Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for a 25-square tear-off in Portland? Most jobs fit in a 20-yard container; use this rule for asphalt shingles: one square equals two-thirds of a cubic yard. Our low-wall roll-off aids loading, but monitor your tonnage. Proper planning keeps your project site clean throughout Multnomah and beyond.
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 inside a tight driveway for your shingle project and stays within 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 our roofing workhorse because low side walls let crews ground-throw shingles with minimal 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 keeps big tear-offs moving without a second haul-out slowing crew demobilization.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
Three-tab shingles weigh about 250 pounds per square and architectural laminate runs near 400; a 25-square tear-off totals 6,250 to 10,000 pounds before underlayment. A standard 10-Yard Roll-Off Container can’t handle that tonnage on one hooklift truck run without exceeding its weight limit, which is why Roofing Dumpster Rentals in Portland cap loads per pickup.
When you mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route that container to our general C&D debris service. Pure asphalt tear-offs run on a standard schedule—keeping your site clean and organized while staying within the local regulations.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We angle the swing-door of our Roll-Off to face your roof eave, saving crews from walking heavy loads around the house. Before we drop the can on your concrete, we always place wooden planks—our Driveway Boards—under the rollers to protect your property. This setup creates a clean six-foot tarp perimeter for a fast nail sweep.

Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing the eave where the crew is working to keep walk-in loading and ground-throw paths aligned.
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 nail cleanup runs in parallel with loading your heavy debris.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal weigh significantly more than asphalt: they punish a standard bin that was not built for the load. For these jobs, we route a reinforced 30-yard container with a heavier floor plate; we also cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to ensure legal axle weight. We use a lowboy for transport. Our crew also handles standard general construction debris service for mixed job-site loads.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run tight; the roll-off shouldn’t hold things up. Dispatch coordinates same-day haul-out to match the crew’s demobilization window so the driveway clears for inspection, gutter reinstall, or the homeowner. We route the swap-out around Portland crews’ schedules—booked by noon, on the truck the same afternoon!
