Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares

How big a roll-off do you actually need for a roof tear-off in New Orleans? Our 20-yard container is the standard choice: count one asphalt shingle square as two-thirds of a cubic yard. Most jobs fit this low-wall roll-off; one square adds roughly one-third of a ton to your total tonnage. Call (504) 636-8692.

Our 10-yard can fits in a tight driveway for small shingle tear-offs, keeping weight under limits per single haul.

30-Yard Roofing Dumpster

  • Capacity: 30 cubic yards

  • Best for: Multi-layer tear-offs and small commercial roofs

The 30-yard bin handles larger tear-offs so crews can demobilize without a second haul-out delay.

Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning

The three-tab shingle squares average 250 pounds, architectural laminate runs closer to 400, so a 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment is added. That tonnage routes through a hooklift truck to the landfill without breaking the weight limit on a single pickup. Roofing dumpsters cap at lower side walls, which keeps the debris inside the haul-out range for most urban homes. How does that translate to a 10-yard container?

Mixing shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts changes how we handle your container, as these loads must be routed to our standard C&D debris service—rather than a dedicated roofing option—to ensure proper processing at the local facility.

Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow

We angle the swing-door end toward your eave so the crew can ground-throw shingles directly into the roll-off. Before we drop the container in New Orleans, we set heavy wooden planks under every roller to protect your driveway. This six-foot tarp perimeter ensures a clean nail sweep after the job. Consult our roof tear-off container sizing for capacity, then review the asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide to finish your project properly.

Drop angle

Rear door toward the roof line

Set the swing-door end facing your eave so that walk-in loading and ground-throw operations share one clear, efficient travel path.

Surface protection

Wooden planks under every roller

Loaded shingle weight can gouge concrete; driveway boards stay under the rear rollers for the full rental window.

Sweep zone

Six-foot tarp perimeter

Stage magnetic sweepers on the tarp side so nail cleanup can run in parallel with loading your heavy materials.

Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers

Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal weigh heavily; they punish a standard container that lacks a reinforced floor plate. We route a 30-yard low-wall bin onto a lowboy trailer for these jobs: the thicker steel sides handle the density, while we cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to keep the axle weight legal. Please reach out to our team if you also need our general construction debris service for your site.
