Shingles are the densest load a homeowner ever rents a dumpster for. We set the dumpster at the eave, size it by weight instead of guesswork, and swap it if the roof runs big.
A roof comes off fast when the dumpster's in the right place. We drop it near the eave so the crew tosses straight in off the roof instead of wheelbarrowing shingles across the yard. Architectural shingle packs serious weight into little space, and that's the number that matters: figure seven or eight squares per ton. Felt, flashing, and drip edge ride along fine. Tarp the open dumpster at night; a surprise storm adds water weight you'd end up paying for. If the tear-off outruns the dumpster, a swap usually lands the same day for roofing crews.
The 15-yard starts at $440 and the 20-yard at $469, each with three tons included, enough for a single-layer roof in the low twenties of squares. The 30-yard runs $520 with four tons. Past the included weight it's $70 per ton off the scale ticket, so a heavy roof pays for exactly its overage.
Full rate table for every size and rental length is on the pricing page, or call (864) 871-4290 and get the number for your job in one conversation.
Count your squares and layers before you call. One layer at 20 squares sits right at the 20-yard's included three tons. Two layers doubles the weight, not the look of the pile, so a modest-looking double-layer roof can out-weigh a big single-layer one. Run it yourself on the shingle weight calculator, or bring the square count to the phone call and we'll size the dumpster together.
Around 250 to 300 pounds for architectural shingle, less for 3-tab. That's why we size roofing dumpsters by weight first: seven or eight squares per ton is the working number. Run yours on the shingle calculator.
Keep the roofing load clean if you can. A pure shingle load weighs predictably, which keeps the sizing honest and the overage math simple. The size guide takes it project by project.
It happens, especially with hidden layers. Call and we'll run a same-day swap for crews in most cases, and the second dumpster bills off its own scale ticket. Rates by size sit on the pricing page.
That's where it should sit for a tear-off. We'll set it tight to the eave, clear of the meter and low wires, and boards under the rails are available if you want the driveway protected; ask when you order.
Thirty squares of architectural shingle runs about four tons, which is 30-yard territory on included weight even though the pile itself would fit a smaller dumpster. Weight decides roofing dumpsters, not volume.
They can, but water is weight and weight is money: a rained-on load bills off the same scale ticket as a dry one. Tarp the open dumpster overnight mid-tear-off and you're protecting your own overage line.
We run this service across the Lakelands from our lots in Donalds and Greenwood. Same posted rates in every town we serve.
