Concrete Crusher Rental in Johnson City, TN
Crush concrete on-site, not your budget.
Mobile jaw crushers for on-site concrete processing in Johnson City: turn demolition rubble into reusable aggregate, eliminate tipping fees, and keep trucks off the road. We connect you with Evortle CT-535 and CT-850 crushers ready for delivery.
What Johnson City contractors crush on-site.
Crush slabs, footings, and structural concrete from building teardowns directly on the demo site. Produce reusable aggregate without a single haul trip.
Process residential and commercial foundations after excavation. Jaw crushers handle rebar-reinforced concrete and reduce it to spec base material on-site.
Crush broken concrete from road, curb, and parking lot removal. Recycled aggregate goes right back under the new pour as compactable base.
Process heavy reinforced concrete from bridge deck and overpass demolition. The CT-850 handles large feed sizes and rebar without issue.
CMU block walls, brick structures, and masonry debris crush quickly into clean aggregate. Lower jaw pressure needed means faster throughput.
Natural rock, limestone, and stone from site excavation. Jaw crushers process virgin rock into spec material for fill, drainage, or road base.
Stop paying to haul rubble.
C&D tipping fees in Tennessee average $47.5 per ton. Every truck load of concrete you send to the landfill costs you twice: once for tipping, again for the truck and driver. On-site crushing eliminates both and produces reusable base aggregate worth approximately $12 per ton.
Hauling cost based on $4.50/loaded mile, round-trip. Replacement aggregate valued at $12/ton (typical recycled concrete base price). Estimate only: your final quote uses real Johnson City-area rates and your project specifics.
per project, vs. hauling to the landfill
Crushed concrete produces reusable base aggregate (3/4" minus) worth approximately $12/ton. Material stays on your site or sells to neighboring projects.

The break-even point for on-site crushing in the Johnson City market is lower than most contractors expect. At $47.50/ton tipping and a 25-mile haul to Iris Glen Landfill, a project with 50 tons of concrete already saves money by crushing on-site. The savings scale linearly: 200 tons means roughly $11,750 saved versus hauling, even after the crusher rental cost.
The math is straightforward. Haul-out costs include tipping fees, round-trip trucking, driver time, and the replacement aggregate you need to buy to backfill. On-site crushing costs include the rental, fuel, and an operator. The rental is a fixed weekly cost. The haul-out costs multiply with every truck load.
Johnson City contractors who run the numbers usually rent. The ones who process concrete regularly end up buying a crusher through our main site.
What jaw crushers process. What they don't.
Jaw crushers are built for hard, brittle materials: concrete, rock, brick, block. They are not designed for flexible or soft materials. Feeding the wrong material damages the jaw plates, voids your rental agreement, or both.
Can crush
Concrete, rock, brick, and block are what jaw crushers are engineered for. The CT-850 includes an integrated overband magnet for rebar separation. The CT-535 magnet is optional.
Can't crush
Asphalt requires an impact crusher, not a jaw crusher. Asphalt is flexible and gums up jaw plates instead of fracturing cleanly. If you have asphalt, ask us about impact crusher options.

Why Johnson City crushes more concrete than ever.
Johnson City's Washington County issues demolition permits year-round. Between redevelopment in the Downtown area, steady tear-and-rebuild activity near Boones Creek, and commercial site work across the metro, concrete demolition debris piles up fast. A portable jaw crusher on your demo site turns that pile into reusable base material: no haul trips, no tipping fees, no waiting for a landfill slot.
We connect Johnson City contractors with Evortle CT-535 and CT-850 jaw crushers delivered directly to the jobsite. The compact CT-535 fits through residential gates and handles single-lot teardowns. The CT-850 runs full production on commercial demo sites across Washington County. Both produce spec aggregate you can use on your own project or sell to the site next door.
Johnson City's 0.9% growth rate in Washington County is supported by ETSU campus expansion and the Tri-Cities region's healthcare sector growth. Downtown revitalization along Main Street and State of Franklin Road corridor development are adding commercial construction. Nuclear Fuel Services and General Dynamics operations maintain specialized industrial construction demand in the region.
Contractors working across Johnson City's Downtown, Boones Creek, and State of Franklin areas need reliable equipment access. Having a concrete crusher delivered to your jobsite saves the round-trip haul to the nearest disposal facility every day you are on the job.
