Why Roofers Rent From TS Waste

Roofing waste has its own rules. Our service is set up around them.

Sized for Weight, Not Just Volume

Asphalt shingles are dense and heavy. We help you match the container to the weight of your tear-off so you avoid overloading and delays.

On-Site When You Need It

Drop-off and pickup scheduled around your job timeline, keeping the debris contained and the work area clear from tear-off to cleanup.

Multi-State Coverage

We serve the Philadelphia metro and surrounding counties in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, so your crews can work across the tri-state area with one provider.

Contractor-Focused Service

We work with general contractors, roofers, and demolition crews every day and understand the pace of a job site.

Full Range of Container Sizes

From 10 to 40 cubic yards, we carry the full lineup so you’re never stuck with a container that’s too small — or paying for one too large.

Keeps Job Sites Clean and Safe

A dedicated debris container means fewer nails, fewer trip hazards, and a tidier property that clients appreciate.

Recommended Dumpster Sizes for Tear-Offs

A general starting point for matching container size to the scope of a roofing job. Because shingles are heavy, err toward the guidance below rather than filling by volume alone.

10–12 Cubic Yard Best for small residential tear-offs, single-layer roofs, and garage or shed jobs where debris weight is the limiting factor.
15 Cubic Yard A solid middle option for average-size single-family homes and moderate single- or double-layer tear-offs.
20 Cubic Yard Well suited to larger homes, multi-layer tear-offs, and jobs with additional decking or underlayment removal.
30–40 Cubic Yard For large residential re-roofs, multi-unit properties, and commercial roofing projects generating high debris volume.

Weight and Shingle Guidance

Roofing debris is one of the heaviest materials a dumpster handles. A container that looks half full by volume can already be near its weight limit. Planning around weight — not just how high the pile looks — is the single most important step for a smooth roofing rental.

When you request a quote, tell us the approximate square footage of the roof and how many layers you’re tearing off. That lets us recommend a container and configuration that won’t leave you stuck mid-job. If you’re unsure, our team can talk through the details with you.

Count the Layers
Multiple shingle layers dramatically increase weight. Two layers can nearly double the debris of a single tear-off.

Include the Extras
Underlayment, decking, flashing, and old nails all add to the load — account for them when sizing.

Don’t Overfill
Keep debris level with the top of the container so it stays safe and legal to haul away.

Ask Before You Guess
When in doubt, share your job details and let us recommend the right size so you avoid overweight surprises.

How Job-Site Scheduling Works

Renting a roofing dumpster with TS Waste is built to fit around your work.

  1. Request a Quote
    Tell us your job location, roof size, and number of layers so we can recommend the right container and provide contractor pricing.
  2. Schedule Your Drop-Off
    We coordinate delivery to your job site ahead of the tear-off so your crew can start clean.
  3. Fill It As You Work
    Load shingles and roofing debris throughout the job, keeping the property clear and the crew safe.
  4. Call for Pickup
    When the job wraps, let us know and we’ll haul the container away so you can hand back a clean site.

What Goes in a Roofing Dumpster

Typical roofing tear-off materials our containers are built to handle.

Asphalt Shingles

The core of most tear-offs — heavy, dense, and best planned for by weight.

Underlayment & Felt

Roofing felt, synthetic underlayment, and building paper removed during the job.

Wood Decking

Damaged or rotted decking and sheathing pulled during re-roofing.

Flashing & Trim

Old metal flashing, drip edge, and related trim materials.

Roofing Waste Rules in PA and NJ

Roofing tear-offs generate large volumes of construction debris, and disposal is subject to state and local waste rules across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Certain materials — and older roofing components in particular — may have handling requirements that differ from standard construction debris.

If your project may involve materials beyond standard asphalt shingles and decking, let us know when you request your quote. We can help you understand what belongs in the container so your job stays compliant and your haul-away goes smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the roof’s square footage and how many shingle layers you’re removing. Smaller residential jobs often fit a 10 to 15 cubic yard container, while larger or multi-layer tear-offs and commercial roofs may need a 20 to 40 cubic yard container. Because shingles are so heavy, share your job details with us and we’ll recommend the right size.

Asphalt shingles are dense, so a roofing dumpster can reach its weight limit long before it looks full. Planning around weight — including extra layers, underlayment, and decking — prevents overloading and job-site delays.
