Recycling Ceiling Tiles

Recycling is a huge portion of the “green” movement. Armstrong Ceiling Tile has a program especially for contractors use in recycling drop ceiling tiles obtained from renovation and demolition projects. Not only is there a savings in landfill space, there is also a savings in new product production.

This recycling program consists of four basic steps. First, the contractor needs to include the provisions for recycling the tiles in his contract. The contractor or building owner will also need to verify with Armstrong that the tiles can be recycled. The old ceiling tiles do not have to be solely manufactured by Armstrong to qualify. Once verification has been received, the tiles must be stacked on pallets and either banded or shrink-wrapped for pick-up. Armstrong is then contacted and arrangements are made for the tiles to be picked up and delivered to its closest manufacturing facility. The number of tiles generated from a project will always be picked up, regardless of quantity, by someone within the Armstrong network.

There are a number of contractors involved with Armstrong and awareness of this program is growing. Word is definitely spreading and building owners are taking advantage of this benefit that reduces solid waste growth.

This is a win-win for everyone involved. Visit www.Armstrong.com web site for more details.
