Roofing Dumpster Rental in Nashville
Shingles are heavy. A single square of asphalt runs 230–250 lb, which means even a modest re-roof can push a small container past its tonnage. We help you size the box to your bundle count so you get one clean pull instead of a surprise overage.
The math on shingle weight
Rough estimate: 20 squares fits comfortably in a 15 yard with tonnage to spare. 25–30 squares wants a 20 yard. Anything past that, go 30 yard so you're not paying overage on a full second pull. If you're doing a full tear-off with underlayment and old decking, add a size.
Placement matters more on roofing jobs
We drop as close to the eave as your driveway allows so your crew isn't wheelbarrowing shingles across the yard. Tell us which side the tear-off starts on and we'll position the door and orient the box for a straight throw.
Same-day pull when you finish early
Roofing crews move fast. When you're done, call before noon — we'll pull that day so the driveway is clear for the punchlist.
