Shingle in Paving Demonstration Project
In 2007, LinkUp began working with the recycling and paving community to champion the development of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) end market for tear-off shingles by securing and conducting a paving trial in the Puget Sound area that incorporates this material. An advisory group was formed to research project options and testing protocols. Learn more about the Shingles in Paving Demonstration Project.
