Paying to Haul Material Away, Then Buying Material Back?
In Santa Fe, concrete and asphalt from a demolition or replacement job has limited options. County convenience centers prohibit construction debris. The Caja del Rio Landfill charges $52.50 to $62.50 per ton. There is no C&D recycling facility in Santa Fe; the nearest options are in Albuquerque, 64 miles away. Meanwhile, replacement road base runs $25 to $45 per ton from local suppliers. When the material and project requirements allow, the RC-J65 can process suitable material on site instead of paying at both ends.
Disposal
Caja del Rio Landfill: $52.50 to $62.50 per ton for construction debris. BuRRT accepts concrete only in pieces under 2 x 2 ft. County convenience centers do not accept C&D at all.
Hauling
Every load to the landfill or transfer station takes the truck and a driver off the job. A round trip to Albuquerque for recycling is 128 miles and 2.5 hours.
Replacement Aggregate
Road base from local suppliers runs $25 to $45 per ton. Crusher fines run about $40 per ton. Material you crush from your own demolition can replace some of that cost for approved applications.
Disposal fees are from SFSWMA published rate schedules (sfswma.org). Aggregate prices are from regional suppliers and vary by supplier, material type, quantity, and delivery distance. Actual savings depend on project volume, material suitability, operating conditions, and the permitted use of recycled material.

Why Santa Fe Contractors Run Into More Crushable Material
Santa Fe's conditions create more demolition debris and more excavated stone than most markets in the region. The freeze-thaw cycle is harder on concrete. The ground is full of caliche and rock. The landscaping is stone-heavy. And when the material comes out, there is no local place to recycle it. The RC-J65 can process suitable concrete, asphalt, brick, block, sandstone, and limestone on site, and NMDOT Section 302 allows crushed concrete as aggregate base course material for approved applications.
Freeze-Thaw Concrete Replacement
At 7,000 ft, Santa Fe gets 35 to 40 freeze-thaw cycles per year, two to three times more than Albuquerque. Driveways, slabs, and sidewalks fail faster here, creating a steady stream of concrete demolition debris on replacement jobs.
Caliche and Rock in Excavations
Santa Fe's subsurface is layers of caliche, limestone, sandstone, and volcanic rock. Excavation contractors pull out crushable stone on almost every foundation, driveway, and utility job. In softer-soil markets, they mostly pull out dirt.
Utility Cuts and Street Restoration
With $60 million in active water, sewer, and broadband projects, Santa Fe contractors are cutting through pavement and trenching through rock constantly. Every street cut is a two-way cost: pay to dispose the old, pay to bring in new base. Processing on site can eliminate both.
Historic District Demolition
Santa Fe's five historic districts mean tight-access renovation sites with zero staging space. Dense concrete and masonry debris from these "ship in a bottle" jobs needs compact processing equipment that fits the site, not a full-size crushing spread.
Retaining Walls and Hardscaping
Flagstone patios, retaining walls, decomposed granite walkways, and terracing for erosion control are standard Santa Fe landscaping. These jobs generate old concrete and stone from tear-outs and excavate through caliche for wall footings below the 18 to 24 inch frost line.
No Local Recycling Option
There is no C&D recycling facility in Santa Fe. County convenience centers prohibit construction debris. The nearest concrete recycling is 64 miles away in Albuquerque. A compact on-site crusher turns the disposal problem into usable aggregate without the round trip.

Is a Compact Crusher the Right Fit?
A Stronger Fit When:
- Suitable material is generated repeatedly
- The work is small to moderate in scale
- Haul-off and imported material are recurring concerns
- An appropriate excavator or loader is available to feed the machine
- Feed material can be prepared to the required size
- The processed material has an approved use
- The operation has appropriate space, controls, and trained personnel
- Concrete replacement work is frequent due to freeze-thaw damage
- Excavation jobs regularly produce caliche, limestone, or other crushable rock
- Tight-access sites like historic district renovations rule out larger equipment
A Weaker Fit When:
- The need is a one-time small cleanup
- Material is hazardous, asbestos-containing, contaminated, or otherwise unsuitable
- The feed cannot be prepared appropriately
- Project specifications prohibit use of recycled material
- The required production exceeds the machine's practical range
- There is no safe equipment and workflow to feed and manage the crusher
- The material is uncompressed adobe or mud brick, which is not a jaw-crusher feed

