Smart Weight Management for Shingles
Shingles are heavier than they look—about 200-240 lbs per square. We set clear tonnage allowances to protect your budget and ensure safe transport.
| Dumpster Size | Tonnage Allowance | Approx. Shingle Squares | Potential Overage Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20-Yard | 3 Tons (6,000 lbs) | Up to 25 Squares | Multi-layer roofs or premium shingles may exceed—monitor fill levels to avoid extra charges (**$100+ per ton over**). |
| 30-Yard | 4 Tons (8,000 lbs) | Up to 35 Squares | Larger projects can push limits quickly; we recommend weighing estimates upfront. |
Tip: Distribute debris evenly and avoid compacting too much to stay within limits. Our team can advise on your project's needs.

Roofing Resources: Calculate Your Project Needs
Empower your roofing project with these quick guides to estimate squares, weights, and dumpster sizes accurately.
What is a Roofing Square?
A "square" is 100 square feet of roof surface area. It simplifies material estimates and costs.
How to Calculate Roofing Squares: Step-by-Step
- Identify Roof Planes: Break into flat sections.
- Measure Each Plane: Length × Width in feet = area per plane.
- Sum All Planes: Total sq ft.
- Convert to Squares: Total ÷ 100. Round up.
- Add Waste Factor: +10-15%.
Example: Two 25 ft × 50 ft planes = 2 × 1,250 = 2,500 sq ft → 25 squares. With 10% waste: 27.5 squares.
| Step | Action | Formula/Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measure Plane | 35 ft × 36 ft = 1,260 sq ft |
| 2 | Total Area | 1,260 + 1,260 = 2,520 sq ft |
| 3 | Squares | 2,520 ÷ 100 = 25.2 (round to 26) |
| 4 | With Waste (10%) | 25.2 × 1.10 ≈ 27.7 squares |
Shingle Weight Estimates
Weights vary by type; use **200-240 lbs per square** for planning. Calculate: Squares × Weight per Square × Layers + 10% buffer.
Example: 25 squares, three-tab (230 lbs/sq), two layers = 25 × 230 × 2 = 11,500 lbs (5.75 tons). With buffer: **~6.3 tons.**
| Shingle Type | Weight per Square (lbs) | Weight per Bundle (lbs) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-Tab Asphalt | 190-250 | 50-80 | Lightest common type |
| Architectural Asphalt | 230-430 | 65-80 | Thicker, durable |
| Composite/Rubber | 200-300 | 60-90 | Eco-friendly |
| Wood | 250-400 | 70-100 | Natural variation |
| Clay/Concrete Tile | 600-1,200 | 200-300+ | Very heavy; specialized disposal |
| Slate | 800-1,000 | 300+ | Premium stone |
Dumpster Sizing for Shingles
Focus on weight limits. Steps: Calculate squares → Estimate weight → Match to limits. Overestimate by 10-20%.
Example: 25 squares, two layers, three-tab = 5.75 tons → Needs 40-yard or two 30-yards.
| Dumpster Size | Weight Limit (Tons) | Max Squares (Single Layer) | Max Squares (Two Layers) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard | 1-2 | 8-15 | 4-7 | Small repairs |
| 15-Yard | 2-3 | 15-22 | 8-11 | Medium residential |
| 20-Yard | 2.5-4 | 20-30 | 10-15 | Average home |
| 30-Yard | 3-4.5 | 25-35 | 12-18 | Large residential/commercial |
| 40-Yard | 4-6 | 35-45 | 18-22 | Full commercial |
Tips: Don't exceed 75% full; keep shingle-only; wet shingles add 10-15% weight.
