New York Roofing Material Considerations
New York's diverse architecture includes everything from historic brownstones with slate roofs to modern high-rises with membrane systems. Our roofing dumpsters accommodate all material types common in the five boroughs.
Climate Impact: New York's freeze-thaw cycles create unique disposal challenges. Multi-layer tear-offs are common due to ice dam repairs and weather damage. Our containers handle the extra weight from multiple shingle layers typical in harsh winter climates.
