No, or at least my dh asphalt plant won't do it. It is too dangerous because nails could still be in them somewhere, contaminating the load of blacktop. And it is too expensive to have someone look through the load to make sure there are no roofing nails in there. Shingles are not like millings from old highways. Shingles have a lot of nails in with them.

If one gently presses the shingle in, one can pull the nail out with pliers, or cut the nail head off with snips.

They are worth a buck a piece, at least they used to be in the seventies.
