Tearing off a roof is tough work—disposing of the debris shouldn’t be.

We proudly serve clients throughout the Bay Area, delivering well-maintained roll-off dumpsters that are built to handle shingles, tiles, underlayment, flashing, nails, and other roofing materials.

What is a Roofing Dumpster?

A Purpose-Built Roll-Off for Heavy, Bulky, and High-Volume Roofing Debris

A roofing dumpster is a roll-off container specifically suited to handle roofing materials like asphalt shingles, wood shakes, clay tiles, underlayment, felt, and flashing. These materials are dense, heavy, and often sharp, making it important to use a dumpster that’s reinforced and sized appropriately for the job.

At UPCycle Dumpsters, we offer 20-yard and 30-yard dumpsters for roofing waste, as these sizes offer the best balance between volume capacity and legal road weight limits.

What Roofing Materials Can Go in the Dumpster?

Simplify Cleanup by Disposing of All Roofing Debris in One Load

Our roofing dumpsters are built to handle a wide range of roofing materials. We also make sure to dispose of them responsibly, working with licensed local facilities that follow environmentally sound practices.

Commonly Accepted Roofing Waste Includes:

  • Asphalt shingles (most common)

  • Metal roofing panels

  • Clay, slate, or concrete tiles

  • Wood shakes and shingles

  • Tar paper and roofing felt

  • Flashing and drip edge

  • Nails and fasteners

  • Roof decking material (plywood or OSB)

  • Small roofing hardware

Not sure if a material is allowed? Just ask. We’ll let you know what’s accepted and help you avoid loading prohibited items like insulation, asbestos, or hazardous chemicals.

Dumpster Sizes Ideal for Roofing Projects

Tailored to Fit the Weight and Volume of Roofing Debris

Different roofing materials come with different densities—and different jobs create different volumes of waste. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right size for your project:

nvironmentally Responsible Roofing Waste Disposal

We Sort, Recycle, and Reduce Landfill Waste

At UPCycle Dumpsters, we don’t just toss everything into the landfill. We sort and recycle asphalt shingles, metal panels, and other materials when permitted, partnering with local transfer stations and recycling centers that share our commitment to sustainability.

Recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) can be repurposed into:

  • Road base material

  • Paving asphalt

  • Construction fill

  • Fuel in cement kilns

By renting a roofing dumpster from us, you’re not only simplifying your cleanup—you’re making a more environmentally conscious choice that contributes to a cleaner Bay Area.

Tips for a Smooth Roofing Dumpster Rental

Load Smarter, Save Time, and Stay Under Budget

  • Estimate Your Squares Accurately
    Know how many “squares” (100 sq. ft. per square) your roof has, and how many layers you’re removing. This helps us recommend the right dumpster size and tonnage.

  • Keep It Roofing Waste Only
    Mixing general debris or construction waste can complicate disposal and increase costs. Use a dedicated dumpster for roofing materials only.

  • Distribute Weight Evenly
    Shingles are heavy! Load them as evenly as possible to avoid tipping hazards and ensure smooth pickup.

  • Don’t Overfill
    Always load below the fill line to avoid surcharges or delayed pickups. Our team will guide you on safe loading limits.

  • Schedule Pickup Early
    Let us know in advance when you’ll finish the job. We’ll arrange a fast pickup so your site stays clean and ready for the next phase.
