Do you do dumpster swap outs for roofing jobs? Yes, we do. A swap out means we pick up your full dumpster and leave a fresh, empty one right away. Related: Are you licensed and insured? . Roofing tear offs build up a lot of weight fast. One load of asphalt shingles can fill a container long before the job is done. Related: Can I use a dumpster for a moving cleanup? . A swap out keeps the debris pile off the ground and your crew on the roof. You call us, we rotate the container, and the work never stops. What is a dumpster swap out? A swap out is a full for empty container exchange on the same job site. We take the loaded dumpster to the disposal facility and set an empty one in the same spot. Here is what makes a swap out different from a standard rental: No waiting. Your crew does not stop while the container is gone. Same spot. The empty dumpster lands where the full one sat. One call. You reach out when the box is full, and we handle the rest. This is a common setup for busy contractor services jobs that run more than a day. Why do roofing jobs need swap outs? Roofing jobs need swap outs because shingles are heavy and fill a container quickly. A single layer tear off on an average home can fill a smaller roll off on its own. Older homes in Portland and Scarborough often have two or three layers of old shingles. That extra weight means you may fill a dumpster before the tear off is done. A swap out solves that problem. Instead of stopping the job, you get a fresh container and keep pulling shingles off the roof. What size dumpster do you offer for roofing debris? Waste Away offers roll off dumpsters sized for both small and large jobs. The right size depends on your roof size and how many layers you are tearing off. Here is a general guide for matching a dumpster to a roofing job: Dumpster sizing guide for roofing tear offs Job type Typical fit Small single layer tear off Smaller roll off container Larger home or two layer tear off Mid size roll off container Big roof or multi layer tear off Larger roll off, or a swap out partway through Not sure which size fits your job?

Tear off shingles tend to add up quickly across a project. That weight is why a swap out keeps a roofing tear off on schedule instead of stalling when one dumpster fills. How much does a dumpster swap out cost in Portland? Swap out pricing depends on the dumpster size, the debris type, and the disposal weight. Roofing shingles carry weight fees because they are dense and heavy. We give you a clear quote before any container leaves the yard.
