California Roofing Company Saves by Recycling

HLR Roofing partners with Granite Construction to recycle roofing material.

 

A Ukiah, Calif., roofing company has partnered with a construction firm to recycle roofing material, according to a report in the Ukiah Daily Journal (Ukiah, Calif.).

 

HLR Roofing takes about 80 percent of its tear-off to Granite Construction Co., Watsonville, Calif. In the case of a current job re-roofing buildings in a local shopping plaza, that amounts to about 90 tons of concrete tile roofing, according to the report.

 

Granite construction then crushes the material and reuses it for road surfacing and an aggregate base for roadways.

 

The deal has a positive impact on the bottom lines of both companies—HLR Roofing saves on its disposal costs and Granite Construction saves on material, according to the report.
