We Recycle Shingles into
Hot Mix Asphalt
B. R. Amon & Sons, Inc. was the first
company (in 2007) to beneficially reuse residential tear-off shingle material x asphalt. We have been on the leading edge of
recycled shingle use because:
 | It turns a wasteful landfill bulk into a useful
product |
|
| It helps save the environment |
|
| It saves on imported oil (asphalt) use |
|
| It decreases the mined aggregate input going into
Hot Mix Asphalt |
|
| It makes a beautiful finished product |
|
| Wisconsin Department of Transportation has approved
the use of recycled shingles on even the highest traffic roads |
|
| Contractors now have a reliable outlet for
otherwise an unwanted waste |
|
| Asphalt shingles contain a strengthening fiber that
actually reduces pavement rutting by it's incorporation |
|
| Asphalt shingles contain on average 22% asphalt oil
or bitumen |
|
| Complies with certain State of Wisconsin mandates
and goals |
|
| Asphalt single recycling meets green building
initiatives which conserve and protect natural resources |
|
| For every ton of asphalt singles that are recycled
7 pounds of roofing nails are also recycled. |
|
| For every ton recycled approximately 1 cubic yard
of landfill space is conserved |
|
| Simply, it is the right thing to do |
|
How it works:
Is there asbestos in recycled shingles?
| Asbestos use in roofing shingles was discontinued
in the early 1970's |
|
| We test the processed material several times a day
during production to see that asbestos is not present, even at the lower
exposure limit determined by national standard |
|
| Most roofs last about 20 years so any tear
offs are likely to come from newer constructed roofs with out any
possibility of asbestos |
|
| In 100's of test done in our facility and also
1000's by
the Florida DOT asbestos has not been present at even the lower exposure limit
amounts |
|
| Roof flashing materials and rolled roofing that may contain a
detectable level of asbestos are sorted and removed from the material
during the sorting process and they aren't used in the final processed product |
|
| The processed material then becomes only a small
percentage of the final hot mix asphalt that goes into your pavement |
|
In The State of Wisconsin between 300,000 and 400,000
tons of residential tear-off shingles are generated
B. R. Amon & Sons, Inc. is working to help save the
environment
