Maryland & DC
Roofing Tear-Off Dumpsters
A tear-off moves quickly and shingles are heavy. We place the container as close to the eaves as the site allows, so your crew can throw straight in.
About this service
Stripping a roof leaves a heavy mix of shingles, felt, nails and old flashing. Our specialized dumpsters are designed to handle these materials, providing a convenient solution for disposal. We help ensure that your project stays on schedule and that debris is contained properly, preventing hazards and maintaining a tidy property. This service is ideal for both professional roofers and homeowners undertaking DIY roof replacements.
Selecting the right dumpster for your roofing project is crucial for effective waste management. Our team assists in determining the appropriate size based on your roof's dimensions and material type, whether it's asphalt shingles, wood shakes, or slate. We deliver the container directly to your site, making the disposal process straightforward. Once filled, we promptly remove the dumpster, ensuring all roofing debris is transported for proper processing, adhering to local waste regulations.
In Maryland and DC
In Maryland and the DC area, roofing tear-offs often involve homes ranging from 1960s Belair split-levels to modern subdivisions, each with unique site access. Navigating local regulations for dumpster placement, especially in areas like Washington DC where DDOT permits are required for street placement, or in HOA-governed communities in Bowie or Columbia, is essential. Our service considers these regional specifics, ensuring proper placement whether on a driveway or permitted public space. We understand the composition of local homes, from older structures potentially containing asbestos or lead paint (requiring separate handling) to newer builds, and manage debris accordingly.
Choices
Your options
10-Yard Roll-Off
Suitable for smaller roofing jobs, like shed roofs or a single-layer tear-off on a compact home. This size is manageable for tight spaces, including some DC alley-accessed properties, while still handling heavy shingle loads effectively.
20-Yard Roll-Off
A versatile option for most residential roof replacements, including split-levels or ramblers common in Bowie and Upper Marlboro. It accommodates a significant volume of shingles and underlayment from an average-sized home.
30-Yard Roll-Off
Ideal for larger roofing projects, such as multi-layer tear-offs on bigger homes or commercial properties. This container provides ample space for extensive debris, reducing the need for multiple hauls on substantial jobs.
Surface Protection
We provide boards to place under the dumpster, safeguarding driveways, lawns, and new asphalt surfaces from potential marks or damage. This is especially important for properties with sensitive landscaping or recently installed paving.

Questions
More on roofing tear-off dumpsters
Which roofing materials can go in?
You can place asphalt shingles, wood shakes, slate, underlayment, flashing, nails, and other non-hazardous construction debris directly related to roof removal. It is important to separate items like paint, solvents, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerants, as these require specialized disposal methods.
How do I know what size dumpster I need for my roof?
The appropriate dumpster size depends on the square footage of your roof and the number of shingle layers being removed. Our team can help you assess your project's scale and recommend the most suitable container, preventing issues like overfilling or needing an additional haul.
Can the dumpster be placed on the street in front of my house?
Street placement depends on local regulations. In Washington DC, a public space permit from DDOT is typically required. In Prince George's County and many Maryland towns, permits may also be necessary. A driveway placement is often simpler and avoids permit requirements, but we can advise on options.
What precautions are taken to protect my property during delivery and pick-up?
We use protective boards placed under the dumpster to prevent marks or damage to your driveway, lawn, or other surfaces. This is particularly important for soft ground, new asphalt, or when heavy loads are involved, ensuring your property remains in good condition.
