Moving towards a more sustainable construction industry
Aggregate recycling diverts construction waste from landfill, reduces demand on virgin product and creates a quality, cost effective alternative.
Vernon Developments are industry leaders in the production of recycled aggregates.
We have developed equipment and processes to make the most of aggregate waste that was being underutilised or destined for landfill, creating an affordable, high quality product.
In our mission to reuse and recycle as much product as possible, this service is accessible to contractors of any size.
Our recycled aggregate products
Crushed Aggregate
We recycle any product used as a form of hard fill material in civil works or construction, and recycle it into crushed aggregates in a range of specs, from base course to fines (100 mm to 7 mm) and chip material.
We accept clean aggregates, with no contamination or reinforcing, free of charge to encourage recycling. We sell wholesale directly to civil, industrial, commercial and residential construction clients.
Bitumen
We take used bitumen based aggregate waste, reprocess it, and sell it as a new, more efficient bitumen product for use in roading and construction. We produce a variety of membrane chip and RAP aggregate, which is used in chip seal or asphalt manufacturing, and our VD range of bitumen based aggregate hard fill.
This product is different to conventional aggregate, with different stability parameters and greater ease of repairs. It is ideal for use in a rural or commercial environment.
"We want to encourage recycling and reusing throughout the construction industry, from civil works, engineering and roading firms, to commercial and residential construction."

Where it started
Better for business, better for the future.
Vernon Developments cartage division was regularly hauling a significant volume of construction waste to landfill. Seeing the scale of waste dumped on a daily basis gave a graphic illustration of a problem facing both the industry and the sustainable future of the country we are proud to call home. As natural problem solvers, we started to look at how we could be part of the solution.
While there were already players in the recycled aggregate space, we realised we needed to develop ways to make the recycled product more affordable so it would become a product of choice. We secured the right equipment for the job and through an extensive process of trial and error, including making modifications to the factory machinery, we have developed proprietary processes that produce high quality, competitively priced aggregate products.
Feedback
“Vernon Developments did an excellent job using their recycled aggregate to quickly re-profile our yard to make it suitable for heavy traffic. I would certainly recommend the services they provide”
