How Do You Remove Garbage from Residential Job Sites?
One of the most common concerns homeowners have when getting a new roof is the mess involved. Roofing projects generate a significant amount of debris – old shingles, nails, flashing, underlayment, and packaging materials. At McKay Roofing, we take job site cleanup seriously and have a proven process to ensure your property is left clean when we are done.
Our Cleanup Process
Before the project begins, we place tarps around the base of your home to catch falling debris. This protects your landscaping, gardens, and walkways from damage during the tear-off process.
During the project, old roofing materials are loaded directly into a dedicated disposal bin or dump trailer on site. Our crews clean as they go, which minimizes the spread of debris across your property.
After the roof is complete, our team conducts a thorough cleanup that includes:
- Picking up all visible debris from the roof, gutters, and ground
- Running a magnetic nail sweep across your yard, driveway, and walkways to pick up stray nails
- Removing all tarps and protective coverings
- Hauling away the disposal bin with all old roofing materials
- A final walk-around inspection to ensure nothing was missed
Where Does the Debris Go?
All roofing debris is transported to an approved disposal facility. Where possible, materials like asphalt shingles and metal are recycled. We are committed to responsible waste management and comply with all local disposal regulations in the Ottawa Valley.
