Here in Atlanta, we are frequently asked, "What is Green Roofing?" In a nutshell, green can be simply described as reduce, reuse, and recycle.For more

To Reduce energy needs, for you. Every little bit makes a difference, and it all adds up. Minimize pollutants in the air, water, and buildings indoors, as well as air, water, and land outdoors. Reduce material wastage. The key here is to ensure that any raw material is recycled or used again for other purposes and is not lost.

Reuse components, such as old cedar shingles which can be shredded into chips and used on hiking trails, and also on residential landscaping. Since cedar decomposes, it doesn’t need to end up in a landfill. New recycling opportunities are being discovered for old asphalt shingles. They can be milled and used as filler in residential road way asphalt mix. Currently, this is a minimal use, and there are plenty of asphalt roofs coming off and getting dumped in landfills. We encourage our clients to place their new sustainable, Energy Star Cool Metal Roofing material straight on top of their asphalt shingles. Slate roofing can be removed, broken up, and used as landscaping gravel. If you remove an old metal roof, it can often be reused on sheds, or sometimes recycled.

Recycle. Architectural metals are easily recycled, and you can often get paid for them at a scrap yard. Most any plastic items can also be handed in, but you usually need to deliver it to a recycle center near Atlanta.For help click here.
