Pennsylvania Environmental Protection allows for recycling of both pre and post consumer recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) and issues the WMGM039 permit to recyclers. The permitting process requires asbestos testing for 1 out of every 10 truckloads or on loads expected of having shingles containing asbestos. Accepted RAS must not be hazardous waste and recyclers are expected to comply with all air and water regulations.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has specifications allowing for the use of RAS from manufacturer waste.
