(00) Who we are
Roof Cans is the dumpster company built for roofers. Our two-compartment cans keep shingles separate so they can be recycled into asphalt paving, our prices come with a lowest price guarantee, and 10% of our profits go to breast cancer research.

Built for tear-off day.
From a single re-roof to a full schedule of jobs, we keep the can simple so your crew can keep moving.
(01) The can
One side shingles.Everything elseon the other.
Our split roll-off has a divider built right in. Your crew drops shingles on one side and everything else on the other as they tear off, so there’s no sorting later and the shingles stay clean enough to recycle.

Side A
Shingles & nails
The larger compartment, at the rear doors. Tear-off shingles go here with whatever is still attached to them: the nails and the paper or plastic film on the back. Kept apart from other debris, the load can be processed and reused in asphalt paving.
- Tear-off shingles
- Nails & fasteners
- Shingle backing film
- Starter strips
- Ridge caps
Side B
Everything else
The smaller compartment up front takes the rest of the job, including any extra paper and general waste, so nothing contaminates the shingle load.
- Wood & decking
- Flashing & drip edge
- Underlayment
- Gutters
- Extra paper & waste
Sort as you tear off
Crews toss each load into the right side the first time. Nothing gets re-handled at the end of the day.
Shingles that get a second life
A clean shingle load can be ground up and reused in asphalt paving instead of taking up landfill space.
Made for roofing jobs
We're not a general junk hauler. Roof Cans is the roofer's dumpster, set up around tear-off work.

(03) Shingle recycling
From your roofto the road.
That second compartment isn’t just for neatness. A clean load of shingles is a raw material, and we make sure it gets used like one.

- 4Asphalt pavingReused in the roads you drive on.

Why it works
Asphalt shingles are made from many of the same ingredients as the roads you drive on: asphalt, mineral granules and fiber.
Mixed in with wood, metal and trash, shingles are just more landfill. Kept clean, they can be ground up and blended back into asphalt for paving. The divider in every Roof Cans container is what keeps them clean.
- Shingles kept out of the landfill
- Reused in asphalt paving
- No extra steps for your crew

(07) FAQ
Questions,answered.
Still wondering about something? The fastest answer is a phone call.
1-800-797-1223Side A, the larger compartment at the rear doors, is for asphalt shingles plus what's still attached to them: the nails and the paper or plastic film on the back. Side B, up front, takes everything else from the job: wood and decking, flashing and drip edge, underlayment, gutters, extra paper and general waste. Not sure about something? Just ask us.
Shingles can only be recycled into asphalt paving when they're clean. Once they're mixed in with wood, metal and trash, they're headed for a landfill. The divider keeps them clean without anyone sorting by hand.
