RAP Recycling
Millings, mill-and-fill spoils, RAP piles — drop it here instead of stockpiling in your yard.
RAP isn't waste. It's feedstock.
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement — RAP — is the ground bituminous surface that comes off a mill-and-fill job. Every truckload still carries the same aggregate and asphalt binder that made it a road in the first place. Left in a pile in your yard, it's a liability. Sized and screened, it's a base course material or a supplement to new hot-mix. Bring it to us and it gets treated like a raw material, not garbage.
We crush it down to aggregate size, screen it, and blend or sell it back as recycled base — the millings from your parking-lot resurface can end up under someone else's driveway six weeks later. Your job's spoils become another job's sub-grade.
Who drops RAP with us
TDOT subs
State paving contracts move fast. When your yard fills up mid-project, you need a nearby drop-off you can hit with a tri-axle at 4pm and be back on the job in the morning.
County road crews
Blount, Knox, Loudon, Sevier — when a county road department mills and repaves, the spoils have to go somewhere clean and documented. We produce tickets for your records.
Private paving contractors
Parking lots, private roads, apartment-complex driveways. If you don't have your own stockpile yard, we're where your RAP goes so you can bid the job without the disposal headache.
Why SMSG works for millings jobs
Flat per-vehicle fee
Tri-axles pay one flat rate. No scale. When RAP is running heavy, you don't get punished for it.
Saturday hours
Weekend milling jobs — parking lots, private drives, night-work overflow — clean out 7am to noon Saturday.
Drop and go
No scale line. Pull in, eyeball check, point at the RAP pile, dump, back out. Truck's usually on-site under ten minutes.
Contractor accounts
One invoice a month for the whole crew. Every truck, every load, itemized. No cash at the gate on a rush job.
What we take
- ✓Cold RAP — millings need to be cool before drop-off. No smoldering loads.
- ✓Chunk asphalt — tear-out slabs and cut-outs are welcome alongside millings.
- ✓Attached crack sealer or sealcoat — normal residual is fine.
- ✓Some dirt or base contamination — reasonable amounts from mill depth are okay.
What we can't take
- ×Trash, cans, or bagged debris mixed in the load
- ×Large chunks of painted line stripe still attached
- ×Wood, plastic, or vegetation in the pile
- ×Hot loads straight off the mill — let them cool first
Documentation for the paperwork side
We can produce load-in tickets — vehicle, date, estimated volume — for job cost reconciliation, TDOT documentation, or LEED recycled-content credits on private commercial work. Contractor account holders get every load rolled up into a monthly statement with per-job tagging if you need it. Open an account before your next milling job and skip the per-load payment.
