Asphalt shingles can absolutely be recycled, but the current recycling rate is about 9%. The surprisingly low rate is due to recycling costs and limited facilities, which leads to the unfortunate result of disposing old shingles into landfills, where they linger for an extended time due to their non-biodegradable nature.
While we wait for better asphalt-recycling infrastructures, contact Roof Maxx to help extend your shingles’ lifespan and keep them out of landfills for as long as possible.
