Roofing dumpsters

Roofing is the job where dumpster size matters most, because shingles are heavy. One layer of asphalt shingles runs about 200 to 250 pounds per roofing square. Use this as a starting point, then confirm with the provider:

Roof sizeApprox. weight (1 layer)Typical dumpster
Up to 15 squares1.5 to 2 tons10 or 15 yard
15 to 25 squares2 to 3 tons15 or 20 yard
25 to 35 squares3 to 4.5 tons20 yard, or two smaller loads
Two layersAbout doubleAsk about weight before booking

Ask for a dumpster set as close to the eave as the driveway allows, so your crew can drop debris straight in. Many roofers put a tarp down along the house to catch nails and stray shingles.

New construction dumpsters

From Greer to Simpsonville, new subdivisions keep going up across Greenville County. Builders typically use 30 yard dumpsters for framing scrap, drywall offcuts, packaging and general job-site waste. Many providers offer:

  • Swap service so a full can leaves and an empty one arrives in one trip
  • Scheduled swaps on a set day each week
  • Multiple dumpsters across a subdivision
  • Contractor accounts with invoicing

New builds and additions keep a roll-off on site from framing to final cleanup.

Remodeling and demolition

Interior demo produces drywall, plaster, cabinets, tile, flooring and fixtures. Plaster and tile are heavy, so a 15 or 20 yard dumpster with a realistic weight allowance often beats a half-full 30 that goes over the limit. For concrete, brick, block or dirt, ask about a dedicated heavy-debris container.

Job-site placement

  • The truck needs firm ground. After heavy rain, unpaved lots can be a problem for delivery and pickup.
  • Leave about 60 feet of straight approach and about 20 feet of overhead clearance.
  • If the dumpster must go on a public street, check permit rules with the City of Greenville or Greenville County first.

Keep your bill clean

  • Keep paint, solvents, tires and batteries out (see restricted items).
  • Don't overfill. Debris must stay below the top rail.
  • Keep neighbors and passersby from using your dumpster. A locking lid or placement near the house helps.

What contractors should have ready when they call

  • Job-site address and gate or lockbox details
  • Type of debris and an estimate of tonnage
  • Start date, expected length of the job, and swap frequency
  • Who on site can guide the driver and confirm placement
  • Billing contact and PO number if your company uses them

If you're a roofer working storm claims around Greenville, also mention whether you'll need same-day or next-morning drops. After a hail or wind event, trucks book up quickly, and a provider that knows your volume ahead of time can plan for it.

Clear information on the first call means the right container shows up on day one, and swaps happen without extra calls from the field.
