01 / Common uses in Richmond

What Richmond contractors crush on-site.

01
Concrete demolition

Crush slabs, footings, and structural concrete from building teardowns directly on the demo site. Produce reusable aggregate without a single haul trip.

02
Foundation removal

Process residential and commercial foundations after excavation. Jaw crushers handle rebar-reinforced concrete and reduce it to spec base material on-site.

03
Road and parking lot

Crush broken concrete from road, curb, and parking lot removal. Recycled aggregate goes right back under the new pour as compactable base.

04
Bridge and overpass

Process heavy reinforced concrete from bridge deck and overpass demolition. The CT-850 handles large feed sizes and rebar without issue.

05
Block and masonry

CMU block walls, brick structures, and masonry debris crush quickly into clean aggregate. Lower jaw pressure needed means faster throughput.

06
Rock and stone

Natural rock, limestone, and stone from site excavation. Jaw crushers process virgin rock into spec material for fill, drainage, or road base.

02 / The math

Stop paying to haul rubble.

C&D tipping fees in Virginia average $45.0 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.

C&D volume 100 tons
Tipping fee $ 45.0 /ton
One-way miles to landfill 25 mi
Truck capacity 20 tons

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 Richmond-area rates and your project specifics.

The numbers

On-site crushing vs. hauling: cost comparison for Richmond contractors.

The break-even point for on-site crushing in the Richmond market is lower than most contractors expect. At $45.00/ton tipping and a 25-mile haul to East End Landfill, a project with 50 tons of concrete already saves money by crushing on-site. The savings scale linearly: 200 tons means roughly $11,250 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.

Richmond contractors who run the numbers usually rent. The ones who process concrete regularly end up buying a crusher through our main site.

What goes in the jaw

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
  • Reinforced concrete
  • Rock / stone
  • Brick
  • Block / CMU
  • C&D rubble

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 need impact crusher
  • Dirt / soil
  • Wood / stumps
  • Metal-only scrap
  • Household waste
  • Hazardous materials

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.

03 / Sizing

Richmond right now

Why Richmond crushes more concrete than ever.

Richmond's City of Richmond issues demolition permits year-round. Between redevelopment in the Scott's Addition area, steady tear-and-rebuild activity near The Fan, 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 Richmond 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 City of Richmond. Both produce spec aggregate you can use on your own project or sell to the site next door.

Richmond's metro area, home to over 1,314,000 residents, continues to attract corporate relocations and mixed-use development. Scott's Addition has transformed from an industrial district into one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the Southeast. Year-over-year growth of 1.1% reflects sustained demand for demolition, grading, and material processing across the metro.

Contractors working across Richmond's Scott's Addition, The Fan, and Shockoe Bottom 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 - Chesterfield (15 miles). The closest C&D recycling facility is Richmond Recycling Center. Crushing on-site means you do not need either one: your demolition concrete becomes your base aggregate, right where you need it.

Four distinct seasons with hot summers and mild winters. Year-round construction with occasional winter weather pauses.

Richmond's active construction market drives demand for demolition debris processing and concrete recycling. Current and recent projects include:

  • Navy Hill mixed-use redevelopment in downtown Richmond requiring demolition of former commercial properties and concrete recycling across multiple parcels.
  • I-95/I-64 interchange reconstruction project involving large-scale concrete removal, grading, and aggregate processing across multiple phases.
  • Scott's Addition brewery district expansion with ongoing building conversions and new construction requiring site prep and demolition debris processing.

Equipment rental demand in Richmond is driven by general contractors working the Scott's Addition and downtown corridors, demolition companies clearing sites for mixed-use developments, and utility contractors handling infrastructure upgrades. Major employers like Capital One and Dominion Energy generate corporate campus construction, while the city's steady redevelopment activity creates year-round demolition equipment demand.

The nearest C&D landfill to most Richmond jobsites is East End Landfill, roughly 25 miles away. Tipping fees run $45.00 per ton. A 20-ton truck load costs you $45.0 x 20 = $900 in tipping alone, plus $225 in trucking at $4.50 per loaded mile round-trip. Ten truck loads: $11,250 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.

Concrete crusher rental FAQ: Richmond.

Concrete crusher rental pricing in Richmond 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 City of Richmond project.

If you have a single project or occasional demo jobs, renting makes financial sense. If you process concrete regularly, purchasing delivers better long-term ROI. GrinderCrusherScreen.com sells new Evortle jaw crushers and brokers quality used units. We have been matching contractors with the right equipment since 1973.

The CT-535 is our compact option at 14,330 lbs. It fits through residential gates and handles single-lot teardowns. For smaller volumes, it processes concrete faster than hauling to a landfill and at lower total cost. Tell us about your project and we will recommend the right size.

Yes. If you prefer not to operate the equipment yourself, we connect you with crushing contractors who bring their own equipment to your City of Richmond 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.

Yes. Crushed concrete at 3/4-inch minus meets most road base and structural fill specifications. It compacts well, drains effectively, and is approved for use as road base in most Virginia jurisdictions. Some projects may need testing to confirm the material meets local spec requirements.

We recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead for standard projects and 2-3 weeks during peak season (March through October in Virginia). Emergency or rush requests are handled when equipment is available. Call 770-433-2670 and we will confirm the earliest delivery date for your Richmond jobsite.
