Based in San Antonio, Texas, Alamo Recycle Centers is a Construction & Demolition (C&D) recycling facility promoting the environmentally friendly and economically feasible recycling of construction & demolition material. Striving for 100% diversion of all C&D material previously bound for the landfill, Alamo Recycle Centers is committed to finding alternative uses for all C&D material.
Alamo receives its C&D debris from two main sources - either through the rental and placement of roll off containers on C&D job sites, and/or from the delivery of C&D debris to one of our recycling facilities. Greater than 95% of this material received by Alamo is then processed and converted into renewable energy or used to make new products, thus lessening our dependency on virgin materials and fossil fuels.
Just as asphalt is the most recycled product in America, Alamo Recycle Centers receives, cleans, tests and processes more asphalt shingles than any other product. In addition to shingle recycling, Alamo Recycle Centers also recycles wood, metals, paper, cardboard, some plastics and tires.
Alamo Recycle Centers is currently working to increase the number of recycling facilities it owns and operates throughout Texas and the southern United States, thus helping the Construction & Demolition industry to decrease it's environmental footprint. Check back soon for announcements regarding future recycling facilities.
The benefits of working with Alamo Recycle Centers include:

• Conserving valuable landfill space
• Decreasing our dependency of foreign oil
• Reuse of previously mined aggregate
• Reducing our use of virgin resources

Shingle Recycling

The United States manufactures and/or disposes of an estimated 11 million tons of asphalt shingles each year. Of this 11 million tons, approximately 10 million tons is from installation scraps and tear-offs from re-roofing. Because of this, using recycled asphalt shingles, or RAS, in new products is an important step toward reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transportation and processing of virgin materials. By reducing the amount of virgin resources used in production, the costs for both manufacturers and consumers is reduced.
Shingle Recycling through Alamo Recycle Centers will drastically reduce your disposal fee all while enhancing your company's public image.
To save money, many contractors and homeowners will buy and use wholesale roof and asphalt shingles. But, because buyers can get a great price on a wholesale shingle, they will sometimes purchase more than necessary, leaving piles and piles of leftover shingles.
Users in the United States dispose of millions of wholesale asphalt and roof shingles every year. When buyers over purchase wholesale shingles, they are more likely to be careless when using the shingles. Millions of leftover shingles are installation scraps and other pieces left from reroofing errors. That is why it’s so important to recycle these shingles. Alamo Recycle Centers can help buyers to get rid of their leftover wholesale shingles quickly and safely, and allow them to be reused.
Using a recycled wholesale shingle will reduce the need for excess transportation and processing of new materials to make shingles, lessening the impact to the environment. There is also a significant reduction in costs to both manufacturers and shingle users.
It can be a huge drain on resources, time, and money to dispose of your own wholesale asphalt and roof shingles. But if you use Alamo Recycle Centers to get rid of your shingles, you can drastically reduce your disposal fees and become friendly to environment.

Wood Recycling
There are two types of wood product, C&D related wood and Organic. Fortunately, Alamo Recycle Centers recycles both. Examples of C&D wood include lumber, pallets and plywood. Organic wood is considered brush and tree limbs.

Many users need to do some shingle grinding after all these pieces are left. That is why they need the help of mobile shingle grinding and other shingle grinding service providers. But these services don’t only get rid of shingle pieces. There are also many environmental and monetary benefits of doing shingle grinding after your next roofing project.

Mobile grinding services then work with other companies to sell the products, ultimately saving your time and money, and helping the environment.