Brandon's Experience With RubbleCrusher
Brandon, Breaking Boulders · RC-J65 Jaw Crusher and RC-S48 Screen
Portability & Job-Site Access
"You can haul it around with a truck and trailer, no need for any big semis or anything like that. And we can get it into some pretty tight job sites. And that's really the best part about this machine."
Brandon · Breaking Boulders
Haul-Off & Fill Savings
"It saves quite a bit. One, you don't have to cart the debris off the site. And two, you don't have to haul in structural fill, so you kind of kill two birds with one stone."
Brandon · Breaking Boulders
Brandon describes his own operating experience. Actual savings and jobsite results depend on material, hauling, disposal, production requirements, operating conditions, and approved material use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete containing some reinforcing steel can be processed, but RubbleCrusher recommends removing as much rebar and other tramp metal as practical before crushing. Rebar can jam the crushing process or damage equipment if excessive or improperly prepared. The RC-J65's overband magnet helps remove smaller ferrous pieces that pass through the crusher, but it is not a substitute for proper feed preparation.
The jaw opening is 26 x 14 in (650 x 350 mm). A single maximum lump of approximately 20 x 11 in (500 x 280 mm) can physically enter the chamber, but RubbleCrusher recommends feeding 12 in minus material for consistent production and reduced wear. Oversize material slows production, increases jaw plate wear, and risks bridging. Break or shear oversized material before feeding.
The manufacturer rates the RC-J65 at 5 to 50 metric tonnes per hour (approximately 5.5 to 55 U.S. short tons per hour). Actual production varies significantly based on material type, feed size, moisture, reinforcement, feed consistency, output setting, operator practice, and site conditions. A contractor feeding clean, properly sized material at a steady rate will see very different results than one feeding irregular, wet, or oversized material intermittently.
The jaw crusher discharge setting is adjustable, which controls the maximum size of the crushed product. The actual gradation of the finished material depends on the feed material, the discharge setting, and how the material fractures. For projects requiring material separated into specific size ranges, adding the RC-S48 screening plant after the crusher allows material to be screened into up to three products. Whether the finished material satisfies a particular engineering or agency specification depends on the material, crusher settings, screen media, project requirements, and testing.
The RC-J65 can be fed with an appropriately sized excavator or skid-steer loader. The best setup depends on your material, bucket size, feed preparation, production goals, and jobsite layout. Equipment that cannot maintain a steady feed can limit production, while unnecessarily large support equipment may be inefficient for a compact crusher. Four Corners Equipment can review the complete feeding workflow with you before purchase.
At approximately 11,000 lb, the RC-J65 is designed as a compact, portable crusher that can be moved between jobsites considerably more easily than a full-size crushing spread. The appropriate truck, trailer, axle configuration, and any permitting requirements depend on the transport equipment being used and the jurisdictions involved. Verify trailer capacity, truck ratings, axle loading, total combination weight, and applicable transportation regulations before moving the machine.
Four Corners Equipment is based in Farmington, New Mexico, roughly 250 miles and a 3.5-hour drive from Santa Fe.

Most Santa Fe contractors haul construction debris to the Caja del Rio Landfill at $52.50 to $62.50 per ton. The Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station (BuRRT) accepts concrete and asphalt but only in pieces under 2 x 2 feet and in loads under 12,500 lbs. Santa Fe County convenience centers prohibit construction and demolition debris entirely. The nearest concrete recycling facilities are in Albuquerque, 64 miles from Santa Fe. A compact on-site crusher lets you process suitable material where it is generated instead of hauling it to one of these facilities.
NMDOT Standard Specification Section 302 explicitly allows crushed Portland cement concrete as aggregate base course material, provided the material meets the required gradation, LA Abrasion, R-value, and other engineering requirements. Whether recycled aggregate is permitted on a specific project depends on the project specifications, the engineer of record, and any applicable agency requirements. Always confirm that your crushed material meets the specification before placing it.

The RC-J65 is the compact jaw crusher used to break down concrete, asphalt, brick, block, and selected stone. The RC-S48 is a screening plant used to separate crushed or raw material into up to three sized products, making the J65 and S48 a useful combination when both crushing and screening are required. The RC-J72 is a larger crusher designed for larger feed and higher production, with a 28 x 16 in jaw, production capacity up to approximately 90 metric tonnes per hour, and an integral vibrating grizzly feeder. The right configuration depends on your material, volume, desired output, support equipment, and budget.
