Hawaii is not currently recycling asphalt shingles.  In 1999 they conducted a feasibility study on the use of tear-off recycled asphalt shingles in HMA applications but further research is needed.  The Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch is willing to work with companies interested in promoting shingle recycling.  A shingle recycling operation would need to apply for a permit-by-rule with the Department of Health, Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch.  Please contact John Valera for additional information.
