Heavy-duty roofing dumpster rentals designed specifically for shingle tear-offs, roof replacements, and roofing debris disposal.
Roofing dumpsters are heavy-duty roll-off containers specifically designed to handle the extreme weight and volume of roofing materials, particularly asphalt shingles which are among the heaviest construction debris.
Roof tear-offs generate massive amounts of extremely heavy debris. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof produces 2-4 tons of shingles alone. Roofing debris cannot be handled by regular trash service, and the weight requires specialized containers with reinforced construction and lower weight limits.
Typical Timeline: Most residential roofing projects need dumpsters for 2-5 days. Professional crews often complete tear-offs in 1-2 days, while DIY projects may take a week. Keep the container until all debris is removed and cleanup is complete.
Average residential roof (1,500-2,500 sq ft), single-layer shingles
Pro Tip: Get quotes from multiple providers to ensure competitive pricing. Prices can vary by $50-$150 between companies in the same area.
Measure your roof square footage and determine the number of existing shingle layers. This determines both container size and weight capacity needed.
Select a container size that matches your roof square footage, and confirm weight limits. Roofing containers have lower weight limits than standard dumpsters due to the extreme density of shingles.
Place the container close to the house but accessible for tear-off. Roofing crews often load directly from the roof, so positioning is critical for efficiency.
Roofing projects generate sharp nails, heavy debris, and potential property damage. Take precautions to protect landscaping, windows, and exterior features.
Distribute shingle weight evenly in the container. Never exceed the fill line or weight limit - overloaded roofing dumpsters cannot be safely transported.
Once your roof tear-off is complete and all debris is loaded, schedule pickup within 24-48 hours to avoid daily rental fees.

For a typical residential roof: 1,000-1,500 sq ft needs a 10-15 yard dumpster, 1,500-2,500 sq ft needs a 20 yard, and 2,500+ sq ft or multi-layer tear-offs need a 30 yard container. Roofing debris is extremely heavy, so weight capacity is as important as volume.
Roofing dumpster rentals typically cost $300-$700 depending on size and location. A 20 yard container for an average roof costs $400-$550. Roofing containers may cost slightly more than standard dumpsters due to weight restrictions and higher disposal fees for shingles.
Asphalt shingles are extremely heavy: 200-350 lbs per roofing square (100 sq ft). A typical 2,000 sq ft roof with single-layer shingles weighs 2-3 tons. Multi-layer tear-offs, architectural shingles, or tile roofs can weigh significantly more. Always confirm weight limits with your provider.
Yes, roofing dumpsters accept shingles, underlayment, flashing, plywood, decking, gutters, and other roofing materials. However, avoid mixing heavy materials like concrete tiles or multiple layers of decking, as these quickly exceed weight limits.
If you exceed the weight limit (typically 2-4 tons for roofing), you'll be charged overage fees of $50-$100 per ton over the limit. Severely overloaded containers cannot be picked up and will require you to remove excess material before transport.
Have the dumpster delivered the day before or morning of the tear-off. This ensures it's ready when your crew starts work. Roofing projects move quickly - most residential tear-offs are completed in 1-2 days, so timing delivery properly keeps the project on schedule.
Yes, asphalt shingles can be recycled and ground into aggregate for road paving or new asphalt. However, not all areas have shingle recycling facilities. Ask your provider if they offer shingle recycling - it may reduce disposal fees and environmental impact.
Most roofing dumpster rentals include 3-7 days, which is sufficient for typical residential projects. Professional crews often complete tear-offs in 1-2 days, while DIY projects may need 5-7 days. You can extend the rental for $10-20 per additional day if needed.
