Roofing shingle disposal in the right container, with weight guidance for asphalt shingles, felt, flashing and nails from tear-offs of any size.
Old shingles are heavy, and a tear-off can fill a dumpster by weight long before it is full by volume. Disposal done right means choosing the right container, loading it evenly and keeping the load within its allowance. In Nashville, roofers and homeowners count on us to match container size to the roof, so shingles, felt and flashing leave the property in one clean haul.
We ask for the squares, the number of layers and the shingle type, then recommend a size. A single layer on an average roof often fits a twenty-yard container, while multiple layers can push the weight past the limit. We explain what happens if the load goes over and how to spread the weight. Metal flashing, roofing felt and nails are normal parts of a roofing load, and we help you place the container close to the eave. Before the work starts, ask your roofer to tell you the number of layers and squares, and share those with us. Keep a tarp ready for rain, check the container fill line often and never let loose shingles stick up above the rim, because they can slide off during hauling.
