Roofing dumpster rental in Lafayette, IN
Shingle tear-offs and roof replacements.
Shingles are one of the heaviest things people throw away. A 15-yard dumpster has plenty of room, so the number that matters is the included weight: 3 tons for $510 with Heavy Material.
Which load type
| Load type | Typical material | Included | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Material | Concrete, shingles, asphalt, masonry | 3 tons | $510 |
Heavy Material is the only load type for shingle tear-offs. Prices are for 2 days with delivery, pickup and dump fees included. Extra days are $50, weight over the limit is $80/ton, and a distance fee applies past 5 miles from Lafayette. How pricing works.
How many squares fit
A roofing square is 100 square feet. Typical weights for one layer:
- 3-tab asphalt shingles: about 200–250 lb per square
- Architectural shingles: about 250–400 lb per square
So 3 tons is roughly 15–30 squares of one layer. A second layer, wet shingles, felt and nails all add weight. Over the limit is $80/ton from the transfer station weigh-in, and the weight ticket is emailed to you. Never load past the 5-ton max gross weight.
Tear-off tips
- Book drop-off for the morning of tear-off and pickup for the day after.
- Spread shingles evenly instead of piling them at one end.
- Keep the load level with the top of the walls so it can be tarped.
What can't go in
Tires, paint, solvents, chemicals, liquids, propane tanks, batteries, appliances with refrigerant and hazardous materials can't go in. See the full list.
