Roofing dumpster rental in Savannah
Need a roll-off on your Savannah roof tear-off day? We set and haul it fast after the crew pulls old shingles.
Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for a Savannah roof tear-off? Most jobs require a 20-yard container; our low-wall units simplify loading for heavy asphalt shingles. Use this rule: one square of roofing equals two-thirds of a cubic yard of volume. Keep your tonnage in mind for Chatham projects; then simply fill and cover.
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 shingle tear-offs, keeping weight within a single haul.
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
Keep the 30-yard bin on site to avoid a second haul-out and keep crew demobilization on schedule.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
Most three-tab shingles average about 250 pounds per square; architectural laminate runs closer to 400. A 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment, so the hooklift truck routes it in a roofing dumpster sized to stay under the weight limit on one pickup. How does that translate to a 10-yard? The side walls are lower to cap the tonnage safely.
When a site contains shingles mixed with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route that container to our general c&d debris service—keeping pure asphalt tear-offs on the standard roofing line. This ensures we process your waste at the correct facility.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We angle the swing-door of our Roll-Off toward the eave to keep your roofing crew on task. Before we set the container, we place Driveway Boards under the rollers to protect your concrete in Savannah. This creates a clear lane for your team to work within a six-foot tarp perimeter for a final nail sweep. Check our roof tear-off container sizing or follow the asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide to finish safely.
Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing the eave where the crew is working so walk-in loading and ground-throw share one 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 that nail cleanup can run in parallel with your daily loading.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal weigh substantially more than asphalt: they punish a standard container that was not built for the load. For these jobs, we route in a reinforced 30-yard low-wall bin featuring thicker sides and a heavier floor plate; we cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to ensure legal axle weight. We transport these heavy loads via lowboy. Check our general construction debris service for mixed loads.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run on tight crews; the roll-off shouldn’t be the bottleneck. Dispatch coordinates same-day haul-out around the crew’s demobilization window so the driveway frees up for inspection or gutter reinstall before the homeowner returns. In Chatham we route the swap-out for zero delay!
