Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on May 15, 2012Depending upon your garbage pick up will depend upon how you would rid yourself of this debris. Many towns have restrictions on what you can and cannot put in your regular garbage. My town allows just about anything, but as a contractor I am limited on that account. We do have a local dump that pretty takes anything I can generate at my own home, but cannot throw out debris from my projects at other owners homes. Unless they live in my town. I would contact your local disposal company and ask them about this. They may suggest that you put smaller portions of the debris in plastic bags and dispose of it over a few trash cycles. hint hint. Bagster found at the big box stores is also another way to rid yourself of larger debris piles. This is a bag that you purchase for a one time use that you set in the driveway and fill up. A phone number is provided with this bag which you call when its time for pick up. The dumpster company comes along and using a small crane like device picks up the bag and puts it in their truck. This works fine, but is a bit expensive as compared to getting a small roll off or roll around dumpster set in the yard for a few days. Lastly there are tons of companies that pick up trash. These scavengers give you a set price to haul it away. You often can negotiate the price a bit, but they do all the work of putting it in the truck. All you need to do is have a pile for them to pick up.Helpful Reply

Dee on Jul 08, 2015You might try calling your local habitat for humanity restore shop. They may have someone who would take the tile or maybe even remove and take it from you if you will donate it to them. You can also check with Home Depot, they may be able to give you advice on how to remove and get rid of the tile.Helpful Reply
