Roofing shingle dumpsters for tear-offs of any size, with weight guidance, sizing by roofing squares and placement close to the eave.
A roof tear-off sends thousands of pounds of shingles, felt and flashing to the ground in a day. A dumpster placed at the eave lets the crew drop debris straight in, which saves time and protects the landscaping. Roofers and homeowners in Nashville depend on the right-sized container because shingles are heavy, and a container that is too small means a delay while the crew waits for a swap.
Roofs are measured in squares, with each square covering one hundred square feet. The number of squares, the layers and the shingle type determine how heavy the load will be. We ask for those details and recommend a size, often a twenty-yard for an average roof. We also explain the weight allowance and what happens if you go over it. Placement matters, so we choose a spot close to the roof edge that still gives the truck room to pick up. Ask your roofer how many layers are on the roof and how many squares they measure, because those two numbers drive the size. Protect the driveway with plywood, cover the container before rain and keep a magnetic sweeper handy for nails around the container after the work is done.
