Greensite Recycling is a new asphalt shingle recycling venture in Winnipeg, Manitob,a Canada. As a family owned and operated business that has been in existence since April 2009, Greensite is a drop off and recycling depot that collects tear off shingles from roofing companies in the greater Winnipeg area and now serves more than 30 different roofing contractors. The shingles are processed into a valuable recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) product, which is then hauled to local hot-mix asphalt (HMA) producers to be used in asphalt paving mix.Lead by John Krueger, the family has been in the roofing industry for more than 30 years and continues to run a roofing company based in Winnipeg. This new shingles recycling program is based on the concept of receiving clean, separated loads of shingles in order to minimize the sorting at the processing site before grinding. As a spin-off of a local roofing company, Greensite's philosophy is that quality control for the recycling of shingles begins on the roof.Because Greensite Recycling was founded by and for roofing contractors, key elements of its strategy for success have included: convenient location relative to local landfills; responsive hours of operation; discounted tipping fees for clean loads; and relatively easy sorting instructions for the roofers. more...
