Every season is tough on roofs in Colorado. From the snow and ice dams building up during winter to the hailstorms in summer, combined with the heat of spring and summer months or high winds all year round – it’s important that you inspect your home for any signs of damage after every storm. As redbox+ Dumpsters of Colorado Springs owner, Chris, emphasizes: don’t ignore the signs of roofing damage otherwise you could be stuck with thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs! Invest just 15 minutes post-storm to walk around your home and make sure everything is safe and sound.
redbox+ Dumpsters of Colorado Springs offers a helpful solution for roofing contractors: our 2-in-1 dumpster and portable toilets, along with our prompt and dependable service. We recognize that roofing jobs produce a substantial amount of debris and move at a fast pace, so we strive to ensure your project runs efficiently. Simply inform us of the location where you require the dumpster, and we’ll handle the rest.
We acknowledge the time-sensitivity of roofing projects, hence we don’t impose a mandatory 30-day rental contract. Simply rent a roll-off dumpster for the duration you require, and complete your job effectively.
Our signature Elite Dumpster is the perfect solution for your roofing needs. It comes with two attached portable toilets for your convenience, and we will clean them as often as you need us to. Your crew won’t have to leave the job site to use the restroom or wait around for a dumpster to be emptied or delivered.

If you’re a roofing contractor, then chances are you’ve already rented a dumpster from us to help with your project. However, we also assist commercial and residential customers who need to find the perfect dumpster for their roofs.
Here are three essential factors you should consider when making your decision: materials, roof size, and weight of waste.
At redbox+ Dumpsters of Colorado Springs, we understand that getting rid of roofing shingles can be tough because they’re one of the heaviest housing materials. But thankfully, we accept them in our dumpsters alongside other roofing materials. Here’s a list of what we take:
Waste from roofing is usually very heavy, so getting a smaller dumpster and having us empty it multiple times is smarter than one big container that will become too full before it’s even filled. The average residential roofing project uses a 20-yard roll-off dumpster, but the best size for your specific project can be calculated by figuring out both the total area of the roof and how much current materials weigh.
Measuring your roof
100 square feet of shingles = 1 roofing square
When roofing, the standard unit of measurement is in “roofing squares.” To accurately begin your project, you’ll want to measure your roof’s square footage and convert it into said squares. Additionally, check how many layers of shingles are currently on the roof; if there is more than one that needs to be removed, multiply the original number of Roofing Squares by the corresponding number of layers.
Consider the weight of materials
Some types of shingles are heavier than others, and different sizes of roll-off dumpsters have different weight limits. For example:
A 20-yard dumpster can hold around 4,000-6,000 pounds, which is about the weight of 2,500-3,000 square feet of standard roofing shingles. If you are close to the dumpster’s capacity when estimating the weight and amount of your roofing materials, we recommend going up a size since you’ll have additional waste aside from the shingles.
Not a fan of math? Prefer to leave the roofing + dumpster calculations to the professionals? No problem! The experts at redbox+ Dumpsters are here to make your roofing project as easy as possible. Call us and we’ll help you choose the right size and type of dumpster for your specific needs.
