Right-size for shingle weight
Asphalt shingles are dense. We calculate yardage by roof square so you don't blow the weight limit or pay overage.
Delivered before tear-off
Your trailer is on site and placed before the first shingle comes off — no debris piled on the driveway or lawn.
Fast haul after the re-roof
Job done, trailer gone. We haul the same day or next morning so the homeowner's property is clean.
Driveway-safe placement
Our towable trailers are easy on driveways and landscaping on residential re-roofs.

Straight answers for roofers renting dumpsters in Metro Detroit.
What size dumpster trailer do I need for a shingle tear-off?
A common rule: one 14 yard trailer per 1,500–2,000 square feet of single-layer asphalt shingles. For double-layer tear-offs or larger roofs, a 16 or 20 yard trailer is typical. Share your roof squares and number of layers and we'll size it precisely.
Can you deliver the morning of the re-roof?
Yes. We time delivery to your crew's start so the trailer is in place before tear-off begins. Across Metro Detroit we can often deliver same-day or early morning — just confirm the schedule with dispatch the day before.
How heavy are asphalt shingles in a dumpster trailer?
Asphalt shingles run roughly 250–400 lbs per square, so a full tear-off can approach weight limits quickly. We account for this in sizing and route heavy loads to facilities that accept roofing debris, helping you avoid overweight fees.
Do you place trailers on driveways without damage?
Yes. Our towable dumpster trailers are designed for driveway-safe placement on residential properties — important on Metro Detroit homes with concrete or paver drives.
How quickly can you haul the trailer after the roof is done?
We aim for same-day or next-morning pickup once you notify dispatch. A prompt haul keeps the homeowner's property clear and lets you close out the job cleanly.
