What Can I Take to Riverdale Materials for Recycling?

Clean Concrete

Riverdale Materials specializes in recycling clean concrete waste that is free of excessive rebar, asphalt, brick, or mixed debris. This material is ideal for foundation remnants, pavement removal, and demolition waste. It must be free of contaminants and organics to ensure proper recycling and reuse.

CCDD Waste

Riverdale Materials accepts brick, stone, concrete, dirt from clean demolition, reclaimed fill, and excavation debris that meet Illinois EPA CCDD standards. These materials will be recycled here or transferred to an affiliate yard as required. Customers may need to provide forms or documentation as required.

Rough Topsoil

Riverdale Materials will accept un-sifted or minimally screened soil from grading or excavation, that is free of debris, trash, or hazardous materials. By recycling this rough topsoil waste, Riverdale Materials is contributing to sustainable practices and reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
