1. A method of producing an aggregate product comprising the steps of: providing an aggregate material having an R-value of less than approximately 75 MIN; and introducing a percentage weight greater than approximately 11% of crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product; said aggregate product having an R-value greater than approximately 78 MJN. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said introducing step is accomplished by introducing a percentage weight of approximately 11% to 20% crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein said introducing step is accomplished by introducing a percentage weight of approximately 12% to 18% crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein said introducing step is accomplished by introducing a percentage weight of approximately 15% crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product. 5. A method of producing an aggregate product comprising the steps of: providing an aggregate material; and introducing a percentage weight greater than approximately 11% of crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product; said aggregate material and said aggregate product conforming with following grading and quality specifications: TBL MATERIAL PRODUCTAGGREGATE GRADING SIEVE SIZE % PASSING 1" 100 100 3/4" 92-95 90-100 No. 4 30-40 35-55 No. 30 15-25 10-30 No. 200 8-12 2-9AGGREGATE QUALITY SAND EQUIVALENT 20-25 MIN. 25 MIN.

The method of claim 5 wherein said introducing step is accomplished by introducing a percentage weight of approximately 15% crushed glass material into said aggregate material to form said aggregate product. 10. A method of producing an aggregate product having an R-value greater than 78, said method comprising the steps of: providing an aggregate material formed of base rock; determining said aggregate material has an R-value of less than 75; providing crushed glass having the consistency of coarse sand; and introducing a percentage weight greater than approximately 11% of said crushed glass into and combined with said aggregate material to form said aggregate product. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein said aggregate material is conveyed along a conveyor and said percentage weight of crushed glass is metered with a variable speed frequency controller as said crushed glass is added to said aggregate material. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein belt scales are utilized to meter the weight of said crushed glass and said aggregate material to control the introduction of said percentage weight of crushed glass into said aggregate material.
