Roofing Dumpster Rental in New Braunfels, TX
Roofing debris is some of the heaviest material we haul, and getting the size wrong costs more than a bad guess on a normal cleanout. We deliver dumpsters sized for shingle weight, not just roof area, with same day delivery available and swap out service for crews running back to back jobs. Call (830) 381-6680 and tell us your roof size and layer count for an exact quote.
How Many Roofing Squares Fit in a Dumpster?
A roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof area. Standard asphalt shingles run 250 to 300 pounds per square, which is why weight decides the container size long before volume does.
| Container | Single Layer Asphalt | Approx. Weight Limit | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | Up to 12 to 15 squares | 1 to 2 tons | Small roofs, sheds, garages |
| 15 yard | Up to 18 to 20 squares | 1.5 to 2.5 tons | Mid size single story homes |
| 20 yard | Up to 25 to 30 squares | 2 to 3 tons | Most single layer residential roofs |
| 30 yard | Two layer tear offs, larger roofs | 3 to 4 tons | Multi layer or large footprint homes |
A two layer roof roughly doubles the weight, not the square count. If your roof has 20 squares and two layers of asphalt shingles, plan for close to 40 squares worth of weight, which usually pushes a 20 yard job into 30 yard territory. Tell us the layer count when you call so we size it correctly the first time.
Storm Season and Insurance Roof Replacements
New Braunfels sits inside what meteorologists call Hail Alley, the stretch of Central Texas that sees some of the country’s most frequent hail activity. Spring, typically March through June, is peak season, and a single storm can trigger roof replacements across entire neighborhoods at once.
Most insurance funded roof replacements include tear off and disposal as a line item in the contractor’s scope, and that disposal step is where a properly sized dumpster comes in. We are not insurance advisors and cannot speak to your specific policy or claim, but we can tell you this: booking your dumpster as soon as your roofer confirms a start date keeps disposal from becoming the bottleneck on a job that is otherwise ready to go. During peak storm season, when many New Braunfels roofs get replaced within the same few weeks, calling a few days ahead makes a real difference in delivery timing.
Roofing contractors working in Texas are required to hold a license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which is worth checking before hiring a crew after a storm.
Why Roofing Debris Is Different From Other Waste
Shingles do not behave like household trash. They are dense, they arrive in a short burst instead of spread over days, and they need to go somewhere specific on the container.
Our 20 and 30 yard dumpsters have rear swing doors, which let a crew walk debris straight in at ground level instead of throwing everything over a side wall. For a tear off crew working fast, that difference saves real time over the course of a job.
Weight, not volume, is the constraint on nearly every roofing job. A container that looks half empty by eye can already be at its weight limit once shingles are inside. This is the opposite of most residential debris, where the container fills up visually before it hits the weight cap. If you are unsure which way your project leans, call before ordering. A wrong guess on a roofing job usually means a rejected load or an overage fee, not just an inconvenience.
What We Accept From a Roof Tear Off
- Asphalt, architectural, and 3-tab shingles
- Underlayment, tar paper, and felt
- Flashing, drip edge, and gutters removed during the job
- Roof decking and sheathing, when removed
- Nails, staples, and general tear off debris
- Metal roofing panels and cedar shakes, sized appropriately by weight
Wet roofing materials, tar buckets, and any hazardous coatings stay out of the container. If a section of decking is asbestos containing, which shows up occasionally on older Comal County homes, tell us before delivery so we can advise on the right disposal path.
