Several years ago my husband witnessed the dumping of truckloads of asphalt dirt in our neighbor's backyard. These were huge chunks of asphalt. Then the owner covered it with clean dirt so no one would see the asphalt dirt beneath it. The owner of the property used the asphalt dirt to level off his backyard and raise it a bit more since the property has some low spots. My husband don't have any recollection of the removal of the asphalt dirt. Right now, the property is for sale and I don't believe the realtor is aware of the asphalt soil in the backyard. Is this considered a hazard? a soil contamination? an environmental violation? Keep in mind this is a residential property. If in fact proven that the presence of asphalt is still in the backyard and the realtor is made aware of it, will the realtor be obligated to disclose of the matter? This is puzzling to me so any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Old asphalt can be used to add to the mix of road asphalt and for other uses. How much is actually recycled, and what are the obstacles? Have you been successful in having your old shingles be recycled, instead of just having them hauled away to a landfill?

I have an asphalt driveway and over time my cars have created tracks in the driveway. I want to know how i can fill the indented track, easiest and cheapest way. My friend said the put down Quikcrete and then put asphalt patch down over it. I think the concrete will crack and crumble though. what are your thoughts?
