Sizing and loading tips for shingle tear-offs.
Calculate by squares
One roofing square is 100 square feet. Each layer of asphalt shingles weighs roughly 250 to 300 pounds per square.
Pick a low-wall container
10 and 20-yard dumpsters let crews toss debris directly from the roof edge.
Protect landscaping
Use tarps around the house to catch nails and granules that miss the dumpster.
Check for multiple layers
Two layers doubles the weight. Mention it when booking.
