Roofing tear-offs are an explicitly weight-first request. While shingle loads technically fall under construction debris, asphalt shingles are so dense that they dictate their own separate container limits.
Scope & Exclusions
Visible empty space in a shingle container does not indicate remaining weight capacity. Asphalt shingles are dense enough to reach the truck's legal hauling weight limit well below the container rim. Always specify "roofing" or "shingles" on the call.
Clean Shingle Loads: Many providers distinguish clean shingle loads (shingles, felt paper, and nails) from mixed debris (flashing, wood, general construction trash). Ask whether your load qualifies and what mixed materials cost.
| Rule / Surcharge | Impact on Request |
|---|---|
| Bi-County Shingle Surcharge | Bi-County's fee schedule lists a $100 surcharge on shingle trailers of 5 cubic yards and up in the context of noncommercial self-haul loads. Providers factor applicable charges into their own terms. |
| Roof Squares & Layers | Reporting the approximate number of squares and layers helps the provider estimate tonnage. The provider independently determines container size, included weight, and price. |
| Below the Rim Rule | Heavy loads must remain completely below the rim to be safely tarped and legally hauled. |
Cost Drivers & Logistics
The primary cost drivers for a roofing container are included tonnage, overage terms, and any public disposal fees the provider incorporates. Provide the approximate number of roofing squares when you call.
Surface conditions are a provider conversation, not a self-assessment. Ask the provider what surface conditions it requires and what its written policy says about placement on residential driveways.
Frequently Asked Questions
