What Size Dumpster Do You Need for Roofing?

Roofing debris — especially asphalt shingles — is heavy. Here's how to think about sizing:

Roof SizeRecommended DumpsterIncluded Weight
Up to 1,500 sq ft (single layer shingles)15 Yard2 tons
1,500–2,500 sq ft or multiple layers20 Yard3 tons
Large commercial or heavy tile roof20 Yard + overage plan3 tons max

Important weight note: Shingles are one of the heaviest types of roofing debris. Our 20-yard container has a strict 3-ton (6,000 lb) maximum with no overage allowed — plan accordingly. When in doubt, load by weight, not by volume. Call us at 601-316-7891 and we'll help you plan the right setup for your job.

What Roofing Materials We Accept

  • Asphalt shingles (3-tab and architectural)
  • Wood shake and cedar shingles
  • Roofing felt and underlayment
  • Plywood decking and OSB
  • Flashing and metal drip edge
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Fascia and soffit boards

We cannot accept: Asbestos-containing shingles (common in homes built before 1980) or roofing materials mixed with hazardous waste. If you're working on an older home, identify the shingle type before loading.

Contractor-Friendly Rental Options

We offer 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day rentals to match your project timeline:

Tips for Efficient Roofing Job Site Cleanup

  • Position the dumpster close to the roofline so shingles can be slid directly in rather than carried down a ladder.
  • Load heavy materials on the bottom. Shingles first, lighter materials on top.
  • Don't mix roofing debris with other job site waste unless it's also acceptable — keep things clean to avoid refused load fees.
  • Check the weight often. Shingles are deceptively heavy. A 15-yard container loaded entirely with shingles can exceed the weight limit before it looks full.
