A one-year-old pilot project involving local and state agencies that recycles tear-off shingles for use in hot mix asphalt for road paving is showing promise, according to project participants.
The Shingles in Paving Demonstration Project is the first in the state to use recycled asphalt shingles to pave a public road. Eleven other states already use recycled asphalt shingles in asphalt pavements.
