Old shingles are heavy. Size the container by squares and layers, not by how big the pile looks.

East Texas spring storms bring hail and straight-line wind, and after a big one many Tyler neighborhoods see a wave of re-roofs at once. Containers can get scarce in those weeks, so it helps to ask early.

Estimating shingle weight

Roofs are measured in squares, with one square covering a hundred square feet. A square of old three-tab asphalt shingles commonly weighs a couple hundred pounds, and heavier architectural shingles weigh more. Add felt, nails, drip edge and any rotten decking, and a full tear-off on an average house can weigh several tons.

Two layers roughly doubles the weight. Mention a second layer, wood decking replacement or any old cedar shakes under the asphalt when you ask for a quote, so the container and the included tons fit the job.

Placing the box near the roof

Crews like the container close to the eave so they can toss debris straight in. That often means the driveway right under the roofline. Ask for boards under the rails, and keep the box clear of gutters, AC units and landscaping that falling debris could hit.

Magnetic sweepers help find stray nails in the yard and driveway after the job. If the container must sit on the street, check with the City of Tyler first, and check your HOA rules on how long it can stay.

Keep the load clean

Some companies offer a lower rate for loads that are only shingles, because they can be handled separately. Keep household trash, lumber and metal flashing out if you are quoted for a shingle-only box.

Frequently asked questions

What size dumpster for a roof tear-off?
