Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for your Upland roof tear-off? Our 20-yard container is the standard for most jobs; it uses a low-wall design to simplify the work. Use this rule for asphalt shingles: one square equals two-thirds of a cubic yard. Keep the tonnage limits in mind before you start to fill the bin.
15-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 15 cubic yards
- Fits: 15–20 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Single-layer ranch and bungalow tear-offs
Our 10-yard can fits in any tight driveway for shingle weight management on a single haul project.
20-Yard Roofing Dumpster

The 20-Yard Container is our roofing workhorse because low side walls let crews ground-throw shingles without extra scaffolding.

Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
The three-tab shingle averages 250 pounds per square, architectural laminate runs closer to 400; how does that translate to a 25-square tear-off? It lands between three and five tons before underlayment is added, which is why roofing dumpsters route the heavier loads and the hooklift truck caps each can to stay inside the weight limit on a single pickup.
When projects mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route the container to our standard C&D debris service—keeping your site clean and compliant. Pure asphalt tear-offs run on a separate line to maximize efficiency for your job.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We angle the swing-door of your roll-off toward the eave to keep the working lane clear in Upland. Before we drop the container, we place wooden planks under the rollers to protect your concrete from heavy loads. Setting the can this way allows crews to ground-throw shingles onto a six-foot tarp perimeter for an easy nail sweep.

Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line

Surface protection
Wooden planks under every roller
Loaded shingle weight can gouge concrete; driveway boards stay under the rear rollers for the full rental window.
Sweep zone
Six-foot tarp perimeter
Stage magnetic sweepers on the tarp side so your nail cleanup runs in parallel with the loading process.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal punish a container that was not built for the load: these materials weigh two to four times what asphalt does per square. For these jobs, we route in a reinforced 30-yard bin with a heavier floor plate; we cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to keep axle weight legal. We use a lowboy for transport, as this ensures we can safely set the heavy container. general construction debris service.
