The article is devoted to the problems of the use of building waste in the demolition of houses, as well as substandard products at housing enterprises. The issues of concrete scrap processing, methods of its crushing to obtain materials that can be reused to create reinforced concrete products and structures are considered. Concrete scrap has been investigated for compliance with requirements for large aggregate for construction works. Compositions based on conventional coarse aggregate, concrete scrap and conventional fine aggregate have been developed. For the compositions, the technological characteristics of the concrete mixture are determined, as well as the physical and mechanical characteristics of the concrete at 28 days of age. The use of such compositions for the production of reinforced concrete structures is justified.
