Hi all Sculpins recycled £6 per ton is this a good price as I need 150 ton thanks Jon

 

Scalpings are the smaller pieces, about 50mm and down, left over from quarrying, limestone ones crush down in situ to give a firm sub base normally as a layer over bigger hardcore.

 

A similar specification recycled material made up of a mixture of screened hardcore and cold planed tarmac is called eco around here and available at about £150 per 20 tonne load delivered. I imagine most of the cost is in transport so if you are out in the sticks it will cost more. It is basically a waste material from a skip business. Plain screened hardcore costs £80 per 20 tonne load here but again you can get it cheaper straight off a demolition job.

 

If you catch firms doing road surfacing they will often deliver the planings for free as it saves them taking them back to a recycling plant but be aware it is a waste material and you do need to comply with transfer notes and exemptions to use it. Long term road planings aren't a lot of cop as they are 50% sand and 10% bitumen which gradually oxidises away losing the binding effect.

 

If you take any screened material try to avoid wet periods as the screens won't separate out the mud in the wet.
