Roof Tear-Off Debris Hauled Away in Markham, A Real Before & After From Our Crew
A Markham roof tear-off left two pallets worth of old shingles, tar paper and slate roofing piled on blue tarps in the backyard. Our crew hauled every pound of it away the same day. Here is exactly how the job ran.
What the backyard looked like after the roofers left
The before photo is what most homeowners walk out to the morning after a roof tear-off. A blue tarp pulled across the lawn, a mountain of old asphalt shingles, broken slate, ripped tar paper, nail-studded underlayment and a few bags of mixed debris stacked against the back fence. The roofers did their job and rolled out, leaving the cleanup as somebody else's problem. That is the moment most Markham and Toronto homeowners search for roof tear off debris removal Markham, because the city will not pick this up at the curb and a regular hauler will not touch shingles either.
How our crew cleared the shingles and roofing waste
Two movers, one 15 cubic yard truck, and a couple of hours start to finish. We staged the truck at the curb, rolled the tarps in toward the centre to keep loose nails contained, then forked the shingles in scoop loads straight into the box. Slate pieces and heavier offcuts went in last so the load rode flat. Tar paper, plastic wrap and the bagged debris were sorted at the truck. We swept the lawn with a magnetic nail sweeper before we left so nobody would step on a rusty roofing nail a week later. Shingle disposal Toronto only goes smoothly when the crew comes prepared for the weight and the sharp edges.
Why shingles and tar paper are not regular junk
Asphalt shingles are heavy, oily and banned from most curbside pickups across the GTA. Tar paper, underlayment and slate need to go to a construction and demolition recycler, not a household landfill. Roofing waste removal GTA through a licensed crew means the load is weighed and dropped at a facility that handles asphalt shingle recycling and proper construction waste sorting. You also avoid the eco fee surprises and the half-day drive to find a transfer station that will take a pickup truck full of shingles in the first place.
What roof tear-off debris removal in Markham costs
A typical residential tear-off pile is a half to three quarter truck load by volume, with a small heavy-load surcharge because shingles weigh five to six times more than the same volume of household junk. Half a truck of roofing waste runs around 449 dollars, three quarters lands near 569 dollars, a packed full truck tops out near 689 dollars.
