Cape Girardeau’s Local Waste Experts
Roofing Dumpster Rental in Cape Girardeau, MO
Roofing bins get sized by weight, not volume, and companies that skip that math hand their customers overage bills. Here’s the real arithmetic, plus flat rates: the 15 yard at $375 with 2.5 tons included handles a typical Cape ranch tear-off.

The Shingle Math Nobody Shows You
| Material | Weight per Square | What 2.5 Tons Covers | What 3 Tons Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-tab shingles | 230 to 250 lbs | 25 to 30 squares | 30 to 35 squares |
| Architectural shingles | 400 to 430 lbs | 15 to 18 squares | 18 to 21 squares |
| Two-layer tear-off | Add both layers | Half the squares | Half the squares |
Why Wet Tear-Offs Cost More
Shingles drink water. A roof torn off the day after rain can weigh 10 to 15 percent more than the same roof dry, and old felt underlayment holds water too. If storms are moving through, tarp the bin overnight. It’s the cheapest overage insurance there is. And here’s an opinion from the scale tickets: tear off in the morning, load by afternoon, and never let a full roofing bin sit open through a thunderstorm.
Storm and Hail Season Reality
Spring hail runs March through May here, and when it hits, every roofer in the county mobilizes the same week. Bins book out fast. Order the container when you order the shingles, not the night before tear-off. After the big storms we also stage swap-outs for crews running multiple houses on one street, which happens more than you’d think in the Jackson subdivisions.

Roofing Questions
Can shingles and other debris mix in one bin?
Yes, mixed loads are fine. Just know shingles set the weight budget, so a tear-off plus gutter and fascia scrap should size up, not down. Tell us everything going in and the quote covers it.
What about the old felt and nails?
All of it goes in: felt, flashing, drip edge, nails. Magnet-sweep the lawn afterward anyway, because the customer’s tires will find whatever you missed.
What does going over weight cost?
$95 per ton, pro-rated off the scale ticket you get to see. Half a ton over is about $48. With the square math above, most crews never touch it.
