  • What materials do you accept at your recycling facility, and how should I prepare my load for drop-off? 

    We accept loads that are at least 90% asphalt shingles. Small amounts of paper, plastic, and minimal wood (e.g., plywood, pallets) are acceptable. Shingles do not need to be free of nails. However, excessive amounts of other debris may result in additional fees or rejection. Please secure your load to prevent spillage during transport.

  • Do you provide pick-up services for shingle recycling?

    We do not offer pick-up services directly. However, you can bring your shingles to our facility for recycling, or utilize our dumpster rental service for convenient disposal.

  • What is the process for recycling asphalt shingles?

    Our recycling process involves collecting asphalt shingles as construction and demolition (C&D) material. The shingles are then sorted by removing debris and contaminants. Once cleaned, the reclaimed asphalt is sent off as a recyclable material to our end site. At the end site, the shingles are ground down and repurposed for use in new road construction projects. This process helps reduce waste and supports sustainable infrastructure development.




  • What happens to the shingles after they are dropped off?

    Recycled asphalt shingles can be processed into asphalt pavement, road base, and other materials, helping to reduce landfill waste and support sustainability.

  • Can homeowners drop off shingles, or is it only for contractors?

    Both homeowners and contractors are welcome to drop off shingles, as long as they meet our material guidelines. Please be aware there is a 1-ton minimum on all loads.

  • Do you accept other roofing materials like rubber or metal roofing?

    No, we only accept asphalt shingles. Other roofing materials, such as metal, slate, or rubber roofing, must be disposed of elsewhere.

  • Do I need an appointment to drop off the shingles?

    No appointment is needed, but please be at the facility at least 20 minutes before closing. This will give us adequate time to offload and process your shingles before closing.

  • What happens if my load does not meet your material requirements?

    If your load contains excessive contamination, you may-

    • Have your load rejected if it does not meet our guidelines.
    • Be charged additional fees.
  • Is there a minimum charge for shingle recycling?

    Yes, there is a 1-ton minimum charge on all loads.
