Had 6,000lbs of steel in the trailer, maybe a couple hundred pounds of that was dirt but was told they couldn't pay me for any of it. Magnet operator was a nice enough guy but kindness doesn't pay. So don't bring any steel or rehar from cleaning up a jobsite here unless you want to give it away. Almost forgot to mention that I called and talked to the scalehouse ahead of time, and then when I got there the woman in there told me to head to the back and get unloaded rather than checking if there was too much dirt in it like I had called and asked.

Original review below. I've adjusted my rating to 5 stars because after 4 months the aggregate has settled down and compacted and is working very well. ------------- We ordered 40 tons of crushed concrete as a base material for our driveway. First, the positive: They were super easy to work with, courteous, and the pricing for the crushed concrete was transparent and fair. $12 a ton was pretty hard to pass up compared to the cost of gravel. Now, the negative: I didn’t have an opportunity to look at the product prior to ordering, and it was described as very similar to crusher run. However, when it was delivered, I was surprised to see that it was mostly sand. I’d say 60% sand/fines, 40% larger aggregate. This might be ideal for compaction in some scenarios, but in my case even after compacting, it turns to a sandy soup that gets picked up heavily by my tires after a light rain. I was hoping to be able to drive on it for a bit prior to ordering additional gravel, but unfortunately, it’s not going to work. Understand this is recycled aggregate, and your mileage may vary. In my case, it’s been a somewhat disappointing $900 investment.
