Carpet and flooring disposal for old carpet, pad, laminate, hardwood, vinyl and tile, with tips for rolling, bundling and weight.
Pulling up an old floor creates a surprising amount of waste. Carpet and pad come up in heavy rolls, laminate and vinyl in long strips and tile in dense chunks. A roll-off dumpster at the front door lets you carry it all out in a few trips. In Nashville, flooring projects are among the most common reasons for renting a container, and a ten or fifteen-yard size handles most of them.
Roll carpet tightly and tape it so it stays put, and bundle laminate and vinyl strips so they stack neatly. Tile and thinset are heavy, so keep them low and tell us how much you have. If tile is a big part of the project, a separate low-side container may be a better plan. We help you pick a size from the square footage and the materials, so you do not pay for space you will not use. Cut carpet into strips about three feet wide before rolling, which makes the rolls easier to carry and load. Remove tack strips and staples when you can, since they are a hazard for hands. Keep vinyl, laminate and tile in separate piles so you can load heavy items first.
