New! Asphalt Shingle Guidelines for Residential Contractors

Taking out the trash

Abstract
As the roofing industry moves toward more sustainable practices, dealing with construction waste is becoming more than placing discarded materials in a bin to be hauled off to a landfill. Regulatory agencies, building owners and designers are requiring minimization of new construction waste along with recycling demolition waste. Many times, this requires contractors to develop a construction and demolition waste management plan.
