Americans are addicted to green -- no, we're not talking about the 'green' that's legal in a handful of states for medicinal use. We're talking about living a sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle.
\n\n\nThe Earth Day 2013 Consumer Recycling and Sustainability Survey took a look at the current state of recycling in America. The full survey describes how 86% of Americans recycle to some degree -- far higher than even a few years ago.
\n\nIt also points out that 92% of Americans weigh a product or manufacturer's sustainability and/or eco-friendliest before making a purchase.

Trex Company has been in the wood-alternative decking business for 20 years and its products are stocked at retailers nationwide.
\n\n\n'Trex was literally built on the use of sustainable materials, and we were eco-friendly before the term became widely popular,\" said Ronald W. Kaplan, chairman, president, and CEO of Trex.
\n\nAbout 95% of Trex’s products are made from recycled materials. The types of recycled materials used in the Trex decking and railing products include plastic grocery bags, sawdust, dry cleaning bags, packaging scrap, and other household plastic materials.
\n\nIn nature, it can take 20 or more years for a plastic bag to decompose, and as long as 450 years for plastic bottles to fully decompose! By reusing these materials, it reduces the amount of waste sitting in landfills for decades producing potentially harmful greenhouse gases and taking up space on our beautiful earth.
\n\nTrex is currently running a pilot program aimed at gathering an increased amount of recyclables from grocery stores, sports stadiums, schools, and businesses. It involves setting up “mini balers” on-site that basically crush recyclable items down into 50-lb. squares, which are then hauled off to Trex for manufacturing its decking products.
\n\nTrex isn’t the only company out there profiting off recyclables. Companies like UPS, eBay and Ford reuse recyclable goods in one way or another to turn a profit. It’s a smart, green way to make a profit while helping out the environment at the same time.
\n\nMaking money from recycling isn’t just for big businesses, you can also earn some quick cash by recycling.
\n\nMore than 10 states in the U.S. offer $0.05 to $0.10 bottle deposits. If you're in one of these states, you better take advantage!
\n\nYou can also offload your old electronics for cash – it’s better than letting them rot away in a junk drawer
\n\nMetal scrap yards accept scrap aluminum, copper, steel, cars, refrigerators, appliances, and other items (call 'em) that can net you a pretty penny.
\n\nLesser known methods for earning cash by recycling include signing up for Terracycle and/or Recyclebank to earn rewards for living an eco-friendly lifestyle.

\n\n\n\n\n\nYour floors are one of the first things people see when they enter and move throughout your home, and they can immediately influence a buyer's opinion of the home.
\n
With a return on investment (ROI) averaging 50-80% for new flooring installation, it’s a great investment, especially when your current flooring is old, outdated, or damaged.
\n\nRead on to learn about how to get rid of the old flooring, which type of new flooring to choose, and more.

To get an idea of the floor removal process, we've outlined the most popular types of floor removal for you below.
\n\nThis is not a comprehensive guide by any means, but it shows that floor removal isn't always as easy as it seems.
\n\nAs you can see, floor removal isn't a job for just anybody.
\n\nThat's why we always recommend hiring a professional to handle your floor removal.
\n\nThey'll be able to get the work done quickly, safely, and properly.
\n\nLearn more:
\n\nOnce the floor is torn up, it's time to manage the resulting debris.
\n\nIf you hire a professional to handle your floor removal, it's likely the will handle the debris disposal for you.
\n\nIif you chose to tear up your floors yourself, you're left responsible with figuring out what to do with the debris.
\n\nIt’s unlawful to dispose of construction debris in your curbside trash can, so avoid putting carpeting or other flooring scraps in with your regular trash.
\n\nIt may be possible to schedule a special pick-up with your waste hauler, but you need to call ahead to set this up. (Additional fees likely apply.)
\n\nHowever, we recommend renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company to handle the mess for you.
\n\nRenting a temporary dumpster is a super simple and convenient way to get rid of your flooring debris and potentially other junk you've got lying around your house.
\n\nTypically, a 10 yard or 20 yard dumpster is enough for a floor disposal project, and they cost anywhere from $250-$350 on average for a seven-day rental.
\n\nCosts vary by dumpster size, where you're located, the type and amount of debris you're disposing, and who you hire.
\n\nWe recommend reaching out to three dumpster rental providers (or more) to ensure you get the right dumpster size for the job without overpaying.
\n\nThis also will help to ensure you fnd a dumpster service that can have your dumpster delivered and picked up when you need it.
\n\nWhen reaching out to contractors for quotes, be sure you have a good understanding of how much debris you have.
\n\nThis will allow them to more accurately estimate which dumpster size is right for you.
\n\nReach out to dumpster providers a week or more in advance whenever possible to increase the chances of getting the dumpster you need when you need it.
\n\nKeep reading:
\n\nIf speed and convenience are a priority for you, hiring a junk removal company to load up, haul away, and dispose of your flooring debris is the way to go.
\n\nBecause they do all the work for you, junk removal is almost always more expensive than dumpster rental.
\n\nHowever, many people find that the time and effort saved is well worth the cost.
\n\nJust like with dumpster rental (and any other service), we recommend reaching out to multiple companies for quotes to ensure you choose the right one for you and your project.

The top choice in flooring materials, based on ROI and overall desirability, is wood flooring.
\n\nYou can expect to get back all or nearly all of the money put into wood flooring.
\n\nFor example, investing $5,000 in new wood floors throughout the house will likely raise the value of the home by $5,000 or more.
\n\nIt’s a cost-effective alternative to wood flooring that can boost a home’s value, just not quite as much as real wood flooring.
\n\nThis is a great option for mid-tier homes where it's common to utilize laminate wood flooring, carpeting, or vinyl.
\n\nIdeal for bathrooms, kitchens, and other “wet” areas, tile offers varying ROI depending on the type of tile and the type of neighborhood.
\n\nHigh-end tile flooring makes sense in a high-end home, but will not offer a great ROI when installed in a low-to-mid level home.
\n\nA great option for high-traffic or wet areas when on a budget.
\n\nThis type of flooring doesn’t necessarily offer a great ROI, but fresh flooring can always improve the aesthetic and functionality of a house, which never hurts.
\n\nAn affordable option that works well in some areas of the home, such as living rooms, dens, or bedrooms, is carpeting.
\n\nHowever, carpeting is typically less favorable compared to wood and laminate wood flooring.
\n\nNew flooring can add function, good looks, and value to your home. If you're considering replacing your floors, start here. Find out how to remove and dispose of your old flooring, popular replacement options, and more.
