Shingles and roofing debris are dense — a stack of old shingles takes up far less room in a bin than it looks like on the roof, but it's heavier per square foot than most other renovation waste. Getting the right bin size on site before the crew starts tearing off the old roof keeps things moving instead of piling up in the yard.
Given how much roofing gets replaced across Barrie and the surrounding area each summer and fall, this is a job we handle constantly. Roofing debris comes down fast once tear-off starts, so we recommend having the bin delivered and positioned before work begins.
For an average single-family roof, the 15-yard bin is the safer choice since shingles are dense and add up quickly. For a smaller roof or partial tear-off, the 10-yard can work — ask us if you're not sure.
Yes, but because roofing material is heavy, it's best to let us know it's a roofing job when you book so we can recommend the right bin size.
As close to the work area as possible, ideally right under where the tear-off is happening, so the crew isn't hauling shingles across the yard.
Same-day delivery is often available — just let us know your start date and we'll get the bin there ahead of the crew.
