Roofing Waste, Go Green and Recycle
11 million tons of roofing waste are sent to our landfills each year. This unnecessary dumping can easily be avoided by choosing contractors that care about our world and well being. The main component of roofing shingles is asphalt. With asphalt being the material used to build roads, we can reduce the amount of landfill destined shingles by recycling and turning them into new or repaired roadways. Shingles can be ground down so that the asphalt is turned into almost a powder like substance. After the refining process, the recycled shingles can be installed by pavers and used for years and years and years instead of lying in a landfill. With very few shingle recyclers around, it is difficult to find contractors that have the ability to recycle the tear off shingles during roofing projects. If we can make these small contributions step by step, little by little, this 11 million tons of waste can be diverted and put into something so very useful to millions.
