Matching Dumpster to Roof Size

Measuring the roof accurately is key to choosing a roof dumpster that is the correct size for the job. If you need to brush up on this skill, GAF has released a guide on how to measure a roof properly. While you measure, don’t forget to check for a second layer of shingles beneath the first, as this will double the size of dumpster you need. And whether you use roofing squares or work in total square feet, our roof calculator will provide estimated weight needed, and we can recommend the appropriate size roof dumpster for your specific job needs.

Weight Limits for Hauling

Choosing your dumpster size isn’t just about the sheer volume the disposed shingles will take up. It’s more important to estimate their weight. Our billing is done by weight, and asphalt shingles are one of the heavier materials that we haul for our customers.

Usually, the container is strong enough to hold much more than the weight limit. Instead, weight limits for hauling in dumpsters are set to ensure safety on the roadways. Each dumpster size will have a different weight limit, depending on the capacity of the truck that will be hauling it.
