Owens Corning has announced that it will partner with Heritage Environmental Services to offer a national recycling program for its asphalt shingles. The program will provide contractors with access to recycling facilities nationwide through Owens Corning’s preferred contractor program, making recycling convenient and cost-effective. According to Owens Corning, this is the first program of its kind.

When recycled, asphalt shingles are ground up and added to hot-mix asphalt used in road construction and repair. More information is available at http://roofing.owenscorning.com.
