Current practices in HRM:
Within the Halifax Regional Municipality of Nova Scotia, asphalt shingles that arrive at C&D
processing centres are sorted from other materials and collected at Halifax C&D Recycling

where the paper backing is removed from the asphalt covered aggregate through a unique
processing method. The paper backing is sold to Lefarge for use in their cement kiln in Nova
Scotia while the asphalt and aggregate are reused by Ocean Contractors Limited in the
production of new asphalt pavement.
