20 yard Megabac dumpster delivered on a Montreal jobsite

Asphalt dumpster rental — 20 yards, sold by weight

Asphalt does not rent like a renovation: weight decides, not volume. One size goes out — the 20 yard, 7 tons included, 12 maximum — filled three quarters at most, never more. And the mix-up to avoid: roofing shingles do not go here — they leave in the mixed dry materials dumpster. Enter your driveway's dimensions below: the tool returns your tons and the number of trips.

Why asphalt is sold by weight

A torn-up driveway makes a modest pile at the edge of the pavement. Do not trust it: broken asphalt weighs about one ton per cubic yard — the same order as soil and broken concrete, far above a renovation dumpster that fills with wood and drywall. That is why asphalt never goes into the renovation box, and why it is not sold by volume.

One size goes out: the 20 yard. The price covers 7 tons included, 12 tons maximum; each additional ton is prorated from the disposal centre's weigh ticket — real weight, never rounded. And the box fills three quarters at most (45 inches from the floor): the truck's legal load is reached well before the rim. Our drivers say it on every jobsite — an asphalt dumpster filled to the brim would never leave your driveway.

One clarification that saves a lot of sorting: asphalt shingles do not go here. Despite the name, roofing shingles are not paving asphalt — they leave in the mixed dry materials dumpster, and the roofing dumpster page gives the right size by bundle count. This page is for asphalt torn out of the ground: the driveway being redone, the parking lot being repaved, the paving pieces. Why does each material travel alone? The blog explains it.

How many tons, how many trips?

Measure your driveway, parking lot or walkway: the tool converts to cubic yards, then tons, and tells you whether one dumpster is enough.

Jobsite benchmark: torn-up asphalt weighs about one ton per cubic yard — the same order as soil and broken concrete.

What goes into the asphalt dumpster

A single-material dumpster takes that material only: any mixing brings sorting fees. The rule is simple, and it protects your invoice.

Yes — asphalt only

Driveway, parking lot, walkway — the asphalt, torn up and in pieces
Paving pieces: a partial repair or a whole surface removed
Residential or commercial: same size, same rule — the number of trips is what adjusts

No — this stays out

Asphalt shingles: never here. Despite the name, they leave in the mixed dry materials dumpster — the classic mix-up, and it costs a sort
Concrete, « while we're at it »: it has its own dumpster — any mixing brings sorting fees
Soil: it has its own dumpster. Crushed stone from under the paving is tolerated in small amounts — what comes up stuck to the asphalt, not a load of gravel
The refused-everywhere items: tires, oils, paints, solvents, aerosols, propane tanks

Asphalt jobsite questions

Do asphalt shingles go into the asphalt dumpster?

No — and it is THE question. Despite the name, roofing shingles are not paving asphalt: they leave in the mixed dry materials dumpster, with the wood and drywall from the job. The roofing dumpster page gives the right size by bundle count. The asphalt dumpster, for its part, takes asphalt torn out of the ground.

Why does asphalt get its own dumpster?

Because it is sold by weight and it travels alone. A single-material dumpster takes only its material: concrete, soil, bricks or asphalt, each has its own disposal centre, and any mixing brings sorting fees — it is your invoice we are protecting. If your project produces more than one material, we plan two boxes or two trips.

How many tons are included?

7 tons are included in the price, and a trip leaves at 12 tons maximum. In between, each additional ton is prorated from the disposal centre's weigh ticket — your load's real weight, never rounded.

Is the asphalt recycled?

Your load goes to a disposal centre, where it is weighed — that weigh ticket is what counts for the invoice. What happens to it next is up to the centre, not us: we will not promise a recycling rate we do not control. What we do guarantee is the mechanism — single material, real weight, never rounded.

Can the crushed stone under the asphalt go in with it?

Do not load it without calling: it is the classic borderline case of the single-material rule. A thirty-second call before loading settles it — always cheaper than sorting at the disposal centre. Soil is no borderline case: it has its own dumpster.
