Roofing dumpster rental in Portland
Need a roll-off dropped fast when the roofer pulls away? We set a container in Portland, haul it back when the tear-off finishes—no waiting, no mess.
Roofing Tear-off Dumpster Sizing by Squares
How big a roll-off do you actually need for a roof tear-off in Portland? The rule is simple: count your squares, and allocate two-thirds of a cubic yard for every asphalt shingle square. Most jobs in Multnomah County fit a 20-yard container; our low-wall roll-off helps manage the tonnage; simply fill, then call us to set a date.
15-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 15 cubic yards
- Fits: 15–20 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Single-layer ranch and bungalow tear-offs
Our 10-yard can fits in a tight driveway and handles shingle weight on a single haul for you.
20-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 20 cubic yards
- Fits: 25–30 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Most two-story residential tear-offs
The 20-Yard Container works as a roofing workhorse because low side walls let crews ground-throw shingles with less scaffolding.
30-Yard Roofing Dumpster
- Capacity: 30 cubic yards
- Fits: 35–45 squares of asphalt shingle
- Best for: Multi-layer tear-offs and small commercial roofs
The 30-yard bin keeps bigger tear-offs on schedule when a second haul-out would stall crew demobilization.
Asphalt Shingle Weight and Tonnage Planning
The three-tab shingle averages 250 pounds; architectural laminate runs closer to 400. A 25-square tear-off lands between three and five tons before underlayment, so the hooklift truck routes a smaller 10-yard dumpster to cap the weight limit on one pickup. How does that translate to a 10-yard? Most roofing projects fit safely inside its walls without risking an overage.
When you mix shingle debris with framing or sheathing offcuts, we route that container to our general C&D debris service. Pure asphalt tear-offs stay on our standard roofing line—we handle the sorting based on exactly what you load.
Driveway Placement for Roofing Crew Workflow
When we set your bin in Portland, our driver will angle the swing-door end toward the starting eave to streamline your roof tear-off container sizing. We place wooden planks under all rollers before the steel touches concrete, ensuring the driveway stays unscarred. You should arrange a six-foot tarp perimeter for a clean nail sweep; for more info, consult this asphalt shingle disposal best practices guide. A properly placed roll-off creates one clear lane for your crew. Call (503) 217-6531.
Drop angle
Rear door toward the roof line
Set the swing-door end facing your eave so that walk-in loading and ground-throw share the exact same path for workers.
Surface protection
Wooden planks under every roller
Loaded shingle weight can gouge concrete; driveway boards stay under the rear rollers for the full rental window.
Sweep zone
Six-foot tarp perimeter
Stage magnetic sweepers on the tarp side so your nail cleanup can run in parallel with the loading.
Tile, Slate, and Metal Roof Tear-off Containers
Concrete tile, natural slate, and standing-seam metal weigh significantly more than standard shingles: they quickly punish a container not built for the load. For these heavy tear-offs, we route a reinforced 30-yard bin with heavier floor plates; we cap the fill volume well below the visual rim to ensure axle weight stays legal. We haul these using a low-wall lowboy for stability. Call us for this or our general construction debris service — (503) 217-6531.
Same-day Pickup for Fast Roof Project Turnover
Tear-offs run tight crews; we route the dispatch so the roll-off swap-out lines up with cleanup, leaving the driveway clear for inspection or roofing dumpster pickup before the homeowner walks the site in Portland.
