Concrete Recycling in Alcoa TN - Drop-Off & Aggregate Sales

If you're working in Alcoa, odds are you've got concrete to deal with. Between the Alcoa Highway widening, the DENSO campus work, and the steady stream of residential and commercial builds, there's a lot of demo material moving around Blount County.

Smoky Mountain Sand & Gravel is right next door in Maryville, minutes from Alcoa, and we're a dedicated concrete recycling facility. Need to dump a load of broken concrete or buy recycled aggregate? We've got you.

Where We Are (and Why It Matters for Alcoa)

Our yard is at 245 Brookdale Rd in Maryville. If you're working anywhere in Alcoa, it's a short drive to drop off or pick up. For most Alcoa addresses, you're 10 minutes or less to our gate.

Compare that to the Blount County landfill, or worse, driving into Knoxville to find a disposal option. When every hour on the job counts, having a recycling yard this close changes the math.

Coming off Alcoa Highway? Easy access. Coming from the DENSO side? Straightforward route. Coming from Hall Road or Hunt Road industrial areas? You're practically our neighbor.

Concrete Drop-Off for Alcoa Contractors and Homeowners

We take clean concrete for recycling free. No appointment, no scale, no complicated process. What qualifies:

• Broken driveways, sidewalks, and slabs
• Foundation demolition material
• Concrete block, CMU, and brick
• Curbing and gutter sections
• Concrete with rebar (we separate the steel during processing)
• Asphalt and natural stone

If you're running demo jobs in Alcoa, you know concrete disposal eats your margins. The Blount County landfill charges about $60 per ton and that adds up fast over a multi-day demo. Clean concrete costs you nothing at our gate. Run your numbers through the cost calculator, and if your load is mixed, call (865) 999-0857 before you haul.

DIY homeowners: same process. No minimums, no commercial account needed. First time at a recycling yard? Our first-timer's guide walks you through exactly what to expect.

Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) for Alcoa Projects

We don't just take concrete in. We sell crushed and screened RCA back out. It works as a direct substitute for virgin gravel in a lot of applications:

• Driveway base and road base: RCA crusher run compacts well and holds up. The residual cement content helps it bind together over time.
• Parking areas and equipment pads: Commercial and industrial sites across Alcoa use RCA for parking lot base, staging areas, and equipment pads.
• Drainage: RCA #57 is a clean, no-fines stone for French drains and drainage layers.
• Temporary construction roads: Building access roads on a job site? RCA holds up under heavy equipment.

The Alcoa Highway Project and What It Means for Concrete Disposal

The $186 million Alcoa Highway widening is generating enormous volumes of demo concrete: old road sections, bridge elements, barrier walls, infrastructure rip-out. That project runs through 2027, and it's far from the only major construction in the area. We dig into it more in our Alcoa Highway project post.

All of that has to go somewhere. Landfilling it is expensive and wasteful. Recycling turns a cost into a resource and keeps material that won't ever decompose out of limited landfill space.

DENSO, Industrial Parks, and Commercial Work in Alcoa

Alcoa's industrial base keeps growing. DENSO's campus is expanding and the surrounding area sees steady development. For commercial and industrial contractors working Alcoa, a local concrete recycler means:

• Free clean drop-off instead of landfill tipping fees
• Shorter haul times that keep trucks productive
• Recycled base material for site work
• A cleaner environmental story for clients who care about sustainability reporting

We work with contractors across the region on one-time drops and ongoing projects. Whatever the scale.

Residential Concrete Recycling in Alcoa

Not every load comes from a commercial job. Alcoa homeowners are tearing out old driveways, replacing patios, pulling cracked sidewalks, and demoing old outbuildings with concrete foundations. All of that material is recyclable.

If you're a homeowner in Alcoa with concrete to get rid of: clean loads are free, most drop-offs take 15 to 20 minutes, and there's no paperwork or minimum load. Need help estimating your load? The calculator gets you a ballpark.

Why SMSG Instead of Other Options?

Your alternatives for concrete in the Alcoa area:

1. The landfill: about $60/ton, weekdays only, nothing recycled
2. Hauling to Knoxville: adds drive time, fuel, and you might still end up at a landfill
3. Leaving it on your property: doesn't solve the problem

We built this facility because East Tennessee needed a real concrete recycling option. Alcoa is in our backyard, and we're set up to handle anything from a single truckload to a full demolition project.

Serving Alcoa and All of Blount County

Alcoa is one of the closest communities to our yard, but we serve all of Blount County and well beyond. Any county is welcome.
