Default what happens to leftover concrete?

I had a large double thick plastic sheet for the trucks at the end
of the day to clean out and during the lunch hour. Depending on the
job, it is eat on-the-fly or take a 30 minute. I did Two pour jobs
the second was two slabs (one small - 20x30.) The other was 40x60
and it was gull winged with the head down and tail down.
That is - the sides tipped outward, center ran towards the head and the
tail end was a 18" ramp up to a 90 degree down slope.
No water standing on that baby! Green house sits on it.

The little ones were just before lunch. We worked through lunch...

The first option basically means you can toss together a form FAST and
pour the rest for a step or similar.
I know the outfits around here normally mix VERY close to order, so you
want to plan ahead.


I just (had) placed and finished a 10yd job which I formed. The guy
ordered the load, and when they finished, they had only "clinkers" in the
barrel. They had ONE 2-gallon bucket-full left.

In that case, it's not worth their going to a washout yard. I told him
to just wash out in a low spot at the entrance to the barn. If I'd told
him "No", he'd have had to haul it back. That's the code here.

Local stuff varies. Some absolutely prohibit washing out on anywhere but
at a disposal site or the mix plant. Some will let them wash out
anywhere nobody cares.

Good business - job done with no significant waste.

What the county doesn't know about , the county doesn't know
about.
Call it "erosion control" and their good.

Around here you can wash out pretty much anywhere, as long as you don't
dump it into any waterways. Go into the bigger towns and cities and they
pay attention.

Have you ever been looking at undeveloped land and walked up to a mound of dried concrete?

Can anyone point me in a direction where I can locate the companies manufacturing the cement in either Dubai or Oman?
