We seperate the shingles from everything else and it is all ground up and sent to be re-used by a big paving contractor. A couple thousand tons here in the last year. The same company runs similiar plants though much larger in 3 or 4 other Michigan cities. In Lansing I guess they ground the shingles and also got 47,000 pounds of nails and metal at the same time. A very good program. If yuou keep everything seperated: ie. paper and junk it is cheaper than the transfer station. By 70% so it is win win for us.>>>
The metals mostly some EPDM for fire wood covers and such.>>>
Sorry Sarah, i love landfills...oooops :dry:>>>
