Dumpsters Built for Roofing Jobs
Roofing shingles are heavy — a square of asphalt shingles weighs 200–350 lbs. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof tear-off generates 2–2.5 tons of debris. That means your dumpster choice matters, and it means you need a company that's done this before.
TrashCo DFW has handled hundreds of roofing tear-offs across Dallas-Fort Worth. We know the timing roofing contractors work on, we know how shingles stack in a roll-off, and we know that a crew waiting on a dumpster that hasn't arrived is a problem. That's why every delivery comes with a live tracking link — your crew knows exactly when it lands.
Which Dumpster Size for Your Roofing Project?
| Dumpster | Best For | Weight Capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14-yard roll-off | Every roofing job, any size · Holds up to 60 squares of shingles · Single-layer or multi-layer tear-offs · Garage & shed roofs | Up to 2 tons included | $350 flat |
| Second 14-yard roll-off | Large homes, multiple shingle layers, tile or metal over shingles, or commercial low-slope roofs — delivered same trip or next | Up to 2 tons included, each can | $350 flat, each |
Why not just use a 21-yard for a big roof? Shingles are dense — a full 21-yard of roofing debris would be too heavy to legally and safely haul, and the overweight charge on a load that size would cost far more than just ordering a second 14-yard. For big tear-offs, two right-sized cans beat one oversized one every time. Call us with your square footage and we'll plan it out.
