Yes, Armstrong will take your tiles free of charge truckload size. If it is less than truckload you will have to negotiate shipping charges with them. All the tiles have to be shrink wrapped and palletized. (6' high).

This might help you too:

1 pallet holds 1400-1700 sf of tile

1 CY of rolloff holds 200 sf of tile (30 CY holds 6 to 7,000 SF)

It takes 1.3 man hours to palletize 1,000 SF

It takes 1.2 man hours to dump 1,000 sf using a cart and a dumpster located at a loading dock in the building

Don't they take back Armstrong brand tiles only? I thought I remember looking at doing a large project and they stated they would only take back their own brand.

They will take any brand. I think originally they tried to only take their own but they needed the economy of scale to make their recycling effort work.

Thanks for the information! If anyone else has any other resources please fell free to share.

Professional Engineering Co., Inc. - Suspended Ceiling Wire Cutters - Cut down twice the ceiling grid in the same time!

im pretty sure that a trailer can hold about 40,000 square feet palletized

Armstrong will take anyones tiles. I spoke to someone a few months ago when putting a bid in for 55,000 sq feet. They require someone to come out and make sure its a tile they will take and be able to recycle so contact them first. They told me a trailer will hold almost 45,000 sq feet if I remember.

Anyone been able to recycle fiberglass tiles?

Nukeworker,

Thanks for the heads up on making the job easier to handle.

We placed the bid on Friday so we'll find out something this week.
