why not, asphalt is just aggregate and bitumen, see a lot of old asphalt being crushed to reuse in new ashpalt

you need to come to norfolk LLL the highways direct and the contractors use tarmac planing as sub base for new footpath construction all the time so it has been approved by all lab results,rolled and compacted it no problem, £17.55 at round hear i often use it MSH

Ive always been told not to use scalpings as sub base, only for blinding.
Cookie where do you get your sub base from?im pretty near you. i pay £7.50t for scalpings and £12t for type1 limestone (per 20t)

Scalps are basically quarry waste! Would never use for a subase but for trimming up it would be OK.
