Could do it yourself for cheaper by renting a compressor, jack hammer, roll away dumpster, and maybe a demo saw for the rebar, or a skid steer with a bull prick?
Very true but my schedule is crazy and I don't have the time. I have a buddy with the equipment but as that goes, he'll do it when he has free time.
FYI, recycled concrete SUCKS for a finish surface.
It NEVER stops being dusty adn breaking down. It's fine for subsurface, but for a surface it's terrible. 3/4 granite works super well (albeit much more expensive) because it's angular and locks together making a pretty solid surface to walk and park on.

Crushed brick is even worse
Also comes with 2 flat tires in each load.Quote:

Outfits like Pioneer may not require load minimums but probable charge a little higher rate per yard or delivery fee. Research recycled materials outfits.Quote:

it's fine for base but not finish.
You're just going to have to pay the piper
either re-concrete it. (why are you tearing out concrete to put something back in? just to park a trailer) or get 3/4 granite. (not river rock, it's round, like walking on big sand)
I'm tearing out the concrete because I had two huge cottonwood trees uproot and break it up. I'm not looking or needing something perfect so pouring a new pad is out of the question and I want a cheap solution for example, something more level than upheaved concrete and I could care less if it stinks.Quote:

If you don't drive on it all the time, it should stay pretty decent. I don't like it because of the "fines" get tracked into the house. (sand bits)
Otherwise, solid as a rock mostly.
Get a magnet on a stick and check it all once you've got it spread out. Pick up a few pieces of wire in the concrete. Usually not bad, but a couple.
