Method of recycling a crushed asphalt concrete comprising a friable mixture of asphalt and aggregate particles produced by breaking down a recycled asphalt/aggregate concrete by milling or crushing or the like. The aggregate particles include a substantial portion of the surfaces thereof which are substantially free of adhered asphalt material. The crushed asphalt concrete is mixed with a minor amount of hydraulic cement and water to produce a plastic mixture of the crushed asphalt concrete and hydraulic cement. The plastic mixture is transported to a utilization site such as a building site, road or parking lot and spread on a substrate surface to provide a layer of asphalt concrete pavement. The layer of asphalt concrete pavement has a 7-day compressive strength, typically no more than 1,000 psi, e.g., 150-800 psi. The cement is present in an amount within the range of 1-14 wt. %, more specifically, within the range of 2-10 wt. % of the crushed asphalt concrete and any added aggregate. A mixing assembly comprises a moveable conveyor which loads to a mixing mill. The crushed asphalt concrete is deposited on the conveyor to provide a relatively thin layer of the crushed asphalt concrete. Hydraulic cement is dispensed on the layer of crushed asphalt concrete and the crushed concrete and hydraulic cement is conveyed to the mixing mill. Water is added in an amount effective to produce a plastic mixture. The plastic mixture is recovered from the mixing mill and transferred to a utilization site.
