Shingle Recycling in Atlanta

Did You Know There is Shingle Recycling in Atlanta?

Over 10 Million tons of shingles are torn off roofs in America. Rather than filling up our land fills (approximately 5% of waste per year), Pro Roofing & Siding is committed to the environment and participating in a shingle recycling program. We are the second largest recycler in the area. When a new roofing system is installed the old one often comes off. The shingles are driven to a plant in Alabama, sorted by taking out all metal, wood and plastic and the asphalt shingles are ground into about 3/8″ pieces. These pieces are mixed and used for hot asphalt for paving roads.

The average home of shingle recycling in Atlanta creates about 200′ of 2 lane highway. Studies have shown that adding up to 20% of recycled shingles to the pavement’s asphalt has reduced rutting and cracking in our roads.
