If your mobile home was constructed prior to 1980, have it inspected by a certified asbestos abatement professional for asbestos abatement purposes.

For each construction material such as wood or siding siding, using appropriate tools dismantle each section of exterior walls one at a time with appropriate tools to be removed for sorting and removal later. Stack debris neatly.
4. Flooring and Subflooring
Remove flooring materials such as carpet or linoleum before taking steps to subfloor it beneath.

Carefully dismantle the wooden frame of a mobile home by carefully unhooking lumber from nails and metal components and deconstructing into individual lumber components for disposal.

Assort the debris piles into three categories of recyclable material such as metal cans; non-recyclable construction waste and hazardous material (if applicable); and hazardous material.

Arrange for pickup of recyclable materials. Retain a licensed waste disposal service provider for non-recyclable construction waste hauled off-site by them, while following all safety regulations when disposing hazardous substances.
