Roofing waste removal is unlike almost any other residential or contractor project — the volume looks small, but the weight is severe. A single square of asphalt shingles (100 sq ft) weighs roughly 250 lbs, which means an average tear-off can generate several thousand pounds of material without ever filling a dumpster to the brim. Most overage charges on roofing jobs come from underestimating weight, not underestimating space.
Multiple layers compound the problem fast. A roof that's been reroofed once or twice before without a full tear-off means removing two or three layers of roofing materials at once — nearly doubling or tripling the tonnage of what looks, from the ground, like a single-layer job. If you're not sure how many layers are on your roof, your roofer usually knows, or we can help you estimate based on the home's age and roofing history.
Older homes carry a separate consideration. Roofing felt and shingles installed before the 1980s occasionally contain asbestos, which can't go in a standard roll-off and requires separate testing and handling. If your home's original roof predates that window and hasn't been fully replaced since, it's worth confirming with your roofer before tear-off begins — not after a dumpster is already on-site.

Renting a Construction Roll-Off — Frequently Asked Questions
For a single-layer tear-off under 1,200 sq ft, a 15-yard ($400) usually works. Most average-size homes with a full tear-off need a 21-yard ($450). If you're removing multiple layers of old shingles or working on a large or steep-pitch roof, step up to a 25-yard ($500) — the weight adds up faster than the volume does.
A single square of asphalt shingles (100 sq ft of roof) weighs approximately 250 lbs. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof generates around 5,000 lbs of shingle waste — more if there are multiple layers underneath. That's why roofing projects fill up their weight allowance well before the dumpster looks full.
Overage is billed at $90 per ton beyond what's included with your size. For a heavy tear-off, it's almost always cheaper to book one size up front than to pay overage after the fact. If you're not sure how many layers are on your roof, ask your roofer or call us — we can help estimate.
Yes, as long as it's not hazardous material. If you're doing a roof plus gutters, siding, or decking replacement at the same time, all of that can go in the same dumpster — just factor the combined weight into your size choice.
Homes roofed before the 1980s sometimes used asbestos-containing materials in roofing felt or shingles. If your home is older and you're not sure what's up there, it's worth having it tested before tear-off — asbestos material can't go in a standard dumpster and requires special handling.
