What Size Dumpster Should a Siding or Roofing Contractor Reserve?

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic this year slowing down springtime construction, autumn has become an extra-busy season for roofing and siding contractors. As you juggle your projects to get them scheduled before winter hits, you not only have to take into consideration the building materials you’ll need, the project duration, and how many crew members to assign to the job, but you’ll also need to find the fastest and most reliable way to remove construction materials and debris from your job site. Your customers expect the finished product to leave their home and yard perfectly clean, and that cleaning-up process alone takes time.

With 52 percent of homeowners who are planning a renovation project choosing autumn to perform the work, any way you can cut back on how long it takes you to complete the project – without cutting corners – means you have the opportunity to finish more projects and earn more money. The easiest way to do that? Hire out a commercial dumpster instead of hauling trash away in your own vehicle or trailer.

“I love cleaning up a job site!” said no one ever. It’s usually the very last step your crew takes to finish a construction project, and by then, they’re ready to move on to the next house or end their workday.

Small Haul Containers will deliver the dumpster you ordered to your job site and pick it up after a week’s time; you don’t need to coordinate the pick-up time, and you don’t have to be present when we deliver or pick up the dumpster, either.

Cleaning up as you go and neatly disposing of old materials means at project completion, your team can simply grab their tools and go. A commercial dumpster rental lets you do that.

Dumpster rentals save you time. Instead of making piles of materials to haul away in your company’s truck and trailer, make one trip to the dumpster and be done with it.

Commercial dumpster rentals for your construction projects can also save you money. Consider the amount of time and mileage you dedicate to hauling construction debris to the local dump – and how much you might have to pay your crew to take on this responsibility. You can build-in the cost of the dumpster to your project cost while decreasing the overhead of your payroll.

The size of dumpster you rent for a roofing project depends greatly on the scope of the work and the size of the roof. If your project involves general roof repair versus an entire replacement, you’ll be able to get by with a much smaller dumpster. We recommend renting a dumpster no smaller than our 10-cubic-yard one.

The biggest concern with roofing materials is their weight. Asphalt or tile shingles are quite heavy, and most small contractor dumpster rentals have a weight limit of one ton, or 2,000 pounds. So that you are not accountable for an overage charge for extra weight, consider our 20-cubic yard, 16-cubic yard, or 13-cubic yard dumpsters, all of which can accommodate two tons in construction waste.

Siding projects also can present a challenge when it comes to renting a dumpster. If you’re removing all the old siding from a home to replace it, you’ll need a fairly large dumpster rental , since pieces of vinyl or steel siding tend to be quite long. With a long dumpster, you’ll need to spend less time breaking pieces of vinyl siding in half – or bending metal.

Our 20-cubic-yard dumpster is 14 feet long, giving you plenty of room to accommodate standard siding lengths of 12 to 12.5 feet. Our 16-cubic-yard dumpster comes in a close second, but because it is exactly 12 feet long, it may provide enough length for disposal of house siding. This large dumpster rental can also hold up to two tons, so you don’t have to worry about going over the weight limit for most siding projects.
