GAF makes a multiyear commitment to sponsor the Find-A-Recycler section of ShingleRecycler.org, a resource for information about recycling asphalt shingles.
Preparing a roof for recycling is quite straightforward-shingles, felt, and nails are kept separate while the old roofing is being removed, and other materials that come off the roof are then placed on top of the load for separate recycling. During the shingle grinding process, nails are removed by powerful magnets, and are recycled as well. In order to operate on a national scale, GAF’s program does not require roofing contractors to lock in with any specific recycling company, but encourages them to use a recycler listed on ShingleRecycling.org.
