When you’re taking on a roofing project—whether it’s a simple repair or a full tear-off—one thing becomes clear fast: the waste adds up quickly. Old shingles, nails, underlayment, and flashing don’t just make a mess—they can create safety hazards if not managed properly.

That’s where a roll-off dumpster from Red Star Roll-Off makes all the difference.

Why Roofing Projects Generate So Much Waste

Roofing materials are heavy, bulky, and often contain sharp edges. On average, a 2,000-square-foot roof can generate over 3,000 pounds of debris.

Without a solid waste management plan, you risk cluttering your worksite, injuring workers, and slowing progress.

Key Roofing Materials That Belong in the Dumpster

Here are just a few items that go straight from the rooftop into the dumpster:

• Asphalt shingles – heavy and gritty, they pile up fast

• Roofing nails – small but sharp, posing risks for tires and feet

• Underlayment and felt – torn sheets that need proper disposal

• Flashing and drip edge – metal scraps that are not landfill-friendly

• Wood or plywood decking (if replaced) – often bulky and splintered

A dumpster keeps all of these materials contained, secure, and out of the way.

Safety First: Preventing Injuries and Job Site Hazards

Roofing debris scattered across the ground isn’t just messy—it’s dangerous.

• Nails can puncture tires or injure feet

• Shingles become slippery trip hazards

• Metal scraps can cut or puncture skin

Placing a roll-off dumpster close to your work zone helps crews easily toss materials off the roof and into the bin, keeping the ground clear and safe.
