Roofing Dumpster Rental In Barrington, IL
Choosing the right size:
Roofing waste is very dense, so weight matters more than volume. Overloading a dumpster can exceed weight limits even if it’s only partially filled. Overweight loads are charged at $70 per ton over the limit.
To estimate weight, consider:
- How many squares is the roof? (1 square = 100 sq. ft.)
- How many layers are on the roof?
- Are the shingles three-tab or architectural?
- Three-tab shingles: ~260 lbs per square
- Architectural shingles: ~400 lbs per square
- Average roof: 30 squares
Example:
30 squares × 260 lbs = 7,800 lbs ÷ 2,000 = 3.9 tons of roofing waste
- 20-yard dumpster: ~23 squares
- 30-yard dumpster: ~30 squares (estimates do not include plywood or other roofing debris)
This helps you plan your roofing dumpster rental in Barrington and avoid extra weight charges during your project.
