Roofing dumpster rental in Bronx
Need a roll-off dumpster on a Bronx driveway the day your roofers pull the old shingles? One call drops it clean.
Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a container do you actually need for a Bronx roof tear-off? Most jobs require a 20-yard container; our low-wall roll-off makes loading asphalt shingles simple. Use this rule for your square count: one square equals two-thirds of a cubic yard. Tonnage limits apply for each bin, so ask us about your specific project weight today.
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 in a tight driveway for small roof tear-offs while keeping shingle weight under legal tonnage.
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 the roofing workhorse because low side walls let crews ground-throw shingles with minimal scaffold setup.
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 handles larger tear-offs so you skip the second haul-out and keep crew demobilization on schedule.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
The three-tab shingle averages 250 pounds per square, architectural laminate runs closer to 400. A 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment is added, which is why roofing dumpsters use lower side walls to keep the weight inside the weight limit on a single hooklift route. How does that translate to a 10-yard? Loads stay capped and the hooklift truck can haul it without issues.
When you mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route that container to a general c&d debris service—instead of our standard roofing line. This ensures every load goes to the correct facility, keeping your project moving forward.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We angle the roll-off so the swing-door faces the eave your crew is starting on, which saves walking armloads around the house. Before the container touches concrete in the Bronx, we place heavy Driveway Boards under every steel roller; this protects your pavement during a roof tear-off container sizing process. We also suggest a six-foot tarp perimeter for a clean nail sweep. Consult this asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide for details. Call (917) 905-7087.
Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing your eave so that walk-in loading and ground-throw debris follow the same clear, efficient path.
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 can run 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: these materials punish a standard bin. For these tear-offs, we route in a reinforced 30-yard container with a heavier floor plate and thick, ribbed sides to handle the stress. We cap the fill volume below the visual rim to ensure axle weight stays legal; we then use a lowboy for transport. Our general construction debris service handles mixed loads for your site.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run tight; the roll-off shouldn’t hold things up. We dispatch the swap-out on the crew’s demobilization window – driveway cleared for inspection or gutter reinstall before the homeowner steps back on site; Bronx crews do this same-day haul-out on schedule.
