Demolition Time!
August 14th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental TeamIf you are taking advantage of the last of the summer months by undertaking building additions, renovations or removals, you will be looking at ways to rid yourself of all the debris.
Hiring a Dumpster or Roll Off Container will be at the top of your “To Do” List.
What sort of Dumpster do you hire? Your choice of dumpsters includes:
Household Waste (which can be filled with light general waste from a clean up around the house), Stump and Brush (which is self explanatory) , Clean Concrete (strictly only for concrete) or Clean Construction Debris.
Clean Construction Debris is the correct dumpster for your job. You are able to put all your old wood, plaster, insulation, styrofoam, tiles, ceramics sheet rock and drywall in this receptacle.
What about Roofing Tiles/Shingles? The asphalt shingle is the most common type of roofing material used in both new home construction and re-roofing (up to 60% of the residential roofing market) you may be surprised at the weight of asphalt shingles. Even the cheapest grades of shingles weigh around 225 pounds per square (100 square feet) e.g.12 squares of roof area should weigh about 5400 pounds. That’s almost 3 tons! Haulers find that a dumpster full of shingles is very difficult to move; hence they request that you do not dispose of them in their dumpsters.
If you have shingles to dispose of the best thing to do is to contact your local county office and ask them what they suggest. Each county is different and they may have a recycling option available for you to take advantage of.
