Ramirez "didn't say anything'' in response to the recycling idea, Chasm recalled. But the idea clicked, Breider said. Ramirez soon decided that he, too, could grind up old concrete and put it in the mix. Ramirez got the port's permission in 2003 to set up a portable crusher for concrete recycling at his Pier 80 plant. He told officials he needed it to break up old material so he could use it for a concrete pad to be poured for a larger plant on nearby Pier 94, where the port had given him...
