Roofing Dumpster Rental across the Marietta area
Asphalt shingles are one of the densest materials a roll-off ever holds, which is exactly why roofing jobs get their own service rather than sharing a generic bin size chart with a garage cleanout. A modest 2,200-square-foot roof can put two to three tons of tear-off debris on the ground once you count old shingles, felt paper, and the nails and flashing that come off with them — weight that fills a container's tonnage allowance long before it looks full to the eye.
We deliver roofing dumpsters across Marietta and the rest of Cobb County, plus Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs, Austell, Mableton, Vinings, and Fair Oaks, and out to Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs in Cherokee County, Dallas and Hiram in Paulding County, Cartersville in Bartow County, and Douglasville in Douglas County. Roofing crews working a driveway on a tight residential lot or a low-slope commercial building near the Square both call us for the same reason: get the tear-off container placed correctly the first time and sized for weight, not just volume.
North Georgia's Piedmont climate is part of why this is one of our busiest calls. Winter ice storms crack and lift shingles that were already near the end of their service life, and the severe thunderstorm line that comes through most spring seasons finishes the job with wind-driven hail and gust damage. Both patterns tend to generate a wave of roofing calls at the same time, so if you're planning a re-roof after a storm, booking early in that window helps lock in delivery timing.

What goes in a roofing dumpster
Asphalt shingles, wood shakes, tile, felt underlayment, tar paper, roofing nails, flashing, and the plywood decking sections that get replaced during a tear-off all belong in a roofing container. This is a heavy-debris load by nature, so the container is chosen around the weight allowance for its size rather than how much open space is left on top — a 20-yard roll-off that looks half full of shingles can already be at its tonnage limit.
Because roofing debris is dense, we ask that shingles and old decking stay separate from unrelated construction waste whenever possible. Mixing in wet lumber, old carpet, or masonry debris from an unrelated part of the job pushes the load over its allowance faster and can turn one container into two. If your project also includes gutter replacement or fascia work, that debris is fine in the same container — it's the unrelated heavy materials, like concrete or dirt, that need their own separate load.
What's not allowed
Roofing dumpsters are not the place for hazardous materials — no roofing tar buckets, solvent-based adhesives, or old paint cans should go in with the tear-off debris. Asbestos-containing roofing materials, which show up in some pre-1980s installations, need a licensed abatement contractor and cannot go into a standard roll-off; if you're not sure what's under an older roof, ask before the tear-off starts.
Skip anything electrical, like old solar panel mounts with intact wiring, and any appliances or HVAC equipment removed during the same project — those go through separate disposal channels. If your job also generates yard debris, like tree limbs cut back to access a roofline, that's a different waste stream from shingles and is better handled as its own load or booked as a yard waste container.
How sizing works for roofing jobs
Most single-family re-roofs in the Marietta area run in a 10 or 15 yard container, sized by square footage of roof and number of existing layers being torn off — a tear-off removing two layers of shingles generates roughly twice the tonnage of a single-layer strip. Larger homes, steep-pitch roofs that shed more waste, or multi-building commercial re-roofs often call for a 20-yard, and very large commercial jobs sometimes run two containers back to back with a swap mid-project.
Tell us the approximate roof square footage and whether it's a single or multi-layer tear-off when you call, and we'll size the container to the weight allowance that actually matches the job. That's a more reliable method than guessing by volume alone, since a full container of shingles and a full container of insulation weigh very different amounts.
Driveway access and placement for roofing jobs
Roofing tear-offs move fast once they start, so placement matters as much as size. We set the container as close to the base of the tear-off chute or ladder as the driveway allows, keeping it clear of the roofline's drop zone so debris lands where the crew wants it, not against a bumper. On sloped driveways or lots with limited turnaround room, we plan the drop position on the call so the truck isn't maneuvering blind on delivery day.
If your Marietta or Cobb County neighborhood has an HOA with exterior-appearance rules, a short-duration roofing container almost always falls under standard construction-activity allowances — but it's worth a quick check with your HOA if the project runs more than a few days, since some communities ask that containers not sit visible from the street for extended periods.
Suitability
Is roofing dumpster rental the right call?
The fastest way to get this right is to check the load against both lists before you book.
Good fits for this container
- Asphalt shingle tear-offs, single or multi-layer
- Wood shake and tile roof removal
- Storm-damage re-roofs after ice or hail
- Commercial low-slope roof replacement
- Combined roof and gutter/fascia projects
Send these somewhere else
- Asbestos-containing roofing materials (needs licensed abatement)
- Roofing tar, adhesive, or paint containers (hazardous waste)
- Standalone tree or yard debris (book yard waste removal instead)
- HVAC or solar equipment removal (separate disposal channel)
Roofing Dumpster Rental — the Marietta-area specifics
Roofing calls spike after both of the Piedmont region's predictable weather events: winter ice storms that crack aging shingles, and the spring severe-thunderstorm line that brings wind and hail. If your roof was damaged in one of those events, calling early in that season's rush window helps you get a delivery date that matches your contractor's schedule rather than settling for whatever's left.
Across Marietta's older in-town neighborhoods near the Square, driveways can be narrower and closer to the street than in newer Cobb County subdivisions — tell us the driveway width and any low-hanging power lines or tree canopy when you book so we bring the right truck angle on delivery day. In Paulding County's newer developments around Dallas and Hiram, new-construction roofs sometimes run alongside active builder work, and we can coordinate container placement with an already-scheduled construction dumpster on the same site.

Answers
Roofing Dumpster Rental — your questions answered
How big a dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?
It depends on square footage and how many layers of shingles are coming off, since shingles are dense and fill the weight allowance before the volume looks full. Most single-family re-roofs in the Marietta area run in a 10 or 15 yard container; call with your roof's approximate square footage and we'll size it correctly.
Can I mix shingles with other construction debris?
Roofing debris like shingles, felt paper, and old decking can share a container, but unrelated heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, or masonry should go in a separate load since they'll push the weight allowance past its limit fast. Ask us when you book if you're not sure whether your other debris should be combined or separated.
What if the roof has multiple layers of old shingles?
Multi-layer tear-offs generate significantly more tonnage than a single-layer strip, so let us know the layer count when you call — it's the single biggest factor in getting the right size the first time instead of needing a second container mid-job.
Do I need a permit for a roofing dumpster in Cobb County?
A short-term roofing container placed entirely on your own driveway typically doesn't require a separate permit, but placement on a public street does. If your project is HOA-governed, a quick check on exterior-appearance rules for extended-duration containers is worth doing before delivery.
How fast can you deliver after a storm?
Calls placed early in the morning during ice-storm or severe-thunderstorm response windows have the best shot at same-day delivery; the busiest stretch is the first week or two after a widespread weather event when roofing crews across Cobb and the surrounding counties are all booking at once.
What if I find damaged decking under the shingles?
Old plywood decking removed during the tear-off is fine in the same roofing container as the shingles. If the decking shows signs of long-term water damage or mold, mention it when you call so we can flag any handling considerations.
