Roofing Dumpster Rental

Dumpster rentals for roofing projects in Denton County. Important: roofing debris is heavy. Read our weight limits and restrictions before booking.

Dumpster Rental for Roofing Projects

Roofing debris is one of the heaviest materials we handle. A single layer of asphalt shingles from a 2,000 sq ft roof weighs roughly 2-3 tons, and that's before underlayment, flashing, and nails. Because of this, roofing projects require careful attention to weight limits.

Our trucks have a maximum lift capacity of 4 tons (8,000 lbs). For a small, single-layer residential tear-off, an 18 or 20 yard dumpster may work. However, larger roofs and multi-layer tear-offs will exceed our weight capacity. Please call us before booking so we can determine if our dumpsters are the right fit for your project.

Important: Weight Limits

Our maximum weight capacity is 4 tons (8,000 lbs) per load. Roofing shingles are extremely heavy and fill up this allowance quickly. Overweight loads cannot be picked up and will incur additional charges.

Large quantity shingle disposal is restricted. Multi-layer tear-offs, commercial roofing debris, and loads consisting primarily of shingles frequently exceed our weight limits. Call (972) 955-3882 to discuss your project before booking.

Before You Book for a Roofing Project

  • Call first. Roofing debris is our heaviest material category. We need to confirm your project fits within our 4-ton weight capacity before you book.
  • Know your roof size and layers. A single layer of shingles from a 2,000 sq ft roof weighs 2-3 tons. Multi-layer tear-offs will likely exceed our weight limit.
  • Distribute weight evenly. Shingles are dense. Load from one end to the other to prevent the container from becoming unbalanced.
  • Overweight loads cannot be picked up. If the dumpster exceeds 8,000 lbs, we cannot safely lift it. Additional charges and delays will apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put roofing shingles in a dumpster?
Small amounts of mixed roofing debris are accepted within our 4-ton (8,000 lb) weight limit. However, full roof tear-offs and large quantities of shingles are restricted because they frequently exceed our weight capacity. Call (972) 955-3882 to discuss your specific project before booking.
How much do roofing shingles weigh?
A single layer of standard asphalt shingles weighs roughly 2-3 tons per 2,000 sq ft of roof area. Architectural shingles are heavier. Multi-layer tear-offs can easily exceed 4 tons. Our trucks have a maximum lift capacity of 4 tons (8,000 lbs), so it is critical to call us before booking for any roofing project.
What materials are not accepted?
We do not accept concrete, brick, stone, rocks, gravel, dirt, heavy metals in bulk, large quantities of shingles, hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, tires, batteries, or appliances containing refrigerant. If you're unsure about a specific material, call us at (972) 955-3882 before booking.
What happens if my dumpster is overweight?
If a dumpster exceeds our 4-ton (8,000 lb) lift capacity, we cannot safely pick it up. The load will need to be reduced before pickup, and additional charges may apply. This is why we strongly recommend calling before booking for heavy materials like roofing shingles, concrete, or dirt.