The nearest quarry is Vulcan Materials - Kingsport (20 miles). The closest C&D recycling facility is Washington County Recycling Center. Crushing on-site means you do not need either one: your demolition concrete becomes your base aggregate, right where you need it.
Mountain valley climate. Cooler than Middle or West Tennessee. Snow is possible in winter.
Johnson City's active construction market drives demand for demolition debris processing and concrete recycling. Current and recent projects include:
- East Tennessee State University campus expansion including new health science and academic facilities in Washington County.
- Downtown Johnson City Main Street revitalization with demolition of blighted structures and new mixed-use infill construction.
- State of Franklin Road commercial corridor redevelopment, replacing aging strip-commercial with new construction.
Equipment rental demand in Johnson City is driven by contractors supporting Ballad Health, East Tennessee State University, and Nuclear Fuel Services. Along with general construction and demolition companies serving Washington County. The city's Appalachian valley clay and rocky soil makes screening equipment valuable for processing excavated material into reusable fill. Healthcare facility construction, road and infrastructure improvements, and commercial development all contribute to steady demand for crushing and screening equipment.
The nearest C&D landfill to most Johnson City jobsites is Iris Glen Landfill, roughly 25 miles away. Tipping fees run $47.50 per ton. A 20-ton truck load costs you $47.5 x 20 = $950 in tipping alone, plus $225 in trucking at $4.50 per loaded mile round-trip. Ten truck loads: $11,750 hauling rubble that could have been base material.
An on-site jaw crusher eliminates every one of those costs. The crushed concrete produces 3/4-inch minus aggregate worth roughly $12 per ton. On a 200-ton job, that is $2,400 in recovered material value on top of the hauling costs you did not spend.
Tennessee's mild climate keeps demo crews working twelve months a year. No weather downtime on crushing.
Highest demand for crushers. Book 2-3 weeks ahead during peak to secure your dates.
Brief rain delays possible. Crushing resumes immediately after storms pass: no permit implications like burning.
Delivered to your Johnson City jobsite.
Equipment delivery to Johnson City in Washington County is served by I-26, US-11E, and US-321, providing efficient access for heavy equipment transport from staging yards across the region. The typical delivery radius covers Washington County and surrounding counties within a 50 to 75 mile range. Standard delivery timelines apply, though contractors should coordinate scheduling in advance during peak construction season to secure preferred delivery windows.
Concrete crusher rental FAQ: Johnson City.
Concrete crusher rental pricing in Johnson City depends on the model and rental duration. The compact CT-535 fits residential demo jobs. The production CT-850 handles commercial-scale work. Contact us at 770-433-2670 for a quote based on your Washington County project.
Yes. If you prefer not to operate the equipment yourself, we connect you with crushing contractors who bring their own equipment to your Washington County site, process your material, and leave you with reusable aggregate. Call 770-433-2670 to discuss contracted crushing options.
Both the CT-535 and CT-850 produce adjustable output. The CT-535 adjusts from 0.8-inch to 4-inch CSS. The CT-850 adjusts from 1-inch to 4-inch CSS. The most common setting is 3/4-inch to 1-inch minus, which meets most base material and fill specifications. You can adjust the jaw gap on-site to match your project requirements.
On-site crushing eliminates tipping fees ($48/ton in Tennessee), trucking costs, and replacement aggregate purchases. On a 200-ton job, that adds up to $10,000+ in savings versus hauling to the landfill. The crushed material becomes reusable base worth roughly $12/ton.
Permit requirements vary by county. Some Tennessee jurisdictions need a noise variance or land-disturbance permit for mobile crushing. Contact your Washington County building or environmental office for site-specific requirements before mobilizing equipment.
Crushed recycled concrete sells for roughly $8-$15 per ton depending on your local market. Even if you do not sell it, using it on your own project replaces virgin aggregate you would otherwise have to buy. On large demo jobs, the material value alone can offset a significant portion of the crusher rental cost.
Both the CT-535 and CT-850 run on standard diesel fuel. Fuel consumption depends on throughput rate and material hardness. Typical consumption ranges from 3-8 gallons per hour. Plan for on-site fuel delivery on longer rental periods.
