Tearing off a roof produces one of the heaviest loads a homeowner or roofer will ever put in a dumpster. Old shingles, underlayment, felt and flashing do not take up much room, but they weigh a lot. Placer Dumpster Rental and Junk Removal delivers 10, 12 and 15 yard dumpsters to driveways across Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln and the rest of South Placer and Sacramento counties, with straightforward pricing that makes the weight easy to plan for.

Why roofing debris needs a little planning
Roofing debris is deceptively heavy. A box can look half empty and still be over its included weight, because shingles are dense. Volume is what you see; weight is what you get billed for. That is why we always talk roofing customers through size and weight before the dumpster arrives.
Every standard rental includes 1 ton of disposal. Anything over that is $110 per additional ton, prorated, so a small overage costs a small amount and you are never charged for a full ton you did not use.
Which size for a roof tear-off?
| Size | Dimensions | First day | Notes for roofing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 10×7×4 ft | $399 | Small patch jobs, a shed or garage roof |
| 12 yard | 12×7×4 ft | $449 | A common choice for a residential roof tear-off |
| 15 yard | 12×7×5 ft | $499 | Larger tear-offs, or a roof combined with other remodel debris |
A 7-day dumpster rental is $599 (10 yard), $649 (12 yard) or $699 (15 yard), with delivery, pick-up and 1 ton of disposal included.
Our size guide recommends the 12 yard for a roof tear-off and the 15 yard when the job is bigger, because a 15 yard gives you more room before extra tonnage charges kick in. If you are unsure, call us with the approximate size of the roof and the number of layers being removed, and we will help you choose.
All prices include delivery, pick-up and 1 ton of disposal. Extra rental days are $50 each; a full 7-day rental is $599 (10 yard), $649 (12 yard) or $699 (15 yard). You can book up to 7 rental days online. Need longer? Call or text (916) 878-0304 for extended-rental pricing.
Multi-day and multi-load roofing jobs
Roofers rarely finish in one afternoon. A full 7-day rental is $599 (10 yard), $649 (12 yard) or $699 (15 yard), so keeping the box for the whole week is easy to budget. If the dumpster fills before the job is done, additional loads are $349 for a 10 yard, $399 for a 12 yard and $449 for a 15 yard, and each additional load includes its own 1 ton.
What can go in a roofing dumpster
Standard dumpsters accept most household and construction debris together, including roofing, wood, drywall, carpet, packaging and general junk. So shingles can share a box with plywood decking you replace, or with other remodel debris.
What does not go in:
- Concrete, dirt, asphalt, gravel, rock or masonry. These belong in our separate concrete and dirt dumpster, and roofing material is never allowed in that heavy-material box.
- Hazardous materials, chemicals, paint, batteries, tires and appliances containing Freon, along with anything else prohibited by California law (see our terms).
Driveway placement and permits
Our dumpsters are about 7 feet wide and 10 to 12 feet long, built for residential driveways. Keeping the box on your own driveway generally means no permit is needed. Street placement can change that, so see our permit rules by city before you plan a curbside drop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?
For most residential roof tear-offs, a 12 yard dumpster is a common choice. For larger roofs, or a roof combined with other remodel debris, choose the 15 yard. Call or text (916) 878-0304 with the roof size and number of layers and we will help you pick.
How much weight is included?
Every standard rental includes 1 ton of disposal. Extra weight is $110 per additional ton, prorated, so you only pay for what you go over.

Yes. Standard dumpsters take most household and construction debris together, including roofing, wood, drywall and carpet. Concrete, dirt, asphalt, gravel, rock and masonry are not allowed in standard dumpsters.
What if my roofing dumpster fills before the job is done?
Order another load. Additional loads are $349 for a 10 yard, $399 for a 12 yard and $449 for a 15 yard, and each includes its own 1 ton.
