Recycled products · Illinois' first shingle recycler
Recycled products made from asphalt shingles
From recycled asphalt shingles for hot mix plants to Bit-Base pothole patch and custom mixed aggregates, we turn old roofs and jobsite debris into recycled materials for roads and driveways across northern Illinois.
Illinois' first shingle recycler
Recycled products that preserve our natural resources
We've developed many products to re-use and preserve our natural resources. As Illinois' first shingle recycler, we paved the way for the use of shingles in hot mix asphalt. Paving blocks, dust suppression and road base material made with 100% recycled content are some of the other products we've developed.
Every one of them starts with material that would otherwise be thrown away: tear-off shingles, manufacturers' scrap shingles, discarded lumber and broken concrete.

Our recycling commitment
Every dumpster load is evaluated for recycling
Dumpster service from Falcon comes with a commitment to recycle as much material as possible. Our drivers evaluate every dumpster load, then it's brought to a recycling facility or waste transfer station, so your construction and demolition waste is responsibly recycled or reused.
Developing new end markets for recyclables is a main goal of Falcon Green Resources. Here's where common materials end up:
- Shingles become new roads
- Discarded lumber becomes mulch
- Metals and plastics are recycled
- Drywall is used in soil amendment
- Old broken concrete is crushed into new usable aggregates

What is RAS?
RAS stands for recycled asphalt shingles. Falcon grinds shingles for use in hot mix asphalt and other products, and our IDOT-approved Type 2 RAS goes to hot mix plants. See our recycled asphalt shingles page.
Where can I see the shingle brick road?
At our Washington Street office in Woodstock. It's built from roughly 250 shingle bricks made from manufacturers' defect shingles. Read the story in Benefits of shingle recycling.
What happens to the material in my dumpster?
Our drivers evaluate every load, then it goes to a recycling facility or waste transfer station. Shingles become new roads, discarded lumber becomes mulch, metals and plastics are recycled, drywall is used in soil amendment and old broken concrete is crushed into new usable aggregates.
