Asphalt Disposal
RAP, millings, or slab tear-outs — one flat fee per rig, open six days.
Where paving crews usually get stuck
Concrete's easy. There are half a dozen places around East Tennessee that'll take a slab. Asphalt is a different story. Most county landfills either won't accept it or price it by the ton — and a tri-axle of chunk asphalt is heavy enough to make that ticket hurt every single trip.
Roll-off dumpster companies aren't much help either. A lot of them cap heavy debris, some ban asphalt outright, and the ones that do take it charge a swing fee to haul it somewhere they'd rather not.
So the crew ends up driving further than they should, or sitting on RAP in the yard, or eating a per-ton bill that erodes the margin on the job. That's the gap we built the asphalt bay to fill.
What we take
✓ RAP (Milled Asphalt)
The ground-up material off a resurface job. Bring it loose, bring it in a dump body, either way it goes in the asphalt bay.
✓ Chunk Asphalt
Slab tear-outs, driveway rip-ups, parking-lot demo. Full chunks are fine — you don't need to break it down.
✓ Blacktop With Minimal Rebar
Occasional wire mesh or light rebar in the tear-out is normal. Heavy steel means the rebar surcharge and a different bay.
✓ Old Sealcoat Still Attached
You don't need to scrape it. Sealcoat, thermoplastic striping, and painted lane markings ride along with the asphalt.
What we don't take
Trash Mixed In
Cups, wrappers, insulation, wood. If the load's got jobsite trash sitting on top of the asphalt, we'll turn you around.
Unknown or Painted Debris
If you can't tell us what it is or where it came from, we can't take it. Same goes for unknown coatings on the underside.
Hot Asphalt
It has to be cooled and set. A fresh mill or a leftover load out of a paver has to cure before it comes through the gate.
Built around how paving crews actually run
Flat fee, not per ton
One price per vehicle. A pickup is a pickup. A tri-axle is a tri-axle. Asphalt is heavier than most other debris and that's exactly where per-ton pricing gets ugly — so we don't use it.
Saturdays open
Paving crews finish jobs on weekends. We're open Saturday 7 to noon so a Sunday-to-open parking lot doesn't become a Monday-morning problem.
Drop and go
No scale, no ticket line, no waiting on somebody to weigh in ahead of you. Pull to the asphalt bay, dump, pay at the gate, back on the road.
It gets used, not buried
What comes off your job goes back out as base course under someone else's. Your waste becomes another crew's aggregate — which also means you can source recycled material back out of the same yard.
How the drop-off works
Drive up
Come in off Brookdale Rd, pull up to the gate. Tell the yard hand it's asphalt.
Drop in the bay
We keep asphalt separate from the concrete stream so nothing gets cross-contaminated. Staff points you to the right pile.
Pay at the gate
One flat fee, priced off the rig. Account guys get billed monthly instead.
What it costs
Same flat fees as the rest of the yard, priced by the vehicle. Pickup starts at $40, tri-axle tops out at $200. That's the whole ticket. On a heavy asphalt load, a tri-axle of chunk is one flat fee here versus a per-ton bill that can run several hundred dollars at a landfill charging by weight.
Counties we pull asphalt from
One yard, off US-411 in Maryville. If your paving job is in any of these counties, you're inside the drive that makes the math work.

Call the yard or open a contractor account. Account holders skip the gate transaction and get one monthly bill instead of paying every trip.
