Tearing down a lean-to—what do I do with the roof?

Posted by Blue3992 (N Illinois) on January 08, 2007 at 19:12:15 from (152.163.100.74):

I’ve got a 14’ x 40’ lean-to on my barn. The roof has got a pretty small pitch, it’s almost flat. The lean-to wasn’t constructed real well in the first place, and I want to just get rid of it.

I’ve got most of the deconstruction planned out. The whole thing is made out of wood, so I was planning on tearing it down and then burning it. I’m not sure what to do about the roof though. It’s got one layer of shingles on it, about 15 years old. Would I be OK with burning the shingles? Would they all burn up, or would I be left with a big pile of melted asphalt in my burn pit? I could go up on the roof with a couple of shovels and take off the shingles, but that would be a hell of a lot more work, and I’d have to truck it to the landfill.

Thoughts?
