1. Jim Dykes President Dykes Paving & Construction Inc. Atlanta, Georgia Presented at: The 3 rd ASPHALT SHINGLE RECYCLING FORUM

2. Why We Recycle Rising costs and increased restrictions for landfillsRising costs and increased restrictions for landfills 11million tons of shingle waste is produced each year11million tons of shingle waste is produced each year Less than 5% of shingle waste is recycledLess than 5% of shingle waste is recycled

3. Benefits to Recycling Shingles are composed of 20% to 40% liquid ACShingles are composed of 20% to 40% liquid AC Fiber and polymers from shingles can add strength to mix designFiber and polymers from shingles can add strength to mix design Can be added to HMA to offset liquid AC costs or to create new mixesCan be added to HMA to offset liquid AC costs or to create new mixes

4. Bottom Line An available 11 million tons of shingle waste, containing 20% liquid ACAn available 11 million tons of shingle waste, containing 20% liquid AC 2.2 million tons of reclaimable liquid AC2.2 million tons of reclaimable liquid AC At $300.00 per ton that’s $660 million worth of liquid asphalt every yearAt $300.00 per ton that’s $660 million worth of liquid asphalt every year DO THE MATH!

6. Sort and Prep Remove any unwanted trash from shingles such as wood or metalRemove any unwanted trash from shingles such as wood or metal Paper may stay on manufacturer rejectsPaper may stay on manufacturer rejects

7. Problems to Overcome Tear-offsTear-offs  Intensive pre-processing  More contamination than manufacturer rejects  Smell from mold Environmental IssuesEnvironmental Issues  Dust control  E.P.A. regulations concerning stockpile locations and size.

8. Problems to Overcome Allocating spaceAllocating space  Locations for equipment  Covered or enclosed area to keep stockpile cool Crossing the economic barrierCrossing the economic barrier  Most unsuccessful attempts to recycle and incorporate shingle into mixes are due to improper sizing  Best approach is to add the extra equipment necessary to process shingle down to sufficient size

22. Loaded Wheel Test Study Showed that Blend 1, with no fines, had the greatest strength Important to note that strength increases as the mix cures. It may initially be very soft, but with time and traffic, ruts will be significantly reduced. All lab testing performed by Pavement Technology Inc.

23. Field Test: Proving ground for new asphalt mix designs at Waste Management transfer station in Norcross, Georgia.
