3R Recycling
Commercial Shingle Grinding Service
Recycled Asphalt Shingles in Hot Mix Asphalt
Using recycled asphalt shingles in hot mix asphalt (HMA) has
been a developing technology for more than two decades with
growing acceptance by both construction contractors and
government agencies. With the recent spike in asphalt and cement
prices, there is increasing pressure to find such acceptable recycled
supplements to virgin materials. Every state has their own specifications for using recycled asphalt shingles in their hot mix designs. Our experts know these specs and can produce the appropriate material. With our hot mix design specialist on staff, we help asphalt producers meet their individual needs. We are always on top of all regulations so we can produce the right product for each customer.

We perform wood grinding services both on and off-site, with excavation of all types.
We grind wood waste for municipalities as well as for the private sector, such as large construction sites, road sites, and developments.While brush and wood debris collected by other companies is generally disposed of in a landfill, 3R Recycling grinds the debris into mulch and creates compost products that are then sold to the public in the form of landscaping materials.This grinding service also recycles and reduces the waste stream throughout the state, relieving the burden from landfills and municipalities, which is a growing environmental concern.

As a nation, the U.S. uses a large amount of wood and generates a significant volume of wood waste in the MSW and C&D, construction and demolition, and waste streams. The efficient reuse and recycling of wood waste presents an opportunity to extend our timber resource, reduce consumption of new resources, conserve landfill space, reduce costs through avoided purchase/disposal fees, preserve carbon storage, reduce energy and environmental burdens of producing ‘new’ products, and create ‘green’ jobs.
