How it works
- 1Tell us the roof size
Give us the rough square footage and number of shingle layers. We'll recommend a size and a realistic tonnage estimate.

Loads are weighed at the scale. You pay for the actual tonnage — nothing padded.
Frequently asked questions
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?
A 10-yard handles most single-layer residential tear-offs. The low walls make loading from the roofline easy. Weight, not volume, is the binding constraint — budget for overages above the included tonnage if the roof is large or has multiple layers.
Can roofing contractors set up recurring service?
Yes. We work with roofing crews regularly and can arrange recurring container drops and swaps. See our contractors page or contact us to set up an account.
How heavy is a roofing load?
A square of architectural shingles weighs 350–400 lbs; a typical home has 20–25 squares. Multiple layers multiply that. We give you a realistic tonnage estimate up front so the overage is predictable.
