Asphalt Shingles
|
Asphalt Shingles, both new trimmings and re-roof tearoffs. Most roofs are a candidate for recycling.
This is one program we are strongly encouraging our clients to take advantage of.
|
12 or 20 yard container can be used. There are savings to be had for loads that are properly segregated. Please call for full details, and for info on load limits.
Bottom line: we can recycle shingles that would otherwise be placed in the landfill.
|
Asphalt shingles can be ground up and processed; typical end use is for use in asphalt paving. Calgary's recycling efforts for this item are still in the developmental stage and efforts are ongoing.
