Replacing a roof in Everett creates one major cleanup problem: old shingles are heavy, bulky, and covered in nails.
A few contractor bags will not solve it. Your pickup truck may require multiple trips. And a general waste bin may not be the most cost-effective option.
The better plan is simple:
Estimate your roofing waste.
Choose the correct shingle bin.
Keep shingles separate from other debris.
Load the bin safely and evenly.
Book pickup when the tear-off is complete.
This guide explains how to plan an Everett dumpster rental for a roof replacement, whether you are a homeowner or a local roofer serving Everett, Lisle, Alliston, or Angus.
Start With the Right Type of Bin
Asphalt shingles are dense. They can reach the weight limit of a bin before they fill the available space.
That means volume is only half the calculation. You also need to consider:
Roof size
Number of shingle layers
Type of shingles
Underlayment and roofing accessories
How much other construction waste you will add
Weight-based disposal charges
Use a shingle bin if:
You are removing asphalt shingles only.
Your roof replacement is a dedicated roofing project.
You want the material kept separate from household or construction waste.
You are trying to avoid paying mixed-waste pricing for a clean shingle load.
Use a general construction bin if:
You are removing shingles, plywood decking, drywall, insulation, or cabinets together.
You are adding old gutters, siding, furniture, or renovation debris.
Your roofing project is part of a larger home renovation.
⚠️ Do not mix shingles into an All-In household and construction bin. Shingles are heavy materials and require the correct Regular or specialty arrangement.

Estimate Your Roofing Waste Before You Book
Roofers usually measure roofing work in “squares.”
1 roofing square = 100 square feet of roof area.
A 2,000-square-foot roof equals approximately 20 squares.
Your roof area should include every slope, garage section, porch roof, and other surface being removed.
Use this basic formula
Number of squares × estimated weight per square × number of layers = approximate shingle weight
As a general planning range:
3-tab shingles: approximately 250 pounds per square
Architectural shingles: approximately 350–400 pounds per square
Two shingle layers: roughly double the shingle weight
Example
A 20-square roof with one layer of architectural shingles may create approximately:
20 squares × 400 pounds
8,000 pounds of shingles
Approximately 4 metric tonnes
That is only a rough estimate. Actual weight depends on the shingle product, moisture, tear-off material, and how many layers are present.
⚠️ Shingles are heavy enough to create overweight charges quickly. If you have multiple layers or a large roof, contact Tor Bin Rental before selecting a size.

Specialty shingle rate
For a dedicated shingle load:
10-yard shingles: $200 + $110/tonne

7-day rental
Delivery
Pickup
Disposal for up to 1 metric tonne

⚠️ All-In does not apply to shingles, concrete, brick, asphalt, soil, or other heavy materials.
All rates are starting prices, vary by postal code, include the applicable 5% fuel surcharge, and are subject to H.S.T.
Which Size Fits an Everett Roof?
Use the following as a starting point, not a guaranteed capacity calculation.
Choose the 10-yard shingle bin if:
You are replacing a smaller roof.
You have one layer of asphalt shingles.
The load will be mostly shingles.
You are working on a garage, bungalow section, porch, or partial roof.
The 10-yard shingle rate of $200 + $110/tonne is a practical option when you are keeping the roofing material separate.
Choose a 14-yard bin if:
You have an average-sized single-family roof.
You need room for shingles plus limited roofing debris.
You are removing one layer and want additional volume.
You are combining roofing waste with a controlled amount of approved construction material.
The 14-yard bin measures 8' × 14' × 3.5'.
Choose a 20-yard bin if:
You are completing a large roof replacement.
You are removing multiple layers.
You are handling roofing waste plus substantial renovation debris.
You need more room for wood, drywall, siding, or other approved construction waste.
The 20-yard bin measures 8' × 14' × 5'. Remember that extra volume does not automatically mean extra weight capacity. Confirm the expected tonnage first.
Why Keeping Shingles Separate Matters
Separating shingles is more than an organizational preference.
1. It may reduce disposal costs
A clean shingle load can qualify for the specialty shingle rate. Mixing in furniture, drywall, garbage, or other materials may change how the load is processed and priced.
2. It helps prevent contamination
Shingles can sometimes be directed to specialized processing or recycling streams where available. A clean load is easier to sort and handle than a bin filled with mixed debris.
3. It makes weight easier to track
When the bin contains only roofing material, you can estimate your disposal weight more accurately. Mixed loads make it harder to predict the final charge.
4. It keeps the jobsite organized
A dedicated roofing bin gives your crew one clear destination for tear-off debris. That means fewer piles around the house and less time spent sorting before pickup.
5. It prevents rejected materials
⚠️ Never place paint, chemicals, batteries, propane cylinders, oils, or other hazardous items in the bin. If you are unsure about a material, ask before loading it.
Load the Shingle Bin Safely
Roofing cleanup can create sharp and unstable debris. Follow a controlled loading process.
Before tear-off
Book the bin before the roofing crew arrives.
Clear vehicles, trailers, and tools from the delivery area.
Confirm there is enough room for the truck.
Check for low branches, wires, and other overhead obstacles.
Use tarps to control falling shingles.
Keep children and pets away from the work area.
During tear-off
Drop shingles into the bin whenever possible.
Use roof chutes or tarps if the bin cannot sit directly below the work area.
Move loose debris from the lawn into the bin promptly.
Use a magnetic sweeper to collect stray nails.
Wear gloves, eye protection, sturdy footwear, and appropriate fall protection.
When loading the bin
Spread shingles evenly across the floor.
Avoid creating one heavy pile at one end.
Do not climb into the bin.
Do not compact the load with heavy equipment unless approved.
Keep all material level with or below the top rail.
🚨 NEVER LOAD SHINGLES ABOVE THE TOP OF THE BIN. An overfilled bin may not be safe or legal to transport. You may need to remove excess material before pickup.
