ROOF TEAR-OFF DEBRIS REMOVAL IN PUEBLO: WHAT IT COSTS
Hail season and a hard winter put a lot of Pueblo roofs on the replacement list. Some folks hire a full-service roofer who hauls the old material away. Plenty of others buy the shingles themselves, get a cousin with a nail gun, and then stare at three tons of tear-off sitting in the driveway. That's the call we get.
Shingles Are Heavier Than They Look
A "square" is 100 square feet of roof. Old 3-tab asphalt runs about 230–250 lbs per square. Architectural shingles run 350–400. So a modest 20-square ranch roof with one layer is roughly 2.5 tons of debris — and if there's a second layer under it, double that.
That's the number that catches people. A half-ton pickup is rated for a half ton. A 6x12 rental trailer maxes out well before your roof does. Overloading either one is how you end up with bent leaf springs or a ticket on Highway 50.
What It Runs
Roof debris is priced by weight, not by how much room it takes up, because that's how the landfill bills it. For most single-layer residential tear-offs in Pueblo and Pueblo West, expect somewhere in the $400–$900 range. Two layers, steep pitch, or debris scattered across the yard instead of piled pushes it up. We quote on-site before anything goes in the trailer, and the number doesn't move after.
How We Load It
Two 7-ton dump trailers means most jobs are one trip. If the pile is big or sitting on gravel, we bring the skid steer — same skid steer Pueblo homeowners see us use on concrete and rock jobs. Bucket scoops the bulk, forks handle sheet material and any decking you replaced. We magnet-sweep the drive and the grass for nails before we pull out. That part matters more than the hauling; nails find tires.
While We're There
Most roof jobs come with other things you've been meaning to deal with. We do garage cleanout Pueblo work, yard debris Pueblo pickups, and hot tub removal Pueblo folks put off for years. If it's going on the trailer anyway, adding it now beats scheduling a second visit.
