Best Dumpster Sizes for Roofing Projects in Houston
Choose the right size based on your roof area and material type
📐 Roofing Square Calculator
One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. To calculate squares, measure your roof's length and width, multiply them together, then divide by 100.
= 15 squares → 15-20 yard dumpster
= 20 squares → 20 yard dumpster
= 30 squares → 30 yard dumpster
= 40+ squares → 40 yard dumpster
Understanding Roofing Debris Weight in Houston
Roofing materials are among the heaviest debris types. Proper weight calculation prevents overages and ensures safe transport.
| Material Type | Weight per Square | Common in Houston | Disposal Notes | Recommended Container |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingles (3-tab) | 200-250 lbs | Very Common | Most landfills accept | 20-30 yard |
| Architectural Shingles | 300-400 lbs | Very Common | Heavier than 3-tab | 20-30 yard |
| Clay/Concrete Tile | 600-1,000 lbs | Common (Spanish style) | Extremely heavy | 30-40 yard |
| Wood Shingles | 150-300 lbs | Less Common | May require special disposal | 20 yard |
| Metal Roofing | 50-150 lbs | Growing Popularity | High scrap value | 15-20 yard |
| Built-Up Roofing (BUR) | 400-800 lbs | Commercial Buildings | Tar and gravel heavy | 30-40 yard |
⚠️ Weight Calculation Critical for Houston Roofers
Houston's older neighborhoods often have multiple layers of shingles. A 2,000 sq ft roof with two layers of architectural shingles can weigh 16,000+ pounds - that's 8 tons of debris!
Always account for underlayment, felt paper, flashing, and any decking replacement when calculating total weight. Call us at (866) 561-2833 for expert sizing guidance.

Roofing Dumpster FAQs (Houston Specific)
Answers to the most common questions from Houston roofing contractors
Safe Loading Practices for Houston Roofers
Protect your crew and avoid injuries with proper dumpster loading techniques
✅ Safe Loading Practices
- 🎯 Load heavy materials (shingles, tiles) first as base layer
- ⚡ Distribute weight evenly across container floor
- 📏 Keep all debris below the container rim
- 🥾 Wear proper footwear when walking on debris
- 👥 Use team lifting for heavy items like fascade boards
- 🌪️ Secure lightweight materials to prevent wind scatter
- 🚫 Never throw debris from more than 10 feet above container
- 🧹 Break down large sections to prevent overloading one area
- ⚠️ Avoid loading in windy conditions above 25 mph
- 🔍 Check for nails and sharp objects before handling
⚠️ Common Hazards to Avoid
- 🔥 Overloading one side of container (tip hazard)
- 📐 Loading above rim line (transport violation)
- 🔨 Leaving nails and screws exposed on top
- 💨 Not securing loose materials in Houston winds
- 🏃 Running or rushing while carrying debris
- ⚡ Loading in poor lighting conditions
- 🌧️ Continuing to load during wet conditions
- 🦺 Working without proper safety equipment
- 📱 Distracted loading (phones, conversations)
- 🚚 Loading while delivery truck is still positioning
🌪️ Special Considerations for Houston Weather
Houston's hot, humid climate and afternoon thunderstorms create unique safety challenges. Start early in the morning during summer months to avoid peak heat. Always have a plan for securing the job site if sudden storms develop.
During hurricane season (June-November), secure all loose materials and consider temporary tarping of partially loaded containers if severe weather threatens.
