Asphalt & Pavement in Maryville TN: Where to Dump + Buy RAP

If you handle asphalt and paving in the Maryville TN area, you know disposal is the part of the job that never gets easier. You tear out a driveway, mill a parking lot, rip up an old road section, and you're left with a pile of broken asphalt that has to go somewhere.

You don't have to haul it to the landfill. Smoky Mountain Sand & Gravel takes clean asphalt free right here in Blount County. This post covers what we take, what we sell, and how drop-off works.

Why Asphalt Recycling Makes Sense for Paving Contractors

Asphalt is one of the most recyclable construction materials out there. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance estimates over 99 percent of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) gets reused. That isn't a feel-good stat. It's because the material is genuinely valuable.

Bring your torn-out asphalt to SMSG instead of the landfill and a few things happen:

• You skip the tipping fee. The Blount County landfill charges around $60 per ton for construction debris. Clean asphalt drops off free at our yard. See asphalt disposal for details.
• The material gets a second life. We crush and process old asphalt into recycled products that go right back into new construction projects.
• You keep usable material out of the landfill. Landfill space is not infinite. Every ton of asphalt we recycle is a ton that does not take up room in a landfill cell.

For paving contractors running multiple jobs a week, those savings add up fast. Run the numbers on your next project with our savings calculator.

What Asphalt Materials We Accept

If it came off a road, driveway, or parking lot, we can probably take it:

• Milled asphalt (RAP): the grindings from road milling machines
• Broken asphalt chunks: torn-out driveways, parking lots, sidewalks
• Asphalt with embedded gravel or aggregate: totally fine, that is what it is made of

What we can't take is asphalt mixed with other stuff. If the load has wood, trash, or a lot of dirt in it, separate it first or call (865) 999-0857 before you haul. For the full rundown of accepted and rejected materials, see our drop-off guide. If you work bigger paving jobs, our guide on where to dump asphalt in East Tennessee goes deeper.

Recycled Asphalt Products We Sell

We don't just take asphalt in. We sell it back out. Crushed recycled asphalt (sometimes called recycled asphalt millings, or RAP) gets used for plenty of projects:

• Driveway surfacing and resurfacing. Compacted asphalt millings set up hard and give you a smooth, durable surface for a fraction of what hot mix costs.
• Parking lot base and patching. RAP works as a base layer under new asphalt or as a quick fix for potholes.
• Rural road surfacing. County roads, farm roads, and private access roads hold up well with a properly compacted layer of recycled asphalt.
• Temporary construction access roads. Job sites need stable roads for equipment. RAP gives you a solid surface without paying virgin-material prices.

Pick it up at the yard or we can arrange delivery. Call (865) 999-0857 for current pricing, and see our materials page for availability and specs.

Cost Comparison: SMSG vs the Landfill

Real numbers. Say you've got a driveway tearout that produces 10 tons of broken asphalt:

	Blount County Landfill	SMSG
Tipping fee	About $60/ton x 10 tons = about $600	Free for clean asphalt
Scale	Weigh in and weigh out	No scale
Hours	Weekdays only, about 7 AM to 3 PM	Mon-Fri 7 AM to 5 PM, Sat 8 AM to noon

On one job, that's around $600 back in your pocket. Run weekly paving projects for a year and you're looking at real money for equipment, crew, or just more profit at the end of the year.
