Where to Start?
When beginning any roofing project, it's crucial to take several factors into account. Here are the key considerations:
- Choice of Shingle: Decide between 3-Tab and Architectural Shingles.
- Roof Size: Assess the dimensions of the roof to determine material requirements.
- Shingle Layers: Consider the number of layers of shingles present.
- Additional Materials: Account for items like felt, lumber, nails, etc., which require disposal.
*Additionally, be mindful of legal weight restrictions for hauling, as these may vary by location. Discuss this matter with your representative before delivery to ensure compliance.
3 Tab vs. Architectural Shingles
How Many Dumpsters Will You Need?
Asphalt shingles carry considerable weight, typically ranging from 45 to 60 pounds per bundle. Roofing shingles are measured in "roof squares," indicating the quantity required to cover 100 square feet of the roof. For example, a 2,000-square-foot roof is often referred to as a "20 square."
Replacing one square of the roof typically requires around three bundles of shingles. This means that an average roof square holds approximately 150 pounds of shingles.
Due to the substantial weight of asphalt roof shingles, proper disposal is crucial. Residential trash services often cannot accommodate the volume of discarded shingles, and most refuse haulers are reluctant to accept large quantities of asphalt shingles.
When arranging for a dumpster, it's essential to consider the weight of asphalt shingles. Many municipalities, counties, and states have regulations governing the allowable weight for transportation on streets and highways. Additionally, landfills impose restrictions on the weight of deposited loads.
While selecting a large dumpster might seem convenient for containing all shingle waste, it's vital to avoid exceeding weight limits to comply with regulations.

Asphalt Shingles Adhesives For most roofing projects, a 10 or 20-yard dumpster is sufficient. A 10-yard dumpster can typically hold debris from smaller roofs or partial roof replacements, while a 20-yard dumpster is suitable for larger roofs or full replacements. In many areas, you may need a permit to place a dumpster on the street or public right-of-way. However, if you’re placing the dumpster on your property, a permit may not be required. It’s advisable to check with your local municipality or the dumpster rental company for specific permit requirements in your area. It’s generally recommended to keep roofing materials separate from other types of debris to facilitate recycling and proper disposal. Mixing materials may also affect the weight limits or incur additional fees.Roofing Dumpster Rental FAQs
