Built for Roofers
Roofing Dumpster Rental & Shingle Tear-Off Specialists
Shingles are deceptively heavy for their volume — a container that looks right by eye can hit its weight limit long before it’s full. Enter your roof size and material below, and we’ll estimate real tear-off weight and the right dumpster size. Same-day delivery available for roofing crews in Austin, Denver & San Antonio.
Heavy Load Experts
Shingles are deceptively heavy. We size by weight, not just volume, so you don’t get stuck with a container that’s full by tonnage before it looks full.
Same-Day Delivery
Roofers can’t wait on a broker. We own our trucks — call ahead and we’ll get a container on-site in Austin, Denver & San Antonio.
Standing Weekly Delivery
Running several tear-offs a week? Set up a standing delivery schedule instead of calling in each job separately — ask about a contractor account.

We Recommend
Based on your tear-off weight
Why Roofing Contractors Choose Dumpster Dogs
We understand roofing weight. Brokers who don’t handle roofing regularly tend to under-quote container size for shingle tear-offs — we size by material and layer count from the start.
Swap-outs on schedule. Large tear-offs that need multiple containers or a mid-job swap get staged on your timeline, not whenever a broker’s subcontractor gets to it.
One call for standing accounts. Crews running multiple roofs a week can set up recurring delivery instead of ordering job by job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?
Depends more on weight than volume. A single-layer 3-tab tear-off on a typical 20-square roof usually fits a 20-yard container; multi-layer or architectural shingle tear-offs on the same roof often need a 30-yard for the weight allowance alone. Use the calculator above for your specific roof.
Can I put tile or metal roofing in the same dumpster as shingles?
Metal, yes. Tile and concrete roofing is heavy enough that it usually needs its own container or a heavy-haul rated dumpster — call us before ordering if your job includes tile.
Do you offer same-day delivery for roofing crews?
Yes, same-day delivery is available in Austin, Denver, and San Antonio in most cases — call ahead of your tear-off date and we’ll get a container on-site.
Can I set up recurring weekly delivery for multiple roofing jobs?
Yes — roofing crews running several jobs a week can set up standing delivery instead of calling in each one separately. Ask about a contractor account.
What happens if my load goes over the weight limit?
Overage runs $75/ton. Multi-layer tear-offs are the most common way roofing loads go over — sizing up front based on layer count (like the calculator above) is the easiest way to avoid it.
