As part of the Zero Waste Challenge, Metro Vancouver is testing how to recycle old roofs into new roads in our wet, cool climate. About 50,000 tonnes of asphalt shingle tear-offs are thrown away each year in the region and fill up limited landfill space. Other areas in North America are recycling asphalt shingles into asphalt pavement mixes. Metro Vancouver plans to pave a test site in 2010 that will demonstrate how this technology performs under local conditions.
