What size dumpster does a roof need? A 20 yard for most.
Most roof replacements in Fayetteville fit a 20 yard dumpster, which includes 2 tons and costs $495. A roof of 25 squares in thick architectural shingles can run 3 to 5 tons, so you may pay a little overage at $65 a ton. Two layers of shingles weigh double and call for a 30 yard.

How much do roof shingles weigh?
A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof. A square of 3-tab shingles (the flat, older style) weighs about 180 to 250 pounds. The thicker architectural kind weighs 210 to 430 pounds, depending on the brand and the nails and felt that come off with it. That's the number that matters, because the box fills by weight, not by volume.
| Roof | Layers | Weight estimate | Best box |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 squares, 3-tab | One | About 1.6 to 2 tons | 20 yard, no overage |
| 24 squares, architectural | One | About 2.5 to 5 tons | 20 yard, some overage |
| 24 squares | Two | About 5 to 10 tons | 30 yard and a swap |
Costing out a roof tear off dumpster
Take a 24-square roof with one layer of architectural shingles at roughly 270 pounds a square. That's about 6,500 pounds, or 3.2 tons. The 20 yard includes 2 tons, so you're 1.2 tons over, which is $78 at $65 a ton, for a total of $573. GAF's own guide says a 20 yard suits about a 2,000 square foot shingle roof.
Plywood and trim go in too
Bad roof decking, drip edge and old flashing also go in the box, and they add weight. The extra layers of felt under the shingles do as well. If your roofer is replacing the sheathing, mention it so we can suggest the 30 yard.
Where to put a roofing dumpster
Put it right under the eave the roofers will throw from, with room for the truck to back in straight. Cover the lawn and shrubs near it, and keep the cab of any truck clear. Tarp the box at the end of the day, because a summer thunderstorm in Fayetteville will double the weight of loose shingles in an hour.
We've hauled about 40 tear-offs this year, and the pattern holds: the roofer who tells the homeowner the weight up front never gets the angry call. We'd rather over-explain than watch someone get a $200 surprise on a 3-ton roof. Plain and simple.
Questions we hear most often.
What if my roof has two layers?
Plan on the 30 yard and expect to be over. Two layers double the weight, so a 24-square roof can reach 5 to 10 tons. We'll talk the numbers through before delivery.
Can I roof in the rain with the box on site?
Tarp it at the end of every day. Wet shingles and felt weigh more, and rain on a full box means a heavier load on the scale.
Do you take nails and flashing?
Yes, nails, flashing, drip edge and the felt come off with the shingles and go in. Keep a magnet handy for the yard, but the box doesn't need to be clean.
One question decides the size: how much the roof weighs.
We'll do the weight maths with you before the box arrives, so the bill never surprises the homeowner.

Roofing Dumpster Rental FAQ: know what you're paying for.
Straight answers to the questions we get on the phone.
How much does a roofing dumpster cost in Fayetteville?
A roofing dumpster costs $495 for a 20 yard and $595 for a 30 yard in Fayetteville. Each price includes delivery, pickup, disposal, 7 days and 2 or 3 tons. Roofs often pass the allowance, and extra weight is $65 per ton from the scale ticket.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof?
Most one-layer roofs on an average house fit a 20 yard. Choose a 30 yard for a large roof, two layers of shingles or when the decking is coming off too. GAF says a 20 yard suits about a 2,000 square foot roof.
How much do shingles weigh?
A square of 3-tab shingles weighs about 180 to 250 pounds and a square of architectural shingles about 210 to 430 pounds. A square is 100 square feet of roof. Two layers weigh double, which is why roofs often pass the weight allowance.
Can I mix roofing with other debris?
Yes, shingles, felt, flashing and plywood decking all go in together. Keep yard waste out, because limbs and brush must be loaded separately. Tires, batteries and liquids are never allowed in the box.
