Roofing Dumpster Rental in Katy, TX

Placement that saves your crew a hundred trips across the yard, and sizing that accounts for what Texas roofing actually weighs.

Roll-off container collecting debris at a two-storey framing job in Katy, Texas

Roofing is the job where sizing goes wrong most often, and it is always for the same reason: people size by how the pile looks rather than what it weighs. A square of architectural asphalt shingle runs roughly 250 to 400 pounds, and a second layer doubles it. A container that looks half full can already be at its weight allowance.

The other half of roofing work is placement. A tear-off crew moving debris thirty feet further than necessary loses hours over a day. We put the container where the material is actually coming off — tight to the drip line on the tear-off elevation, doors facing the approach.

What Texas roofs put in the container

west Houston roofing splits into three groups and each one changes the sizing answer. Three-tab and architectural asphalt shingle dominates the 1980s-onwards subdivisions — Katy, Cinco Ranch and most of the county subdivisions. Metal panel roofing is common on the 1990s and 2000s stock in West Katy, Bear Creek, Brookshire and the higher-end vacation communities, and it is dramatically heavier per square. Metal is increasingly common on newer builds and is light but bulky.

Texas also means storm work. After a named storm, roofing volume across Harris County spikes and every hauler is at capacity within days. If you are a roofing contractor, the single best thing you can do is set up a standing arrangement with us before the season rather than calling on the Monday after landfall alongside everybody else.

What goes in — and what cannot

Accepted material

  • Asphalt shingle — three-tab and architectural
  • Metal panel and standing seam
  • Underlayment, felt and synthetic membrane
  • Metal roofing panels and flashing
  • Roof decking and rotten sheathing
  • Ridge vents, boots and pipe collars
  • Fascia, soffit and drip edge
  • Nails, staples and fastener debris

Never accepted

  • Any roofing suspected of containing asbestos
  • Liquid roof coatings, tar and adhesives in liquid form
  • Propane torches and cylinders
  • Solvent-based cleaners
  • Solar panels without prior notice
  • Batteries from roof-mounted equipment
  • Wet insulation contaminated with mould at volume without notice
  • General household waste mixed in

If you are unsure, ask before you load it. Prohibited material found in a load costs far more to deal with after the fact than a thirty-second phone call costs now. Harris County runs household chemical and white goods drop-off at the the Grand Parkway site for most of what we cannot take.

Sizing this job

20 yard for a typical shingle tear-off up to about 30 squares; size up for metal, which is light but very bulky.

    Tell us what you're clearing and where you are. Adriana Vasquez or a dispatcher will size it with you in about three minutes — no forms, no waiting on an email quote.

  2. 2

    Lock in a flat rate

    You get one number that covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. We tell you the overage rate up front so nothing lands on your invoice later.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Load to the fill line, call when you're done, and we pull it. Most loads run to a permitted Type IV construction and demolition landfill in the Houston region, where recoverable material is pulled out first.

Answers

Roofing Dumpster Rental — common questions

What size do I need for a roof tear-off?
For asphalt shingle, a rough guide is a 20 yard for up to about 30 squares of a single layer. Add a second layer and you are into a 30 yard or a swap. For metal panel, size up rather than down — it weighs very little, but the panels are long and full of air, so you run out of volume long before you trouble the weight allowance. The full sizing walkthrough is here.
Can you put the container right against the house?
As close as the truck can safely place it, yes. Tell us which elevation you are tearing off and we will position accordingly. The limit is usually overhead: the truck bed needs roughly 22 feet of clearance to tip, so eaves, power drops and trees dictate the final spot.
Will roofing debris damage my driveway?
The container might if it is not protected; the debris will not. Boards go down as standard. Worth knowing separately: tear-offs shed an enormous quantity of nails, so a magnet sweep of the drive at the end of the job is well worth the twenty minutes.
Can I have it delivered on a Saturday?
Yes. Saturday morning delivery is available across most of our service area, which suits homeowners doing their own tear-off over a weekend.
Is a second layer of shingle really that much heavier?
It roughly doubles the weight, and that is what catches people out. If you know or suspect there are two layers, say so when you book and we will size for it.
