At RCM Alabama, we’re committed to keeping Birmingham clean, sustainable, and environmentally responsible—and one of the biggest ways we make that happen is through our convenient on-site recycling services. Whether you’re a contractor clearing a job site, a landscaper hauling debris, or a homeowner looking to responsibly dispose of materials, we make recycling easy.

Here’s a breakdown of the materials we accept, how the process works, and everything you need to know before visiting our facility—including our popular Christmas tree recycling program.

Materials Accepted at Our On-Site Recycling Facility

We process a wide variety of recyclable construction, landscaping, and organic materials. Bring them to our Birmingham location, and we’ll handle the sorting, processing, and repurposing.

✔ Concrete

We accept dirty concrete. It’s crushed and repurposed into aggregates used in construction and roadwork.

✔ Asphalt

Recycled asphalt (RAP) is in high demand for paving and driveway projects. We accept clean chunks or milled asphalt for processing.

✔ Brick & Masonry

Whether it’s leftover material from a renovation or debris from demolition, brick and masonry can be repurposed into durable base materials.

✔ Rock & Stone

Landscape rock, gravel, marble, and similar materials can be reused for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

✔ Dirt & Soil

We accept clean fill dirt free from contaminants and debris.

✔ Organic Materials

This includes:

• Brush

• Limbs

• Logs

• Yard debris

• And Christmas trees—one of our most popular seasonal recycling items

Organic materials are processed into mulch or ground cover, keeping them out of landfills and giving them new life in local landscaping projects.
