Saving Money and recycling makes sense.

Have you considered recycling low slope tear off material!

We have been recycling our shingles for a few years now. It is kind of funny, because Indiana just started allowing recycled asphalt in roads as well. Sure saves us money and beats filling the landfill.

Here in Kalamazoo, they have a new operation that recycles asphalt shingles. we had one lastt year and they closed because of problems with the contract they had to sell it to road pavers. It seems that the Michigan DOT wpould not come up with a spec as to how much of the recycled asphalt could be used in the roads and that screwed them. There is lots of asphalt in the shingles anyway.

Mike, great to have you back. I have been missing your pictures and comments. Old School

I appreciate your comments, it is amazing how much of the membranes and insulation goes into a landfill. Butmun is tough, we have limited markets, but cannot offer the service nationwide. We do take Sarnifil Membrane - we recycle it, but I hear what you are saying about what they say they do. It is important to let recyclers do the recycling and those that manufacture the material partner up with a recycler. It does not make sense and it is not sustainable to demand that all membranes be put recycled membrane back into membrane. Opportunities exist for other re-manufactured products from these materials
