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.
Suggested Starting Size
A common starting point for this project is 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 the provider's loading rules.
