Shingles (Asphalt)

Alternative ways to recycle
Take to Landfill

Find a Shingle Recycler

Asphalt shingles are easily recycled, though they require a special facility for processing. Locate the nearest shingle recycling facility.

Do Not Remove Nails

Shingle recyclers accept material with nails in it, so do not remove the nails. The recycling operators use a powerful magnet to separate nails from the asphalt.

Alternative Ways to Recycle

Ask Your Contractor If They Recycle

Before hiring a contractor to work on your roof, see if they can recycle the asphalt shingles for you.
