asphalt shingles
You can now recycle asphalt shingles at the Marathon County Solid Waste Dept. WHY RECYCLE SHINGLES? Research has found that adding 5% ground asphalt shingles to the hot-mix for paving and repairing roads improves its performance and makes it hold up better than a hot-mix without the ground up shingles.
FEES (subject to change):
$40 / ton
ALLOWED ONLY: Clean, non-asbestos asphalt shingles (nails or tar paper attached are acceptable) that come from residential sources, or commercial sources that have residential-like asphalt shingles.
NOT ALLOWED: Commercial roofing that is not residential, such as no membrane roofs, etc. Garbage, scrap metal (tin or aluminum), cellophane strips, wood sub-roofing materials, and other items from the shingles that are getting recycled, must be removed or the current tonnage waste disposal fee will be charged for the entire load.
RECOMMENDATION: Before arriving at the Marathon County Solid Waste Department, be sure all "allowable" shingles and other shingle recycling materials are separated from general waste and recyclables. At our shingle drop off area, we have dumpsters for any leftover garbage and recyclables. This area is monitored by staff and cameras. State law requires all loads be covered before transport.
OTHER RECYCLING OPTIONS: Other Options for Asphalt Shingle Recycling in Marathon County: Kafka Granite. Must call ahead 715-201-2181 . Asphalt only shingles (asbestos-free). Fees apply. Will only take the shingles with tar paper and nails (no aluminum or wood).
WHERE DO THE SHINGLES GO?
All recyclable shingles collected at our site go to a regional recycler. These shingles are ground, removing nails in the process. Ground shingles are added to hot mix asphalt for new roads and road repairs. Working with small, regional businesses helps them reduce their need for expensive virgin oil and helps them to remain competitive.

PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT.
When we recycle shingles, we show respect for our land. Why? Because it is so much better for old shingles to become reused, instead of ending up here as waste.
