Summary Description
Why go green? Many of Colorado’s roads and highways were built several decades ago and are in need of repair or replacement. Infrastructure upgrades and local construction typically generate large quantities of demolition waste. The resulting asphalt/concrete aggregate of debris has historically ended up in landfills.

The owner of this six year old recycling company on the front range of Colorado has an expanding business that recycles construction and infrastructure aggregates. They derive income from accepting concrete and asphalt debris and then process the material into high-margin resalable road base, riprap, concrete base, asphalt base, and screened rock. Recycled aggregates provide bulk, strength, and wear resistance in these applications and are used extensively in regional infrastructure and construction projects.
