Shingle Tear Off Disposal in Carrboro, NC
Roofing debris is sized by weight, and roofers get this wrong more often than homeowners do.
One square of asphalt shingle, meaning a 10 by 10 foot section, runs about 250 pounds for three-tab and closer to 400 for architectural. Two layers doubles it. So a 28 square roof with two layers is roughly five tons on the ground before anyone counts the felt, the flashing and the rotten decking that always turns up.
Rough guide: up to about 15 squares fits a 10 yard, most single-layer residential roofs land in a 20, and anything with multiple layers or a large footprint needs a 30 with the weight discussed before the crew starts rather than after.
Placement decides how fast the tear-off goes. The container wants to sit tight against the eave the crew is stripping first, so shingles go over the side instead of being barrowed across the lawn. Tell us which slope you are starting on and we will set it there. On a two-storey with limited yard access, we will sometimes recommend a smaller container swapped twice over a bigger one that cannot get close enough to matter.
Rotten decking, felt and old flashing all ride along fine. Nails and skip trays do not need separating.
