Roofing Tear-Off Dumpster Rental
Shingles are heavy, so a roof tear-off is a weight job, not a space job — and the 15-yard dump trailer is the right tool. It carries up to 5 tons, more than most 20-yard roll-offs, and it backs right into the driveway with low sides so you can toss tear-off straight in. A single-layer roof on a typical home usually fits one load. A big or multi-layer roof runs heavy — expect overage above the included 2 tons, or we plan a second haul. It's bookable now: pick your dates online in about 90 seconds.

Real project examples
What this looks like around Huntsville.
Single-layer re-roof — Madison
2,200 sq ft ranch, one layer of asphalt shingles. Fit a single load; weight ran into modest overage above the included 2 tons.
Multi-layer tear-off — Hampton Cove
Older home with two layers of shingles. We planned a second haul up front so the heavy load never became a surprise.
Tips
Make this job go smoother.
- !Shingles are heavy: roughly 240–280 lbs per square (100 sq ft). A single-layer roof on a typical home usually fits one load on the 5-ton trailer.
- !Big roof or multiple layers? Tell us the home size and number of layers up front and we'll plan for overage or a second haul so there are no surprises.
- !Keep the load to roofing material — mixing in heavy debris pushes the weight up faster.
Questions
Frequently asked, straight answers.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?+
The 15-yard dump trailer is the right tool. It carries up to 5 tons — more than most 20-yard roll-offs — and a single-layer roof on a typical home usually fits one load. A big or multi-layer roof runs heavy, so we plan for overage above the included 2 tons or a second haul. It's bookable now: pick your dates online in about 90 seconds.
Will a roof tear-off go over the included weight?+
It can. A single-layer roof on a typical home usually fits one load, but a large or multi-layer roof runs heavy and may exceed the included 2 tons. We text you the weight ticket from the landfill and bill any overage at $90/ton — or, on a really big roof, we plan a second haul with you up front so there are no surprises.
