- Before any paving job begins, the disposal of the original asphalt must be considered.
- Posillico Materials does not typically dispose of any asphalt, it is recycled.
- The NYSDEC considers “uncontaminated solid waste” resulting from land clearing and from the construction, remodeling, repair or demolition of utilities, structures and roads as Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D). Asphalt falls into this category.
- Posillico Materials has a NYSDEC Part 360 Permit to receive waste asphalt, that is then processed and recycled as outlined below.
- Waste asphalt is delivered to the asphalt plant in two categories, broken asphalt and millings.
- This is also referred to as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) or recycled asphalt products.
- Broken asphalt is stockpiled, crushed and reused in the asphalt production. Typically new asphalt is comprised of 20% used asphalt or RAP.
- Millings can be reused in the asphalt production typically without crushing.
- Millings can also be reused to create a sub-base layer for new roads, temporary construction roads, or temporary site cover / caps.
