The Georgia Department of Transportation (GADOT) has an approved specification for the use of both manufacturers' shingle scrap and tear-off (post-consumer) shingle scrap (see link below).  Recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in the recycled mixture are limited to no more than 5% of the total weight of the hot-mix asphalt mixture.  Shingle recyclers using post consumer RAS are required to provide test results for bulk sample analysis (Polarized Light Microscopy) to certify the RAS material is asbestos free.  Please contact your state officials for more information on shingle recycling facility permitting requirements (see link below). 

There are two shingle recycling facilities in Georgia.  Both facilities recycle manufacturers' shingle scrap which is used in HMA and cold patch applications.  For more information see the link to the Georgia Shingle Recyclers below.
