Bought the Roofers Buggy. It will be delivered Friday.

We will be recycling our customers shingles. This is what tipped the scales in favor of the purchase. We will never put a dumpster in our customers driveway or anywhere else on their property. The Roofers Buggy will allow us to unload into a dumpster at the shop. This will also cut our dumping fees in half.
Nice piece Lefty!
Holy Cow... those are some HIGH dump fees...!
I pay $42/ton at one dump, & $38/ton at another.
Used to go to a "construction debris only" dump several years ago. They charged a flat rate. My 7x14 dump trailer was $60/load. Then $75/load for the last year they were open. They finally got full & closed.
Only options I have today are two different county landfills. Their prices are the ones I listed.
Yep Clover, I can see where it could be a lot of help. You can even put a big stack of new shingles on that sucker and lift em up there. I just rarely do a job anymore that's big enough to need anything like that. Most of the jobs I do require nothing more than a couple of large contractor bags that I just drag across the yard to the truck. lol
Chuck: When I get frustrated and start thinking about quitting the rat race, going to me myself and I, it calms me to know that I have this thing paid for and that it would be a HUGE help working by myself.
We have free shingle recycling around here as of the last year or so.
What little trash I accumulate doing repairs goes into the back of my pickup and then into the dumpster at my suppliers place. There is no cost to use their dumpster. It's part of the deal we have where I get discounted pricing to buy most of my materials there plus I get free trash disposal. ;)
Mike, we pay $75 + scale fee at the one place. The other place we pay $125 a ton. The recycling dump fee will be around $60 I think. I am meeting with them Monday morning.
This will change your game. We almost never leave the house without it.
Egg, I forgot to put in the orginal post that we will be recycling our customers shingles.
Great piece of equipment to add to the arsenal and I hope you get years and years of great work out of it. Good show.
