The smaller pieces of concrete will actually be used for new highway projects through the Federal Highway Administration. Often times it is the first layer of a highway known as the sub-base.
There are multiple benefits of using recycled concrete. Not to mention the fact that it keeps it out of landfills across the country. This will free space for other items to be here, that should be in a landfill. If you have never heard of gravel mining, it is an actual open pit in the middle of nowhere that requires actual tunneling in the Earth in order to produce gravel. That is crazy when we can have gravel, by simply recycling.
Lastly, it is a long shot to think of it this way however the trucks that are used to transport the gravel from the gravel mines are transported to the work site. These trucks are emitting fumes into the atmosphere. By stopping the running of these trucks it is actually reducing the pollution rate within the job site location.
Lastly, to set all concerns aside about the lead base paint being ground into the concrete if it was painted on pre-crush.
