Roofing Dumpster Size Guide
Match dumpster size to your squares, layers, and shingle type—no surprises at the scale.
Quick Picks by Roof Size
- Up to ~20 squares (1 layer): 10–15 yard
- 20–35 squares (1 layer): 20 yard
- 35–50 squares (1 layer): 30 yard
Two layers or heavier shingles? Downsize the yardage and plan a swap to stay within legal weights.
Weight Tips
Shingles are dense—load evenly, keep below the rim, and check included tonnage. Rain adds weight quickly; cover with a tarp overnight.
