Handling Waste on a Roof Tear-Off

Sizing, placement and weight for shingle disposal.

Shingles are heavy

A square of standard asphalt shingles weighs roughly 250 pounds, and a second layer adds the same again. Twenty squares of two-layer roofing is around five tons.

Size by weight, not volume

A 20 yard container full of shingles will hit its weight limit long before it looks full. Ask for a shingle-specific weight allowance.

Placement decides your labor cost

A container positioned within a few feet of the drop zone can cut a crew's cleanup time in half.

Protect the landscaping

Plywood over shrubs and a tarp on the ground catches the nails that always miss the container.
