About this Location

Tidewater Green Recycling Facility is located at 1500 Steel Street, Chesapeake, VA 23323.

We provide recycling services to reduce the debris that ends up in landfills, clogging them and posing environmental degradation. We do this in several main areas: Roof Shingle Recycling We work with roofers, contractors and builders, taking in their old shingles and recycling them into materials that can be used for asphalt to pave new highways. Roofers dispose of their shingles and roofing materials to us… We turn them into asphalt materials… Roadway pavers, developers and government agencies purchase the recycled materials from us. Through this green process, waste is eliminated and our communities benefit from improved roadway infrastructure. Wood Recycling Tidewater Green partners with Waste Management, the US Navy and other companies to clean and grind wood materials down into fuels that are used to produce steam power and energy. Bring your wood to us! Mobile Wood Grinding We provide onsite mobile wood grinding services. Tidewater Green Corp. operates a slow speed wood grinder on tracks with a cross belt magnet that enables us to process the most difficult wood waste streams. Contact us for more info.
