Most of that waste &#8212; 10 million tons &#8212; comes from the shingles off of old homes [source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.calrecycle.ca.gov\/condemo\/shingles\/\">CA.gov<\/a>]. Unlike many construction materials, roofing shingles are very durable. They can last nearly 20 or 30 years before they need to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Most shingles are made from a felt mat infused with asphalt (which is made from crude\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/environmental\/energy\/oil-drilling.htm\">oil<\/a>) and tiny bits of rock. These shingles are hardy, and can withstand scorching heat and bone-chilling temperatures. But when they are removed from a roof, they can be ground down and actually used in pavement projects and as patches for potholes. Shingles can also be\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/environmental\/green-science\/recycling.htm\">recycled<\/a>\u00a0into new shingles and sometimes processed into fuel [source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.calrecycle.ca.gov\/condemo\/shingles\/\">CA.gov<\/a>].
