Roof Recycling ׀ Reuse Shingles ׀ Construction Waste ׀ Going Green

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

Roof recycling can help pave the way to a better world. Besides that you can also help decrease future landfill waste.

According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),  up to 10 million tons of recyclable shingles is removed from the roofs of U.S. structures per year.

Only 950,000 tons of recycled asphalt roofing shingles were used in new asphalt pavement mixes in the United States in 2017, according to National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA),  which is less than 10% of all shingle waste.

Select Affordable Roofing by John Cadwell, Inc. for your next roof replacement and recycle your torn-off shingles (see service areas below). Hence, your old shingles can become repurposed into new road pavement.

Asphalt shingles are a recyclable material.
