Recycling Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavements

This publication describes how, since the mid-1970s, hundreds of millions of tons of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) have been used to produce recycled hot-mix asphalt that has the same performance characteristics as hot mix made will all virgin materials. The use of RAP has made substantial savings for both public and private sector users. This publication provides a new, updated document on “How to Recycle,” that summarizes for producers and agencies the equipment and methods which are being successfully used to reclaim, size, store and process RAP in various types of hot-mix asphalt facilities throughout the country. A discussion is also included in the publication for calculating the cost of using and processing RAP.
