Never perform any removal of floor tiles in dry condition. To ensure minimal breakage, remove the tiles in whole pieces and linoleum in large sections. After removal, put the wet material in 6-mil poly bags or wrap in 6-mil poly sheeting, immediately. Never leave the material in loose condition. To prevent material from leakage use a duct tape to seal the poly bags or sheets. Watch that contained floor material does not poke or tear holes in 6-mil poly bags or sheets. Send the material immediately to landfill before it becomes dry, along with one copy of your permit for the disposal records.
