If you're tearing off a roof, a roofing dumpster rental in Jefferson County starts with our 20-yard, the right size for the job. It sits on a driveway, takes shingles all day, and comes with up to 1 ton of weight built in. Shingles are heavy, so the smart move is to weigh your roof before you book. Flat pricing, and Jason on the phone if you want a hand sizing it.
For most residential roofs, the 20-yard roll-off is exactly what you want. At 15 feet long with 4.25-foot walls, it sits on the driveway close to the house, so your crew is carrying tear-off a short distance, not across the yard. It holds roughly 7 to 8 squares of single-layer asphalt shingles, which covers most homes around Dandridge, Jefferson City, and the lake towns. Bigger roofs or a second layer can run past that, and we will swap the dumpster or size you up front so nobody is guessing on the last dumpster load.
We drop it where you want it, keep it clear of the work, and haul it off when the job wraps. Rolliskates are available to protect the driveway from the dumpster, and we send the scale ticket with your invoice so the weight is never a mystery.
Roofing is one of the few jobs where weight matters more than volume. A single layer of asphalt shingles runs around 250 pounds per square (a square is 100 square feet), so the included ton covers about 7 to 8 squares. A second layer roughly doubles that. Before you book, run your roof's size through our shingle weight calculator. It takes a minute and tells you whether one ton covers your tear-off or you should plan for the overage. The overage is a flat $85 per ton in the core counties, billed off the real scale ticket.
The 20-yard is $375 for 3 days or $475 for a full week, with one ton of weight, pickup, and disposal included. Running several roofs this season? We keep dumpsters moving for contractors, so call it full and we swap it out. See our commercial dumpster rentals for how we work with crews, or the full pricing page for every size.
For most residential roofs, the 20-yard is the right dumpster. It fits on a driveway, loads easily, and holds roughly 7 to 8 squares of single-layer asphalt tear-off. A larger roof or a second layer can push past that, so run your numbers through our shingle weight calculator or call and we will size it with you.
Every rental includes up to 1 ton (2,000 lbs) of weight. Asphalt shingles run heavy, around 250 pounds per square for a single layer, so a ton covers about 7 to 8 squares. A second layer roughly doubles the weight. Over the ton is a flat $85 per ton inside Jefferson, Hamblen, and Cocke County, billed straight from the scale ticket.
