The Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) is the established nationwide forum for C&D Recycling and is the only national trade association that promotes recycling construction and demolition materials. For more than 30 years, the CDRA has provided education, networking and a unified voice for recyclers of construction materials, including wood, concrete and aggregates, asphalt shingles, gypsum wallboard, metals and more.
Our members include regional recyclers, haulers of all sizes, national waste management companies, contractors, building products manufacturers, technology suppliers, public agencies, sustainability professionals and other stakeholders.
We are the only trade association that promotes recycling construction and demolition materials. We do this on two levels—by providing information to the marketplace and others allied to the industry’s needs and by promoting the needs of the C&D recyclers to lawmakers and regulators throughout the country.
Our members represent private sector businesses, public sector agencies and vendors to the market and come from various industries, including construction, demolition, waste management services, rock and building materials, road construction and more.
CDRA’s 11th Shingle Recycling Forum, the premier event for shingle recycling, will move to Raleigh, North Carolina, on October 13-15, 2026. Interest in recycling roofing materials is growing because of circularity demands, higher oil prices and government initiatives. This event will unite recyclers with manufacturers, asphalt plant operators, road pavers, DOT officials, technology providers and more for impactful networking and cutting-edge presentations from industry experts. Learn how all stakeholders influence regulation and end markets, from asphalt pavement to closed-loop recycling, to create the ‘next wave’ of shingle recycling.
