Roofing Dumpster Rental Colorado
Roofing dumpster rental colorado covers shingle tear-offs, underlayment, and old flashing. The bin sits close to the house, and the crew loads it as the roof comes off.
Quick answer
A roofing dumpster is a roll-off bin for tear-off waste: shingles, felt, flashing, and nails. Shingles are heavy, so roofers usually pick a 10-yard or 20-yard bin. Published Colorado prices run from about $300 for a 10-yard bin in Colorado Springs to about $679 for a 20-yard bin on national average.
What roofing dumpster rental colorado covers
Roofing rental covers the waste a tear-off makes. Asphalt shingles, wood shakes, felt underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and nails all fit. The bin sits in the driveway or on the street near the house.
Shingles are the heavy part. One layer from a mid-size roof can weigh 2 to 3 tons. Two layers weigh twice that. The bin size must match the weight, not just the volume.
The rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and a set weight allowance. Most rentals run 7 to 14 days, which covers a standard re-roof with time to spare.
Best jobs for a roofing dumpster
- Asphalt shingle tear-off, one or two layers
- Wood shake removal
- Full re-roof with underlayment out
- Metal roof removal
- Flat roof tear-off, membrane and insulation
- Gutter and fascia replacement with the roof
- Storm damage roof replacement
For a mid-size roof, a 20-yard dumpster is the common pick. For a small roof or a single layer, a 10-yard dumpster works.
Which size fits your roof
| Roof job | Best size |
|---|---|
| Small roof, one layer | 10-yard |
| Mid-size roof, one layer | 20-yard |
| Mid-size roof, two layers | 20-yard plus a second haul, or 30-yard |
| Large roof or full tear-off | 30-yard |
Count the layers before you book. Two layers of shingles weigh about twice one layer. Tell us the roof size and the layer count, and we will confirm the size.
Weight: the roofing trap
Shingles fool people. They look light in a pile, but a full bin of shingles can weigh 4 tons or more. The weight allowance on a 20-yard bin is usually 2 to 4 tons. A full bin of shingles can blow past it.
Overage fees in Colorado typically run $40 to $100 per ton. HBS Trash in Denver charges $75 per ton over the limit. All American Dumpster in Colorado Springs charges $65 per ton. A second small bin is often cheaper than the overage on one big bin.
Keep nails and metal flashing in the bin too. A magnet sweep of the yard after the job is standard practice, but nails still end up in the load. That is fine. Just keep the load level with the top rail.

Where to place a roofing dumpster
Place the bin as close to the house as the truck can reach. A short carry from the roof edge saves the crew hours. The driveway is the usual spot.
Put plywood boards under the rails. Shingle loads are heavy, and boards spread the weight across the driveway. They stop cracks in concrete and ruts in asphalt.
Street placement may need a city permit. In Denver, a street permit comes from Denver DOTI and takes about 5 business days. Check the Colorado permit guide for your city.

When Roofing Dumpster Rental Is Wrong for You
A roofing bin is wrong for mixed remodel debris. Drywall, wood, and tile need a bigger mix. A construction dumpster fits that job better.
It is wrong for concrete or dirt too. Heavy material hits the weight limit fast. A concrete dumpster in a 10-yard dumpster is the right call.
Skip it for a tiny repair. A few shingles do not need a full bin. A 10-yard dumpster handles a small roof job for less. A small bin also costs less than a big one.
