Streamline Your Roofing Projects with Fast, Reliable Dumpster Service

Roofing jobs move fast, and the debris moves just as quickly. Shingles, underlayment, nails, flashing, and damaged decking can pile up in minutes, crowding your job site and creating safety hazards. Roofers know that efficient cleanup is essential for staying on schedule and maintaining a safe, organized workspace.

Roofing professionals across Central Pennsylvania rely on One Dial Dumpster for dependable roofing dumpster rentals that keep debris under control and projects on track.

Why Roofers Need a Dedicated Dumpster

Roofing debris is heavy, messy, and bulky. It fills containers faster than most types of construction waste. A dedicated roofing dumpster helps streamline every phase of the job.

A Safer Worksite

Loose shingles, nails, and broken materials can create trip hazards. A dumpster keeps debris contained and reduces the risk of accidents.

Faster Cleanup

Crew members can toss materials directly into a nearby dumpster, reducing downtime and keeping the work area clear.

Higher Productivity

A clean work zone helps roofers move efficiently between tear-off and installation.

Proper Disposal

Roofing materials require responsible handling. Many landfills in Pennsylvania accept asphalt shingles, but loads must be free of prohibited materials. Clear sorting supports compliance with local disposal rules.

Professional Appearance

Clients notice when a roofing crew keeps a clean site. Organized projects help build trust and demonstrate attention to detail. Whether you are replacing a small residential roof or working on a large commercial property, having a dedicated dumpster keeps your project running smoothly.

Commercial Junk Removal

Best for: One-time cleanouts or businesses that want fast, hands-off service.

Junk removal is full-service. Our crew handles all labor, lifting, loading, and hauling. It is ideal for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, or property managers seeking quick clearance without dedicating internal staff to the task.

Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Roofing Projects

Roofing projects vary, and so does the amount of debris they produce. We offer three sizes that work well for roofing tear-offs and material disposal.

 

10-Yard Dumpster
Ideal for small residential roofs or lightweight, single-layer tear-offs.

15-Yard Dumpster
Better for medium-sized roofs or projects involving two shingle layers.

20-Yard Dumpster
Best for large homes, commercial roofs, or heavier debris loads.

 

Pro Tip

Asphalt shingles typically weigh 250 to 300 pounds per square. Choosing the right dumpster size helps avoid overweight fees and keeps disposal simple.

What Roofing Materials Can Go in a Dumpster

Contractors can dispose of most roofing debris, including:

 

  • Asphalt shingles and felt
  • Tar paper and underlayment
  • Roofing nails, flashing, and metal edging
  • Plywood, decking, and scrap wood
  • Packaging, plastic wrap, and old gutters

Not Allowed

Hazardous waste such as tar cans, solvents, propane tanks, adhesive containers, and flammable chemicals must be taken to an appropriate facility.
