Questions Answered

Roofing Dumpster FAQs (Memphis Specific)

Common questions from Memphis roofing contractors and homeowners

How much does a roofing dumpster cost in Memphis?

In Memphis, roofing dumpster rentals typically range from $449-$1,099 depending on size. Pricing includes delivery throughout Shelby County, pickup, and weight allowances: 10-yard ($449-$599), 15-yard ($549-$649), 20-yard ($599-$749), 30-yard ($699-$899), 40-yard ($799-$1,099). Roofing debris is heavy, so choose appropriate weight allowances.

What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?

Most Memphis residential roof tear-offs require a 20-yard dumpster for 25-30 squares of asphalt shingles. For smaller homes (15-20 squares), a 15-yard works. Multi-layer tear-offs or tile roofs need 30-yard containers due to extreme weight. Always calculate total roofing squares and number of layers before ordering.

How many squares fit in a 20-yard dumpster?

A 20-yard dumpster typically holds 25-30 squares of single-layer asphalt shingles, which is perfect for most Memphis residential roofing projects. However, weight limits matter more than volume for roofing - the 4-ton weight allowance will be reached before the container is visually full with heavy shingles.

What's the weight of asphalt shingles per square?

Standard asphalt shingles weigh 200-300 pounds per square (100 sq ft), while architectural shingles weigh 300-400 pounds per square. In Memphis's climate, older shingles may have absorbed moisture, adding 10-20% more weight. Always factor in underlayment, nails, and debris when calculating total weight.

Can I put tile roofing in a dumpster?

Yes, but tile roofing is extremely heavy at 800-1200 pounds per square. Memphis contractors typically need 30-40 yard dumpsters for tile removal projects, even on smaller roofs, due to weight constraints. Clay and concrete tiles are accepted at all Shelby County disposal facilities.

How do I calculate roofing debris weight?

Calculate total roofing squares (length × width ÷ 100), multiply by material weight per square, add 200 lbs per square for each additional layer, plus 50 lbs per square for underlayment. Example: 30 squares of architectural shingles = 30 × 350 lbs = 10,500 lbs (5.25 tons). Choose dumpster size based on total weight calculation.

Do I need a permit for a roofing dumpster in Memphis?

No permit required for driveway placement in Memphis. If the dumpster must be placed on a public street or blocks sidewalk access, you'll need a permit from Memphis Public Works. Most roofing contractors place containers in driveways or on private property to avoid permit requirements.

What roofing materials are NOT allowed in a dumpster?

Prohibited roofing materials include asbestos shingles, lead paint chips, liquid roof coatings, solvents, refrigerant lines, and hazardous chemicals. Solar panels, HVAC equipment, and electrical components should be removed separately. When in doubt about older roofing materials in Memphis homes, call for guidance.

How quickly can you deliver a roofing dumpster in Memphis?

Same-day roofing dumpster delivery is available throughout Memphis and Shelby County for orders placed by noon. We understand roofing contractors work around weather windows, so we prioritize urgent deliveries for tear-off projects when conditions are favorable.

Can I mix roofing debris with other construction materials?

Best practice is to keep roofing materials separate from other construction debris. Mixed loads often result in higher disposal fees and complicate recycling efforts. However, small amounts of fascia boards, gutters, and related roofing components can typically be included with shingle loads.

What happens if my roofing debris exceeds the weight limit?

Overage charges apply at $65-$95 per ton for weight exceeding included allowances. Roofing debris is consistently heavier than estimated, so Memphis contractors often choose larger dumpsters or account for overage fees in their project budgets. We weigh at certified scales and provide documentation.

How does Memphis weather affect roofing dumpster rentals?

Memphis weather creates unique challenges - high humidity can make roofing materials heavier, storm seasons create urgent tear-off needs, and extreme heat affects working conditions. We provide priority delivery during favorable weather windows and extended rentals during weather delays.

Do you offer contractor accounts for Memphis roofers?

Yes, we offer contractor account programs with net payment terms, volume discounts, priority scheduling, and dedicated customer service for established Memphis roofing contractors. Account setup includes credit application and requires contractor licensing verification.

Can I get multiple roofing dumpsters for large projects?

Absolutely. Large Memphis roofing projects often require multiple containers - we can deliver sequentially as you fill each one, or place multiple containers simultaneously for multi-crew operations. Coordination with project timelines and site logistics is included in our service.

What areas of Memphis do you serve for roofing dumpsters?

We serve all of Memphis and Shelby County including Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Millington, Lakeland, Arlington, and surrounding areas. Our drivers are familiar with Memphis neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and access challenges common to roofing job sites throughout the region.

How do I prepare my Memphis job site for dumpster delivery?

Ensure 14 feet of width for delivery truck access, remove vehicles from delivery area, check for overhead power lines (minimum 20 feet clearance), and choose placement location that won't interfere with ladder placement or roofing crew workflow. Our drivers can advise on optimal positioning.

What's included in Memphis roofing dumpster rental pricing?

All pricing includes delivery to your Memphis job site, pickup after your project completion, disposal fees at approved Shelby County facilities, specified weight allowances, and standard 7-day rental period. Additional days, overage fees, and permit assistance available as needed.

Can you work around HOA requirements in Memphis subdivisions?

Yes, we regularly work in deed-restricted communities throughout Memphis including Germantown, Collierville, and East Memphis. We can coordinate delivery times, dumpster placement, and pickup schedules to comply with homeowners association requirements and minimize disruption to neighbors.

Do you provide emergency roofing dumpster service in Memphis?

Yes, we provide emergency dumpster delivery for storm damage, insurance claims, and urgent roofing repairs throughout Memphis. Same-day and next-day delivery available for emergency situations, including hurricane damage, tornado damage, and severe weather roof failures.

How far in advance should I schedule roofing dumpster delivery?

For planned roofing projects in Memphis, schedule 2-3 days in advance to ensure availability. During peak roofing seasons (spring and fall) or after major storms, schedule further ahead. Emergency and same-day delivery available when fleet capacity allows.

What makes your service different for Memphis roofers?

We specialize in roofing contractor needs - realistic weight allowances for heavy shingles, same-day delivery for weather-dependent schedules, expert advice on dumpster sizing based on roofing squares, job site placement expertise, and understanding of Memphis building codes and permitting requirements.
