materials and conserving virgin aggregates.

 

The Environment - by eliminating the need to haul materials to landfills.

 

Work - by eliminating preliminary patching and by minimizing grade changes.

 

Energy - by reducing fuel needed to transport materials.

 

Investment - by using existing materials already paid for by past funds.

 

Headaches - by allowing traffic to flow while construction is underway and by quickly turning the road back to the traveling public.

 

Time - by using a construction process that is much faster than other methods.

 
Future Work - by building a strong, low-maintenance road that will last for several decades.
