When faced with my own home reroofing project, I was happy to find three independant companies in my state (Connecticut) dedicated to recycling asphalt shingles for the road-paving industry. Through my contractor I arranged for the delivery of the appropriately-sized dedicated dumpster to receive the old shingles and then haul it back to the recycling company. That was one huge environmentally -weighted concern lifted off my shoulders. My first stop in the process however, was EBN which had highlighted the the recycling industry in a past article. THANK YOU EBN !
