Removing old flooring, whether carpet, tile, or hardwood, is a common component of many renovation projects and can generate substantial debris on its own, separate from any other work happening in the same space. Carpet and padding, while not particularly heavy, can be bulky once rolled up, especially when removed from multiple rooms at once. Tile flooring, similar to bathroom tile discussed elsewhere, is heavy relative to its volume and can affect weight considerations even for a moderate sized room. Hardwood flooring removal can generate a significant amount of material if an entire floor's worth of boards are being pulled up, and depending on how the flooring was installed, removal may also involve breaking up an underlying layer of plywood or other subfloor material. For homeowners throughout Ann Arbor planning a flooring replacement project, accounting for the specific type of flooring being removed, not just the square footage of the rooms involved, helps in selecting an appropriately sized container.
