WHY TRIANGLE ROOFERS CHOOSE RED HAWK
Roofing debris is heavy. A single square of asphalt shingles weighs around 250 lbs — and if you’re tearing off multiple layers, that adds up fast. Most roofers get into trouble when they underestimate weight, not volume. Red Hawk helps you get the right size from the start so you don’t eat overage charges at pickup.
We service roofing contractors and homeowners across the Triangle for tear-offs, re-roofs, and full replacement jobs. Our 13-yard handles most standard residential roofs within the weight limit. Two-layer tear-offs and larger commercial roofs typically need a 20-yard or two hauls. When in doubt, call us — we know roofing loads and will steer you right.
Same-day delivery is available for jobs that need a bin fast. We’ll drop it in your driveway with protection boards in place, and schedule pickup around your crew’s completion timeline.

Roofing Jobs Are a Weight Problem, Not Just a Volume Problem
Most dumpster companies talk about size. Experienced roofers know that shingles are a weight game. Asphalt shingles run roughly 250 lbs per square (100 sq ft). A 25-square roof generates around 6,250 lbs of debris — that’s over 3 tons before you account for underlayment, drip edge, and nails. If you’re tearing off layered shingles, double those numbers. Choosing the wrong container — or the wrong company — means overage charges or a container that can’t legally leave the yard.
Red Hawk Dumpsters understands roofing debris. We’ll help you size the right container for your job before we roll the truck.
Weight Calculation Guide for Roofing Jobs
Use this as a field reference: asphalt shingles run ~250 lbs per square (single layer); layered shingles multiply by number of layers — two-layer tear-off is ~500 lbs/square; architectural/dimensional shingles can run 300–400 lbs/square. Add 5–10% for underlayment, nails, and drip edge.
Quick math: a 20-square roof (single layer) is ~5,000 lbs, approaching the 20-yard limit. A 25-square roof (single layer) at ~6,250 lbs exceeds the 30-yard limit — plan a swap-out. A 20-square double-layer tear-off at ~10,000 lbs requires multiple pulls regardless of container size.
Container Size Recommendations by Roof Size
The 13-yard ($245/day, 2-ton limit) is best for roofs up to 15 squares (single layer), small residential re-roofs, garage roofs, and shed roofs. The 20-yard ($285/day, 2.5-ton limit) handles 15–22 squares (single layer) for average residential roofs loaded to 80% capacity by weight. The 30-yard ($395/day, 3-ton limit) suits larger roofs — but remember the 3-ton limit means it’s best for lighter shingles or combined with non-roofing debris.
For any roof over 25 squares or any double-layer tear-off, plan for two pulls. Call (919) 823-4295 to schedule.
The Double-Layer Callout Every Roofer Should Know
This catches people every time. A single-layer 20-square roof is a manageable 5,000 lbs. That same roof with two existing layers is 10,000 lbs — nearly double the weight limit of our largest container. Layered shingles are the most common cause of roofing overage charges in the industry. Before you book, count your layers. It takes 30 seconds and saves you a significant overage charge.
