Tearing Off a Roof? We'll Drop a Dumpster Right Where You Need It.
Shingles are heavy. Don't haul them yourself — get a dumpster placed close to the job and toss debris straight in.
Roofing tear-offs generate a massive amount of heavy debris in a short time. A typical residential roof produces 2–4 tons of old shingles, underlayment, flashing, and nails. Having a dumpster positioned next to the house means your crew (or you) can toss material directly in without hauling it across the yard.
For most single-layer residential roofing jobs, our 15-yard dumpster is the sweet spot. It handles the weight and volume of a standard 20–30 square roof. If you're dealing with multiple layers, a larger home, or adding in gutters and fascia, go with the 20-yard to be safe.
Roofing debris is heavy — that's why weight matters. With our $199 base + $0.09/lb pricing, you only pay for the actual weight of your shingles. No pre-set weight limits to worry about — just load it up and we weigh it at pickup.
We work with roofing contractors and DIY homeowners across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Call us the day before your tear-off and we'll have the dumpster placed and ready to go when you start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size dumpster do I need for a roofing tear-off?
A 15-yard handles most single-layer residential roofs (up to about 30 squares). For multi-layer roofs, larger homes, or if you're also replacing gutters and fascia, go with the 20-yard.
How heavy are roofing shingles?
A bundle of asphalt shingles weighs 60–80 lbs, and a typical roof has 60–90 bundles. A full tear-off can weigh 2–4 tons. Our weight-based pricing means you only pay for the actual weight — no surprise overage fees.
Can I put the dumpster close to the house for a roofing job?
Yes. We'll place the dumpster as close to the roof edge as possible so your crew can toss debris directly in. Let us know your preferred placement when you call.
Do I need to separate nails from shingles?
No. Nails, flashing, underlayment, and shingles can all go in together. Just avoid mixing in concrete or other heavy masonry materials.
