Roofing dumpster rental in Marietta
How big a roll-off do you need for a Marietta roof tear-off? We drop a 10-yard container, haul it when the crew leaves—no waiting for a swap-out.
Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for a 25-square tear-off in Marietta? Most contractors use this rule: asphalt shingles occupy two-thirds of a cubic yard per square; therefore, a 20-yard container holds roughly 30 squares. Our low-wall roll-off makes loading easy for the crew in Cobb. Watch your tonnage when filling to the top.
15-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 15 cubic yards
- Fits: 15–20 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Single-layer ranch and bungalow tear-offs
Our 10-yard can fits a tight driveway for small roof tear-offs, keeping shingle weight under legal tonnage limits.
20-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 20 cubic yards
- Fits: 25–30 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Most two-story residential tear-offs
The 20-Yard Container is the roofing workhorse because low side walls let crews ground-throw shingles with less scaffolding.
30-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 30 cubic yards
- Fits: 35–45 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Multi-layer tear-offs and small commercial roofs
The 30-yard bin handles larger tear-offs so crews can demobilize fast without a second haul-out delay.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
Most three-tab squares average 250 pounds, architectural laminate about 400; a 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment. How does that route onto a 10-yard dumpster? The hooklift truck will weigh it against the weight limit, so the roofing dumpster’s lower side walls keep the tonnage inside the haul-out cap on a single pickup.
When you mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, the material is routed to our general construction service as C&D debris. We manage this container flow differently—keeping clean asphalt tear-offs separate from your standard mixed building waste.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We place your roll-off at an angle so the swing-door faces your eave, allowing the crew to ground-throw shingles directly into the container. Using driveway boards under the rollers before we drop the can protects your concrete from damage. We recommend a six-foot tarp perimeter to assist your nail sweep. For Marietta projects, review our roof tear-off container sizing or follow the asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide to finish your job efficiently.
Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing the eave where the crew is working to streamline both walk-in loading and ground-throw operations.
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 your nail cleanup runs in parallel with the daily loading.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal punish a standard bin: they weigh two to four times more than shingles. For these jobs, we route a reinforced 30-yard container with a heavier floor plate and ribbed sides to handle the stress; we also cap the fill volume below the visual rim to keep the axle weight legal. This Low-wall profile fits on a lowboy for transport. We also offer a general construction debris service for mixed loads.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run tight schedules; a roll-off shouldn’t slow crews down. Dispatch coordinates same-day haul-out to match demobilization, pulling the container before the crew leaves so the driveway clears for inspection or reinstall. Cobb crews route swap-outs for Marietta properties booked by noon, on the truck the same afternoon!
