Roofing dumpster rental in Aurora
Need a roll-off on-site when the roofers finish? We drop a 10- or 20-yard container in Aurora—then haul it away when you call for the swap-out.
Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for your roof project in Aurora? Most of our clients use this rule: one square of asphalt shingles equals roughly two-thirds of a cubic yard. Our low-wall 20-yard container is perfect for the job; it keeps the sides manageable for loading. Tonnage matters for these heavy loads, so plan accordingly.
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 and keeps shingle weight within legal tonnage on one 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 our roofing workhorse, featuring low side walls so crews can ground-throw shingles with ease.
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
The 30-yard bin is built for larger tear-offs when a second haul-out would stall crew demobilization on tight schedules.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
Most asphalt shingles aren’t light; three-tab averages 250 pounds, architectural laminate runs closer to 400. A 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment, so the hooklift truck’s weight limit matters. How does that translate to a 10-yard? We route smaller half-square jobs in a 10-yard can to cap the load within a single haul.
When you mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route that load to our general C&D debris service. Pure asphalt tear-offs stay on our standard roofing container, which remains the simplest way to clear your project.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
We angle the swing-door of your roll-off toward the eave to keep the crew working efficiently; this placement creates a direct line for shingles. We set the can on driveway boards to protect the concrete from the heavy steel rollers. After we drop the unit in Aurora, we recommend a six-foot tarp perimeter for a clean nail sweep. Check our roof tear-off container sizing and the asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide for details.
Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing your eave so that your walk-in loading and ground-throw operations share the same clear 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 nail cleanup runs in parallel with loading your heavy debris.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal punish a standard bin: they weigh two to four times what asphalt does per square. For these jobs, we route in a reinforced 30-yard low-wall container with thicker ribs and a heavier floor plate; we also cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to keep axle weight legal. We haul these using a lowboy, which is distinct from our general construction debris service.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run tight crews; we route the swap-out before the crew demobilizes so the roll-off clears the driveway for inspection or gutter reinstall. Dispatch coordinates same-day haul-out within the crew’s window; homeowner steps out to a clean site. Serving Aurora and Arapahoe crews daily.
