When you’re in the process of a home renovation, it can be satisfying to see old flooring go to make way for a completely new look. When it comes to removing old flooring, you want to make sure you have everything you need to get the job done. One thing that people don’t always think about right away is waste removal. You’re going to have a lot of waste as you remove old flooring, and you want to make sure you have a dumpster to help you get rid of it all. Rolys Dumpster Rental is here to talk about old flooring removal and why dumpsters come in handy during that process.

Different Types of Flooring & The Waste They Generate When Removing Them

If you are getting ready to remove old flooring as part of a renovation, it is important to know that not all flooring generates the same kind of waste. Here are some different types of flooring and what you can expect when you’re removing them:

• Tile & Stone: You need to know that tile and stone floors are the heaviest flooring materials to remove. You need to make proper arrangements to get rid of it as you will likely have at least one ton of waste to remove just by removing the flooring from one room.
• Hardwood: When you’re removing hardwood flooring, you can count on 2-3 pounds per square foot. It isn’t just the planks that you need to think about though. There are also underlayment, subfloor pieces, and hundreds of nails that will need to be included.
• Carpet: Removing carpet is a bulky project. You will have rolls and rolls of carpet that you’ll be hauling out of your home. It is heavier than you think it is as well. You also have to think about the foam padding that you’ll be clearing out as well. Even though this isn’t necessarily heavy to remove, it is bulky and will fill up a dumpster in no time.

Get the Right Sized Dumpster & Load Methodically

When you’re removing flooring, it is important that you work with your dumpster rental company to get the right sized dumpster from the start. You should be able to calculate what you’ll need by measuring and considering the type of flooring you have. When you are filling the dumpster, make sure you are filling it methodically so that you can maximize what you can get in it before it is deemed full. Load the heavier, bulkier items in first and stack it neatly to fit more waste in the dumpster.
