The Virginia Department of Transportation has set specifications for use of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in the state’s mixes. These specifications permit both pre and post-consumer RAS use. 

The recycling (grinding, etc) of shingles in Virginia would require a solid waste permit-by-rule for a materials recovery facility.  If a facility permit was developed for processing shingles, screening procedures for the shingles would be placed in the permit in order to screen out asbestos and other unwanted waste materials.  There are no specific requirements in Virginia regulation on sampling frequency. Contact the state for more information.

For recycling information, contact the state to see what the regulatory interests are in a specific project.
