We come to your stockpile

  1. 1
    You collect the shingles
    Asphalt producers take in tear-offs from roofers and build a stockpile at the plant. Roofers can also drop shingles at our Bishop Road or Abbey Green sites at our regular construction debris rate.
  2. 2
    We bring the grinder to you
    When the pile is ready, our crew mobilizes a horizontal grinder to your plant and grinds the shingles to your spec, on your schedule.
  3. 3
    It goes into your mix
    You blend the ground shingles (RAS) into hot mix asphalt and buy less new binder.

Built for asphalt producers, roofers and recyclers

Asphalt producers

Most of our work: we mobilize to your plant and grind your stockpile into recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) that meet your hot mix specs, cutting how much new binder you have to buy.

Roofing contractors

Bring your tear-offs to Bishop Road in Greensboro or Abbey Green in Winston-Salem. Same rate as any construction debris load, and the shingles get recycled instead of buried.

Landfills and recyclers

We bring the grinder to your stockpile and process it on site, anywhere from North Carolina to Florida.

We haul the grinder to your plant

Our grinders travel on our lowboys, so your plant gets ground shingles without buying, running or maintaining a grinder.

Our crew sets up, grinds your stockpile with our excavator and loader, and moves on to the next plant. One call covers the trucking, the equipment and the operators.

Trusted by asphalt producers across the Southeast

Asphalt producers across six southeastern states bring our grinding crews back to their plants year after year.

Our grinding crews at work

Our five mobile horizontal grinders, loaders and operators, set up wherever the shingles are.
