Recycling your old ceiling tiles is simple:

Finding a Recycling Partner / Consolidator

1. SPECIFY

Develop a construction waste management plan. Include provisions for ceiling recycling in your project specifications. Download the guide specification.

2. REGISTER

3. CONFIRM

Review building and material requirements with the Recycling Center. The building construction date, an asbestos survey and a signed Recycling Agreement are required documentation to approve your recycling project. Be sure your project is approved before you begin removal of the ceiling for recycling.

4. REMOVE

Once your project is approved, there are two options to return your ceiling panels:

Option 1: Pallets
Stack the old panels on pallets, label and stretch wrap or tightly band them. Check with the Armstrong Recycling Center for bulk return methods that are available in some regions. Coordinate on-site storage and logistics. Review the section on stacking and packing. See detailed information:

Recycling Requirements – Pallet.

Option 2: Container
Separate ceiling panels from other construction debris and place them in the designated recycling container. Coordinate removal of container with your local C&D partner. See detailed information:

Recycling Requirements – Container.

5. CALL
