All materials are weighed and source separated into the prospective bins: metal, steel, wood, non-recyclables, and the materials that go into the recycled content road base. The remaining asphalt shingles are ground up into RAS (recycled asphalt shingles) and mixed in with ground materials that have been generated from their demolition jobs, other C&D sites, and concrete, asphalt, brick products from the public drop off.
Metals are recycled through local metal recycling businesses. Wood is available as fire wood free to the public.
