Estimating the Right Roofing Dumpster Size
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:
- 3-tab shingles are your standard asphalt shingle – they generally weigh about 250 pounds per roofing square.
- Architectural shingles, on the other hand, are larger – they weigh closer to 400 pounds per roofing square.
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.
