| 1. A method for recycling a paved surface, comprising:
providing a motorized vehicle adapted to traverse a paved surface;
providing the motorized vehicle with a plurality of degradation elements, a plurality of foaming elements and a plurality
of compacting elements;
at least two of the degradation elements being adapted for independent movement relative to each other;
each plurality being attached to a carriage slidably supported by a bearing surface of an underside of the motorized vehicle;
degrading the paved surface with the plurality of degradation elements as the vehicle traverses the paved surface;
foaming rejuvenation material by the plurality of foaming elements into the degraded surface as the surface is being degraded;
and
compacting the degraded surface and the rejuvenation material into a new surface with the plurality of compaction elements
as the foaming elements continue to foam rejuvenation material into the degraded surface.
