Plastic sheet for shingle cleanup

Whenever we have to strip a roof -- always a
horrible task -- we start by spreading a 4-mil
polyethylene sheet over the ground near the
house. Then we back the pickup as close as
possible to the house and build a plywood
chute that leads from the truck bed to the
edge of the roof. Once we've loaded the shingles
in the truck, we drive off the plastic and
roll it up, encapsulating any wayward roof debris.
We then unroll the plastic at the dump to
clean it, and save it for the next job. This
method has allowed us to offer our customers
the "Dixie Cup Guarantee": the 3-oz. paper
cup we give them at the end of the job cannot
be filled
