How Do You Measure Your Roof in Squares?
Ask your roofer for the squares on the estimate. If you are measuring yourself, find the area of each roof section in square feet and add them up. Then divide by 100. Steep roofs have more area than they look from the ground, and dormers, valleys, and porch roofs add more. Add a little extra for waste.
If you send us the squares, the shingle type, and the number of layers, we match the box to the weight. A photo of the roof helps.
How Much Does a Roofing Dumpster Rental Longview TX Cost?
For an affordable roofing dumpster, match the box to your squares so you do not pay for a second haul. A 20 yard costs about $500 to $600 for 7 days, and a 25 yard costs about $600 to $700. The price includes delivery, pickup, 7 days of use, and the tons for the size. A one layer roof of about 25 squares runs $500 to $650.
Here is a worked example. A 30 square roof with one layer weighs about 2.7 to 3.6 tons before felt, nails, and wet weight. A 25 yard with 3.5 tons is the safe pick. A 20 yard would run over, and weight over your tons is billed at about $40 to $100 per ton, based on the landfill scale ticket. With roofing dumpster rental Longview TX, you get the full price before the truck leaves the yard.
One Layer or Two?
Many older roofs have two layers. Tear off both, and the weight doubles. A two layer roof of 25 squares can weigh about 4.5 to 6 tons before felt, nails, and wet weight. That is more than a 25 yard includes. Plan on a 30 or 40 yard, or on two boxes, and tell us how many layers you have. Our sizes guide shows the tons for each box.

Where Can a Roofing Dumpster Go?
A 20 or 25 yard needs a spot about 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. A 30 yard needs about 22 by 8 feet. For roofing dumpster rental Longview TX, the truck needs about 60 feet of straight room and about 23 to 25 feet of clear height. Look up for low limbs and power lines.
For roofing dumpster rental Longview TX, a box fully on your own driveway or yard generally needs no city permit. If it has to go on the street or the sidewalk, ask the City of Longview first. Engineering Services is at 903 237 1362. Your homeowners association may also have rules on where a box can sit and for how long.
What Can’t Go in a Roofing Dumpster?
