How Shingles are Recycled
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material. When it comes time to repair or replace your shingle roof those materials can be recycled and given new life again. Here’s a little more info on how to take a waste material and give it new life again!
Old or broken shingles typically end up in a landfill taking years and years to break down. Recycling takes those shingles and makes them into new roofing materials or as the major component in asphalt roadways. According to Earth911.com, the materials from an average-sized roof can be used to pave 200 feet of a two-lane highway.
Major players in the roofing industry such as Owens Corning and GAF are committed to shingle recycling and inventing new ways to make the process easier and more accessible.
To find out if shingle recycling is available in your area, speak with a trusted contractor such as Phoenix Roofing.
