Considerations for Roofing Dumpster Services
Replacing a roof doesn’t have to come with the hassle of a massive cleanup. At Redbox+ Dumpsters, we make waste removal quick, efficient, and easy—not just for roofing contractors, but for homeowners and businesses too.
Before debris takes over your workspace, keep these three key considerations in mind: the type of materials you’re disposing of, the size of your roof, and the estimated weight of the waste. Our experienced team is here to help you choose the perfect dumpster size to match your project’s needs, ensuring a seamless process with minimal disruption.
Roofing Materials We Accept
Roofing shingles are one of the heaviest housing materials to dispose of, and redbox+ Dumpsters can help you discard those as well as other additional roofing materials. We accept the following in our roofing dumpsters:
- Shingles
- Felt
- Lumber
- Nails
- Terracotta Tiles
- Concrete Tiles
- Slate Tiles
- Cedar Shakes

Estimating the Right Roofing Dumpster Size
Roofing debris can be surprisingly heavy, making it smarter to rent a smaller dumpster and schedule more frequent pickups rather than risk overloading a larger one before it’s full. For most residential roofing projects, a 20-yard dumpster is the standard choice. However, determining the right size for your specific project requires considering two key factors: the total roof area and the weight of the old roofing materials. By evaluating both, you can ensure you select the most practical and efficient dumpster for the job.
Measuring your roof
100 square feet of shingles = 1 roofing square
In roofing, the standard unit of measurement is a “roofing square.” You’ll want to measure your roof in square feet first, and then convert that into roofing squares. Also, check how many layers of shingles are currently on your roof. If the roof has more than one layer of shingles that needs to be removed, multiply the original number of roofing squares by the 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 has an average weight limit of 4,000-6,000 pounds, which works out to be about 2,500-3,000 square feet of single layer standard shingles. If you are close to a 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.
