Do you have a roofing renovation or retrofit on the the horizon? Dealing with old roofing shingles can be quite the hassle, but there is one surefire way to better manage removal and subsequent disposal – rent a dumpster. If you’re in the Greater Winnipeg area then Affordable Bins is the only way to go. Here’s why.

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Affordable Bins When Removing and Disposing of Old Roofing Shingles

1. We Drop-off and Position the Dumpster for Quick and Easy Collection

Affordable Bins will drop your dumpster/s off exactly where you need us to. We have the vehicles and craning systems necessary to cover rough terrain and place your receptacles in the most convenient spot possible for you and/or your construction crew. Once shingles have been removed via a shingle shovel they can be tossed down to the bin/s below. This will speed up the process and free up time to complete the job in a more efficient manner.

2. The Sizes You Need

The bigger the project the more sizes you may need. You can use smaller (3- or 7-cubic yard) bins for certain sections of a building, and step things up with larger (15- or 20-cubic yard bins) for larger roofing areas. 

You can also take advantage of our size variations for sorting. When you removing shingles you may need to separate them for a variety of reasons – some for recycling, some for repurposing, some for re-using, and others for donation. By having a greater number of smaller bins on site you will have a better and more secure way to collect and ultimately transport removed shingles. 

3. The Strength You Need

Traditional receptacles may be damaged when tossing certain types of shingles into them. While asphalt shingles (comprised of fiberglass, asphalt, granules, sealant, and sealant film) remain the dominant roofing option in the Manitoba area certain commercial properties and older estates may have used concrete shingles. Concrete shingles are significantly heavier, and will require the use of a concrete dumpster. Not every bin rental company has a concrete dumpster in their fleet – but we do.

4. For as Long as You Need

Few roofing projects that require shingle removal get completed on time. Weather typically gets in the way of that, but there are a variety of issues (i.e. moss build-up, pest infestation, etc.) that may pop up. This can be an issue when you’ve only “booked” a bin rental for a certain number of days. 

This is not an issue with Affordable Bins. 

If you go over the expected date of completion, there is just a small $5/day cost beyond the initial seven days.

5. We Will Haul it Away for You Too

Once you’ve removed the shingles you want to carryon with the rest of the roofing renovation or retrofit. The last thing you want to do is deal with the removal of the old shingles from the property, especially if you need to take them in for recycling. Once again Affordable Bins comes to the rescue. In addition to dumpster rental we also offer customers/clients with junk removal. We will come and pick up the shingle-filled bins and whisk them away from your sight (and site) so that you can continue on without a hassle. It’s that simple!
