Your three-part project check
Give the team a roofing description, not just a bin size
Tell the team whether the work is a repair or a full tear-off, the roof size if known, and whether multiple existing layers are being removed. Mention wood, flashing, packaging and other materials separately. The roofer can help describe the expected waste without relying on an internet estimate of its weight.
Do not assume a 20-yard bin may be filled to the rim with shingles. A real 20-yard option is available to discuss, but its usable loading limit for your approved material needs confirmation. More empty space does not automatically mean more allowable weight.
Agree the position with the roofer and delivery team
Choose a private-property position that the truck can reach and collect from, while leaving workable access for the roofing crew. Include photographs of slopes, parked vehicles and overhead restrictions. Discuss surface protection and the loading arrangement before the tear-off starts, not after debris is already on the driveway.
Keep delivery and collection timing coordinated with the contractor. Weather or newly discovered repairs can change the job. Ask about revised dates or any extension terms rather than assuming the bin can stay longer without a new agreement.
- Name the roofing material and any mixed debris.
- Confirm the permitted loading level and weight terms.
- Agree delivery, planned collection and truck access.
- Tell the team before adding material outside the original scope.
Use the right disposal route
Durham's waste by-law excludes shingles and other construction or renovation waste from regular curbside garbage. Do not use household collection as a fallback for a tear-off pile. Materials suspected of containing asbestos also require specialist assessment; they must not be treated as ordinary roofing waste.
Health Canada advises homeowners to avoid disturbing suspected asbestos-containing material themselves. Discuss unfamiliar or older roofing materials with the contractor before removal. This rental service does not advertise asbestos handling or specialist abatement.
Keep the price and the loading work clear
The published customer-loaded rental package is $563.87 CAD including HST for the 1 ton minimum, seven days, delivery, pickup and fuel. Each additional ton is $226 including HST. Confirm the appropriate roofing-bin quote and loading restrictions. These figures do not include roof work or promise a particular 20-yard package.

Quick answers
Can I book a bin for roofing shingles?
Yes, roofing-related disposal is offered. The team must confirm the shingle material, quantity, suitable bin and loading limit for the specific project.
Is a 20-yard bin always the right choice for roofing?
No. Bin size alone does not establish safe loading weight. Ask for a recommendation based on the actual roofing materials and scope.
