Dumpsters for roofers on Michigan tear-offs
Roll-offs sized from your squares and layers, set where your crew can load them.
Our dumpsters for roofers are sized the way roofers measure a job: squares, layers and shingle type. Blue Sky Disposal is based in Clinton Township, and we deliver roll-off dumpsters for tear-offs across Michigan. Tell the calculator the roof size and how many layers are coming off. It turns that into a 10, 20 or 30-yard recommendation, and your quote shows the price for your address.

How a roofing job works with Blue Sky
- Measure the roof in squares and count the layers coming off. The roofing calculator uses both, plus the shingle type.
- Pick a 10, 20 or 30-yard roll-off. We do not use a 40-yard for normal shingle tear-offs.
- Book online any time, or call 586-412-3762 during office hours. Your quote shows the included weight and the extra-ton rate.
- Every roll-off includes 14 days on site. Extra days are billed per day if the job runs long.
- Keep the load level with the top rail. After pickup, the disposal facility weighs the load.
Why shingle weight matters
Shingles are dense. A dumpster can look half empty and still be close to its weight limit.
The calculator uses about 230 pounds per square for 3-tab asphalt, about 280 for architectural and about 350 for cedar or wood. A second layer doubles both the volume and the weight.
On a large two-layer roof, the estimate can come out heavier than one container should carry. When that happens, the calculator says how many loads the job needs, so you can plan for it before the crew starts.
What goes in a roofing dumpster
Shingles, felt, underlayment and torn-out wood decking are normal roofing debris. Roofing is not on the heavy-material list, so it does not fall under the 10-yard-only rule or the heavy-material deposit.
Paint, oil, chemicals, batteries and tires stay out. Those items are not allowed in any Blue Sky dumpster.
Placement on the job site
Tell us where the dumpster should sit. The truck needs a clear path, and low wires, branches or locked gates can delay delivery.
Boards under the rails are available on request for driveway placement. Street placement can need a city permit, so check with the city before delivery day.
Common questions
What size dumpster do I need for a 30-square roof?
A single-layer tear-off of 26 to 40 squares fits a 20-yard roll-off by the roofing calculator. If two layers are coming off, run the calculator with both layers, since the volume and the weight double.
Do you rent a 40-yard dumpster for roofing?
No. Normal shingle tear-offs are sized at 10, 20 or 30 yards. A 40-yard could hold the volume, but shingles get heavy long before a box that size is full.
Is there a heavy-material deposit on roofing jobs?
No. The refundable deposit applies only to qualifying online 10-yard orders of dirt, soil, concrete, brick, block, masonry or rock. Roofing is sized and priced on its own.
How is overweight handled on a roofing load?
Your quote shows the included weight and the extra-ton rate for that size and address. The disposal facility weighs the load after pickup. Weight above the allowance is billed at the rate on your quote.
