30-Yard Roofing Waste Dumpster

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:

1. How many squares is the roof? (1 square = 100 sq. ft.)
2. How many layers are on the roof?
3. 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.
