Calculate Your Roofing Needs

To rent a dumpster with Roll Offs of Des Moines, we charge a rate per ton, and nine squares normally weigh one ton. One square for your roof will be 10’x10’, which is three bundles of shingles. Each bundle will weigh about 70 pounds.

(# of sq. X layers) / 9 = # of tons

Other things to keep in mind

  • Wood shake shingles take more volume and weigh less. Remember in choosing size to leave room if you are also replacing the plywood.
  • 100 sq. is equivalent to the max weight for compliance to DOT restrictions.
