lets face it, your not building the m6 and the stuff you crushed looks good and should be fit for use.

all of the major multi nationals recycle all of the material from demo works.

I have one builder over in potters bar who crushes everything on the smallest setting, mixes it with sand and cement, and chucks it in as footings!
The building inspector passes it, so it cannot be too bad!

Id have thought a chair would have been a little more comfortable ;) Aslong as it whacks solid enough i dont see the problem in using it under patios and pedestrain paths. Alot of our waste is taken away by a local firm who recycle it. Dont get me wrong some of the stuff you get out of the place is not that great, but you can always find some use for it somewhere
