Roofing Debris Weight Guide

Estimate shingle weight before you book a container.

Per square

One square (100 sq ft) of architectural shingles weighs roughly 250 to 400 pounds.

Multiple layers

Each additional layer of shingles adds the same weight again. Check how many layers you are removing.

Suggested sizes

Up to about 15 squares fits a 10 yard; larger roofs typically need a 20 yard.

Stay under the line

Never load roofing above the top rail. Overweight containers can't legally travel on the road.

Recycle

Asphalt shingles can sometimes be recycled into paving material. Ask about clean shingle loads.
