Tips For Recycling Used Roofs

January 3, 2018 by Mike W Leave a Comment

Recycling used roof materials is not only a great way to help save the environment. Reusing materials from your roof can also save you money and give you a freedom to be creative.

Most roofing tiles and even the layers beneath are made of artificial material like asphalt. It will take time for them to naturally degrade if they are simply thrown out. Disposing or recycling them properly can go a long way.

The different parts of roofs, especially the shingles, can be sent to recyclers for a fee. Recyclers can then mix the material for other projects, such as paving asphalt roads. You can also use the following tips to recycle used roofs safely and successfully.

Tip #1: Add style to your interior home

Old roofing materials such as shingles can add more character to the interior of your house. Like red bricks, shingles can add a unique texture and rustic feeling to any space.

The roofing tiles can be arranged on the walls and ceilings in any pattern. Differently colored shingles collected over time can add even more flair.

Tip #2: Use roofing felt for smaller roofing projects

Tips For Recycling Used Roofs

Roofing felt is a type of base material that is found underneath roofing shingles. It is a type of underlayment as well. The material of roofing felt is very complex, making it difficult to break down or recycle. However, it can be reused. If you have enough roofing felt leftover, you can use the roofing felt for yard projects. They can be cut to cover things like bird tables and pet houses.

Tip #3: Anti-slip path for the winter

This winter season, any measure to add grip and stability to icy pathways would be great. While road salts are generally used, recycled shingles are a great alternative. This is because roofing tiles are designed to withstand different conditions, making them ideal anti-slip material. As such, you can lay down a layer of roofing tiles on one side of your pathways and walkways.

Tip #4: Contact a roofing professional

Before you commit to construction projects and recycling roofs, you need to ensure safety and proper procedure. A roofing company that specializes in repair and replacement can guide you in separating the different roofing materials and scraps.

Roofing professionals may also advise you on what type of materials can be further recycled and what needs to be binned. Most companies also offer cleanup services so you can proceed straight away to having your new roof installed.
