Roofing Projects
A typical Harrisburg roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Pennsylvaniacan add $75–$150 per extra ton.
Kitchen Remodels
Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Harrisburg. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.
