What Roofing Dumpster Rental Includes
- Dumpsters with roofing-grade weight allowances (up to 6 tons)
- Low-profile containers that fit close to the house for easy loading
- Delivery timed to your tear-off start date
- Priority pickup scheduling: dispatch confirms your pickup time
- Asphalt shingle recycling where available
- Driveway boards included to protect surfaces
Recommended Sizes for Roofing Projects
Choose the right container based on your roof size and layers.
Roofing Dumpster Pricing
Roofing dumpster rentals typically run $550-$750 to $750-$995 live by size, and our reps quote roofers with DOUBLED tonnage up front (a roofing 20 is priced with 4 tons instead of 2), because shingles weigh more than anyone expects. We have seen a 10 yarder come back with 8 tons on it. Pricing includes delivery, pickup, and disposal.

“Shingles are heavy and a roll-off has a road weight limit no matter the size. I size to the tonnage, a 20 for a small single-layer, a 30 for most tear-offs, and I tell you the per-square weight up front so the bid is right and nobody eats a surprise overage.”

Roofing Dumpster FAQs
Common questions about dumpster rentals for roofing projects.
A general rule: 1 square of roofing (100 sq ft) generates about 1 cubic yard of debris for a single layer. A 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares) with one layer typically needs a 20-yard dumpster. Multi-layer tear-offs generate 2-3x more debris and may need a 30-yard.
Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
Yes. Asphalt shingles weigh approximately 250-400 lbs per square (100 sq ft). A typical roof tear-off can weigh 4,000-8,000 lbs depending on layers and roof size. Our roofing dumpsters include enhanced weight allowances to accommodate this.
Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
In many areas, yes. Asphalt shingles can be recycled into road paving material. We offer shingle recycling in markets where processing facilities are available. Ask about recycling options when you order.
Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
We place roofing dumpsters as close to the work area as possible, often right next to the house. This allows roofers to toss debris directly from the roof into the container, saving time and reducing cleanup.
Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
Roofing dumpsters should ideally contain only roofing materials to qualify for recycling. Mixing in general construction debris may disqualify the load from recycling programs and could affect pricing. Ask us about using a second container for non-roofing waste.
