SHAKOPEE, Minn., July 2010 – Dem-Con Companies, an innovator
in construction and demolition recycling and one of the top shingle recycling companies in the area, announced today that it has increased investment into mobile shingle grinding.
Dem-Con’s mobile recycling service diverts shingles from landfills into
cost-effective, environmentally sound replacement to virgin oil used in
hot-mix asphalt.
“Our activities parallel the findings of the recent NDA survey, and we at Dem-Con
echo the optimism expressed by some member companies,” said Chris Guillemette, vice
president, business development, Dem-Con Companies. “Our experience and reinvestment
into Dem-Con’s shingle recycling service puts
us in a position to accommodate this growth and service landfills and other
facilities that collect but that do not have the internal resources to recycle
shingles.”
As a full or custom on-site service, Dem-Con’s mobile shingle grinding utilizes
customers’ own equipment to save cost. For facilities not equipped with the
machinery, Dem-Con supplies all of the equipment, providing technical and
operational assistance -- from delivery of shingles from the jobsite to hot mix
design. The service includes a mobile staff that can travel anywhere in the U.S. The
company’s capital expenditures into this business enable its staff to travel
anywhere in the U.S. and fit into the customer’s schedule.
Dem-Con Shingle Processing is a company developed to recover shingles resulting from
the manufacturing process as well as tear-off shingles from homes. Tens of thousands
of tons are currently buried in landfills each year and Dem-Con shingle recycling is
working to recover and provide alternative uses for this material to reduce reliance
on virgin asphalt. Dem-Con works with many government and other organizations to
develop equipment, specifications and end-use options for this material. The
company, which will recycle more than 25,000 tons of shingles in 2010, offers local
and mobile shingle grinding services.
