If you just had a tile roof torn off (or you’re a roofing contractor mid-reroof with a dumpster full of broken tile), the short answer is: RM Naples accepts both cement and clay roof tile for disposal at its Naples facility, for a $12 tipping fee ([VERIFY: current price before publish; confirmed live on the concrete/clay roof tile disposal page as of 2026-07-25]). You don’t need to sort cement tile from clay tile before you arrive; both are accepted in the same category.

A quick note before we get into it: this isn’t a high-search-volume topic. Most people going through a reroof aren’t searching Google for “roof tile disposal.” They’re asking their roofer, or they’re a roofer who already knows where to take debris. We’re writing this anyway because it’s a real question that comes up with real customers in Naples and Bonita Springs, and it’s worth having a clear, honest answer on the site rather than making a reader dig for it.

Cement Tile vs. Clay Tile: Does the Disposal Process Differ?

Not meaningfully, from a drop-off standpoint. Both cement (concrete) roof tile and clay roof tile are accepted at RM Naples as a single disposal category; you don’t need to separate them into different loads or piles before you arrive. That’s a genuinely useful thing to know if you’re clearing out a mixed reroof job where a prior repair or addition used a different tile type than the original roof.

Where the material types actually differ is in what happens after drop-off: clay tile and cement tile break down and recycle differently on the processing side. But that’s RM Naples’ problem to solve, not something you need to plan around when you’re loading a truck or a dumpster.

What Happens to Old Roof Tile After You Drop It Off?

Old roof tile dropped at RM Naples gets processed alongside the facility’s broader concrete/aggregate recycling operation rather than landfilled outright. If you’re specifically interested in what recycled tile material becomes, it’s worth asking RM Naples directly; we’re not going to speculate on exact processing specifics here, since we don’t have that documented from the client.

What we can say with confidence: keeping tile out of a general construction-debris dumpster and routing it to a facility built to process it is generally the better outcome than sending broken tile straight to a landfill, both from a cost standpoint (tipping fees at a C&D recycler are typically lower than landfill disposal by weight) and from a materials-recovery standpoint.

What a Reroof Crew (or Homeowner) Should Plan For

Whether you’re a roofing contractor running the tear-off or a homeowner overseeing your own reroof, a few practical things make disposal smoother:

• Confirm the current tipping fee before the job starts, not after the tile is already loaded. Rates can change, and it’s easier to budget accurately upfront. See the concrete/clay roof tile disposal page for current pricing.
• Don’t mix tile with other reroof debris. Underlayment, flashing, wood decking, and battens are typically not accepted in the same category as tile; ask what’s expected before you load a single dumpster with everything from the tear-off.
• Broken tile in original bundles or on pallets may load and haul differently than loose broken tile; if you’re a homeowner hiring this out, your roofing contractor will typically already know the right approach; if you’re doing any of the hauling yourself, ask RM Naples what load format works best.
• Ask about volume arrangements if you’re a roofing contractor running multiple reroofs a month. A facility handling your jobs regularly may be able to streamline repeat drop-offs.

Roofing in Naples, Bonita Springs, or Fort Myers? A Few Local Notes

RM Naples’ facility is located in Naples, FL, and serves reroof and demo debris from across the broader region, including Bonita Springs and Fort Myers homeowners and contractors, in addition to Naples and East Naples. If you’re coordinating a reroof job that spans multiple properties or a portfolio in these areas, it’s worth confirming drive-time and load logistics directly with RM Naples, since distance from a Bonita Springs or Fort Myers job site to the Naples facility will factor into whether on-site debris consolidation makes sense before a single haul.

If your reroof job is generating other debris beyond tile (old concrete pavers, a torn-out concrete walkway, or general demolition debris), see our companion guide on concrete disposal in Naples for what’s accepted there and how it’s priced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RM Naples accept both cement and clay roof tile?

Yes. Both cement (concrete) and clay roof tile are accepted in the same disposal category at RM Naples’ Naples facility; you don’t need to separate them before you arrive.

How much does it cost to dispose of old roof tile in Naples?

RM Naples lists a $12 tipping fee for concrete/clay roof tile disposal as of 2026-07-25, via its roof tile disposal page. Confirm the current rate before your reroof job starts, since tipping fees can change.

Can I bring tile from a Bonita Springs or Fort Myers reroof job to the Naples facility?

Yes. RM Naples serves the broader Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers area, though the drop-off facility itself is in Naples. Confirm drive-time and load logistics directly with the team, especially for a multi-property or portfolio job.

Can I mix roof tile with other reroof debris like underlayment or flashing in the same load?

Generally not: tile is its own accepted category, and other reroof materials like underlayment, flashing, and wood decking typically aren’t accepted alongside it. Ask ahead of time what’s expected for your specific job.

Is there a lot of search demand for “roof tile disposal” as a topic?

Not really, based on current keyword data. This is a low-search-volume, high-utility topic. We’ve written it as a genuinely useful answer for reroof customers and contractors rather than as an SEO play, and it earns its keep through local relevance and internal linking rather than organic traffic volume.
