Dumpster Weight Calculators for Common Project Debris

Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, Gilbert

Shingle Weight Calculator

Roofing projects add up fast — especially when you’re replacing heavy asphalt shingles. Use this calculator to estimate how much your roofing debris will weigh before scheduling your dumpster rental.

Concrete & Asphalt Weight Calculator

Concrete, asphalt, dirt, and brick are some of the heaviest materials to haul. Even a few cubic yards can push your dumpster close to its weight limit. Use this calculator to plan for the right dumpster size before demolition day.

Drywall Weight Calculator

Drywall and sheetrock can seem light, but it doesn’t take long for the weight to pile up. Estimate your drywall debris weight to avoid surprise overages and make sure your roll-off dumpster is up for the job.

Carpet Weight Calculator

Old carpet, padding, and underlayment can be bulkier and heavier than expected. Get an approximate weight before you rent your dumpster to ensure you have enough capacity for your flooring removal project.

Why Weight + Dumpster Limits Matter

Every roll-off dumpster has a weight limit. Even if your debris physically fits, heavy materials like shingles, concrete, or dirt can exceed that limit quickly — leading to extra charges.

That’s why estimating your debris weight is so important: it helps you choose the right dumpster size and avoid overweight fees.

If you’re unsure which size is right for your project, call our team — we’ll walk you through the process and recommend the best option for your needs.

How to Use the Dumpster Weight Calculators

  • Select the material type (shingles, drywall, carpet, or concrete).
  • Enter your project measurements (square footage, thickness, or yardage).
  • Click “Calculate” to estimate the debris weight in pounds or tons.
  • Use the result to help you pick your dumpster size — or call us for personalized guidance.

Note: Our calculators are meant for estimation purposes only. Actual debris weights may vary depending on material density and moisture content.
