Rigid Insulation Board and Roofing Membranes We Recycle
What Roof Insulation and Roofing Materials Do We Recycle?
We specialize in recycling rigid insulation and roofing materials generated during commercial roofing tear-offs, replacements and removal projects.
Explore the materials below, then contact us before your project begins to confirm eligibility and plan collection.
Polyiso / ISO Roof Insulation
Polyisocyanurate insulation, commonly called polyiso or ISO, is one of the most widely used rigid insulation materials in commercial roofing systems. Disposal Alternatives provides recycling options for qualifying polyiso roof insulation removed during commercial roofing projects.
Plan recycling before the tear-off begins. Tell us about the existing roofing system and the approximate quantity of insulation so we can review the material and develop collection and transportation arrangements.
XPS / Extruded Polystyrene
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a rigid foam insulation board used in roofing and other building applications. We help divert qualifying XPS insulation from traditional landfill disposal through our recycling program.
Keep qualifying boards separated from general demolition debris. Material eligibility and loading arrangements are reviewed for each project before removal begins.
EPS / Expanded Polystyrene
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is another lightweight rigid foam insulation material used in commercial roofing assemblies. Qualifying EPS roof insulation can be collected and routed for recycling and reuse.
Although lightweight, rigid foam can occupy significant space in the waste stream. Separating qualifying EPS during removal provides another option for handling bulky roofing material.
EPDM, TPO & PVC Roofing Membranes
Certain EPDM, TPO and PVC roofing membranes may also be recyclable depending on the project and condition of the material.
Include membrane information when you contact us about your roofing project. We will review the roofing system, material condition and collection requirements to determine what may qualify.
Review. Separate.
Stack. Recycle.
Our recycling management program is designed for large commercial flat-roof and low-slope roofing projects. We coordinate equipment, collection and transportation around the roofing operation.
Your crew separates qualifying materials during removal, stacks rigid insulation for loading, and contacts dispatch as the collection trailer approaches capacity.
Tell us what is on your roof.
Not sure whether your existing roof insulation or membrane can be recycled? Contact us with information about your project and materials.
- Project location and approximate roof size
- Type of roofing system and insulation
- Approximate material quantity and condition
- Removal schedule and site access
We’ll help determine what can be recycled and how collection can fit into your project. Material eligibility and arrangements vary by project.
