Quick Answer
For most Knoxville roofing projects, a 30-yard dumpster is the safest choice because shingles are bulky and heavy. Smaller roof tear-offs may fit a 20-yard dumpster, but weight limits matter more than visual space for roofing debris.
Recommended Dumpster Size
For this type of project, we usually recommend a 30-yard dumpster. Smaller or lighter projects may fit a 20-yard dumpster. The right choice depends on volume, material weight, driveway space, and how quickly the project needs to move.
