Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt Shingle Recycling Program Approaches Milestone

TOLEDO, Ohio — Launched in 2009, the Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt Shingle Recycling Program was the first initiative of its kind in the roofing industry to bring together homeowners and contractors committed to reducing the amount of shingle waste that ends up in local landfills. 

Now, after just four years, the Recycling Program is approaching a landmark milestone: more than one million tons of asphalt shingles recycled. In addition, the program continues to expand with current availability in more than 90 markets across the country and nearly 500 participating contractors. More than 60 percent of U.S. homeowners now live within 30 miles of a shingle recycler that is a member of the Owens Corning Roofing Recycler Network.
