You can remove glued-down laminate floor by prying up each individual tile with a pry bar, then scraping off the glue with a scraper. A heat gun can help soften the glue and make it easier to peel away. Keep in mind that old laminate floor tiles may contain asbestos, particularly in the adhesive. If your home was built before the 1980s, consult a pro.

Unsurprisingly, one of the busiest seasons for junk haulers is the springtime. The warmer weather makes spring the best time for junk removal for most people. If your junk removal schedule is flexible, though, booking for the winter might be the best option for you. You’ll see more availability and even a possible discount since the colder months are generally slower for junk haulers. If you are getting rid of unneeded junk during warmer months, call a junk removal specialist in advance to ensure they get you on the schedule. 

When it comes to disposing of mattresses, metal, and untreated wood items, these are typically recyclable. In comparison, things like treated wood, chipboard or particleboard, and some types of sofa foam padding aren’t. Older items of furniture also often contain chemicals that are a health hazard. However, it might be possible to break the furniture down and recycle some, if not all, of the pieces. Contact your government trash management division or a local, authorized recycling center for more advice.

Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.
