The presented article gives a brief overview on the possible use of crushed rubber from waste tires in asphalt mixtures. Advantages, disadvantages and difficulties of its use in road construction are also discussed. The results of sieve analysis and thermal analysis obtained on the samples prepared from waste rubber are discussed. The use of recycled tire rubber in road construction can contribute significantly to the reduction of environmental load.
