9. Reason for Project
Virgin concrete hauled into the landfill cost $24.00 per ton. It cost Pasquotank County approximately $6.50 to $8.50 per ton to have concrete processed on site.

10. Past five years
Pasquotank County recently began to stockpile and grind clean concrete
Previously the material was buried on the C&D landfill
To date 19,321 tons of material has been collected and all except what is now on the ground has been grinded and used
There is about 1,900 tons of material on site that will be grinded by next summer
Comparing what it would cost to process 19,000 tons of concrete at $24.00 per ton ($456,000) to what it cost ($8.50 per ton) to have it grinded ($161,500) we saved $294,500 and was able to use the product in various applications
