✅ Why a 14-Yard Dumpster Is Ideal for Roofing Projects
Roof tear-offs generate a lot of debris—especially with asphalt shingles, nails, flashing, tar paper, and even occasional wood rot. While every roofing job varies, most single-layer tear-offs on smaller homes fit perfectly into a 14-yard roll-off dumpster.
📏 Dumpster Specs:
- Holds roughly 4–5 pickup truck loads
- Approx. 12–14 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 4 feet high
- Weight capacity: up to 2 tons (ideal for asphalt shingles)
🔧 Best Suited For:
- Roof replacements up to 25–30 squares (one layer)
- Garage or small structure roofing
- Homes under ~1,600 sq. ft.
- Quick one-day contractor jobs
The compact size also means it can easily fit in driveways, even in tighter urban neighborhoods like downtown Lexington, Chevy Chase, or Ashland Park.
🛑 What Can (and Can’t) Go in a Roofing Dumpster

- Roofing nails and fasteners
- Flashing and drip edge
- Wood scraps (from decking or fascia)
