🧮 FREE SHINGLE WEIGHT CALCULATOR

1 roofing square = 100 sq ft. Multiple layers can double or triple total weight.

Always check for a second layer before ordering — it can significantly increase debris weight.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DUMPSTER FOR YOUR ROOFING PROJECT

During a reroof job, you'll need to dispose of a significant amount of shingles. Selecting the correct dumpster size isn't always as simple as it seems — and getting it wrong can cost you.

If you underestimate the weight and overfill the container beyond its included weight allowance, you may be subject to overage charges. That's why estimating shingle weight before scheduling your dumpster is so important.

Why Proper Planning Matters:

  • Avoid overweight fees
  • Prevent the need for a second dumpster
  • Keep your project on schedule
  • Protect your bottom line

Important Tip: Always check for a second layer of shingles beneath the first. A second layer can nearly double the debris weight, which may require a larger dumpster to avoid overage charges.
