I can’t for the life of me remember how many squares of shingles I should figure per yard for a tear-off. I’m re-roofing my house next week and need to order a dumpster.

I usually just order a 30-yard box, and use the extra space for all the other junk that's accumulated around the house since I had the last dumpster here. For the extra $100 over the cost of a 20-yard, it's well worth it.
Beyond that, figure 1 CY per 3-4 squares, depending on how much you jump up and down in the box to pack the stuff down.

Thanks for the info.
We don't have much accumulated junk right now. We've spent a large part of the winter cleaning house in anticipation of moving this summer. So we're set pretty well.
I ahve 15 squares, I think. So I'll have to see what sizes of dumpster are available tomorrow.Plunder globally. Manage media locally.
I guess we won't be hearing from you for a week or two until you recover enough to type then...LOL
I never had to figure it that way, I guess. But think about it like this. In the wrappers the 240 three tabs stacked on a pallet would take maybe eight squares to make a stack ~ one yard. So with all the crumpl;ing and air pockets in tear off waste, it might take up to three times as much space, so maybe three squares to the yard?
