• Works to facilitate development of …– end markets for recyclable materials– collection and processing infrastructure that supplies markets
• 2011 focus materials: mattresses, carpet and asphalt shingles
![Page 3: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• 29,000 tons of used asphalt shingles generated in King County
• Small but growing percentage recycled
• Valuable resource disposed
• Single market that’s still developing
Asphalt Shingles: status
![Page 4: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) – – Ground asphalt shingles– Nails removed by magnet– Screened to specified size (gradation)– Tear-Off (post-consumer)
RAS
![Page 5: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Use RAS in hot mix asphalt (HMA) for pavements– Roads– Parking lots– Facilities– Trails
Opportunity
![Page 6: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
National use of RAS in HMA
27 states allow RAS use on publicly-owned roads.

Benefits of using RAS in HMA
• Quality pavement—equivalent to traditional pavement
• Increase project sustainability– Using a recycled-content product– Reducing greenhouse gas emissions– Obtaining points for green building project certification
• Increase availability of HMA product containing RAS– We are encouraging agencies ask for the product– Increase shingles processing capacity (economic and jobs benefits)– Reduce the cost of paving

Local Roofers & Shingles RecyclingCalls with 3 Puget Sound roofers indicate high interest
in recycling shingles– Benefits cited:
• cost savings, convenience, and doing the right thing– Considerations raised were making collection easy
(separation requirements, facility distance) and confidence in long-term viability (future end markets)
– Information needs• more on Seattle’s proposed disposal ban• local recyclers• commercial roofing recycling options
![Page 9: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Local experience using RAS
• King County Roads– demonstration project• King County Solid Waste Division– Bow Lake Recycling & Transfer Station– Factoria Recycling & Transfer Station– Maintenance contract
• King County Parks– Aquatic Center parking lot
• Some commercial paving customers• But, what about Washington State DOT?

RAS and HMA specifications
Pave wear course with 3% RAS with 15% RAP
Collect local engineering data; conduct performance testing
Design considerations: • Minimize risk• Performance over time• Health, env. and safety
standards• Recognition by industry and
public agencies
Shingles in Paving Demonstration
Establish a strong local paving end market for recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) that captures the resource value of shingles and diverts this material from landfills

Roofing & Asbestos
For the demonstration:• Used asphalt shingles only
• Inspections of incoming loads
• Rigorous sampling and testing
What we learned:• Shingles themselves are a low risk• Important to ID asbestos on roof• Important to inspect roofing loads at
disposal and recycling facilities

SE 416th St (near Enumclaw)Paving completed in September, 2009
![Page 15: Tear-off Asphalt Shingles Recycling Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Bi-Annual Meeting November 3, 2011.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c9d5503460f9495c7e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Extensive material engineering tests conducted.
Initial results“…[n]o negative effect on pavement performance. “
1-year“…no significant effect, favorable or detrimental, on pavement performance.”
NextTesting through 2012, then a recommendation on continued use of RAS in King County.
Pavement Performance Results

State Effort to Allow RAS in HMALed by subcommittee of the WSDOT/WAPA Improving HMA Joint Task Force
– Started in October 2010– Objectives: review research and develop specifications
Draft specification will allow up to 5% RAS on select state paving pilot projects in 2012 (four or more)
– Require test sections for research and study
Given good pavement performance, allow use of RAS on case-by-case basis by 2014

Recycling Innovations• Roofers marketing recycling to gain market share• Roofers developing shingles recycling facilities of their own
– Missouri, Ohio, Colorado, Washington
• Shingles Manufacturers– promoting/investing in recycling
infrastructure and networks– Owens Corning– GAF Building Materials– CertainTeed Corporation
• Recyclers targeting tough materials such as commercial/flat roofing (Nationwide Foam)

Other Efforts in Support of RAS
• Puget Sound Clean Air Agency – Based on data LinkUp provided, PSCAA dropped asphalt shingles from asbestos suspect materials list
• Pushing the market– HMA producers are asking to use RAS on public projects– LinkUp program• Encouraging more King County projects and other local
governments to require RAS• Building a business case for why the state DOT should
allow RAS use sooner than later

Other Efforts
• City of Seattle – shingles disposal ban– Preparing its Solid Waste Management Plan– Draft plan includes proposed construction &
demolition material disposal bans– asphalt shingles in 2014– There will be a public hearing on the final plan to
gather any last input– For questions about the plan or process, contact
Gabriella Uhlar-Heffner at 206-286-9772 (before Nov 20th, contact Hans VanDusen at 206-684-4657)
