Carpet Recycling
Why Recycle Carpet?
Sustainability and environmental responsibility are crucial in the construction and renovation industry, as many homeowners and businesses prioritize them. By choosing to recycle your carpet with us, you’re not only contributing to your community’s zero-waste goals but also diverting waste from landfills and repurposing your old carpets into valuable resources.
Certified CARE Partner
As a certified Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) partner, we diverted over 2 million pounds of carpet from the landfill in 2022 and 2023. Our efforts have ranked us as one of California’s top carpet recycling facilities for several years!
Carpet Recycling Made Easy With Two Convenient Options:
We understand the demands of your work, which is why we’ve made our carpet recycling process as seamless as possible. With two convenient options for collection and drop-off, recycling your old carpets has never been easier.
1. Rent a C&D Debris Box
Our Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Box Rentals simplify recycling building materials, including carpets. Our services offer convenient scheduling, exceptional customer service, and ease of compliance with local and state recycling requirements, making renovation projects hassle-free.
The C&D box materials are processed through our dedicated recovery line, where over 90% of the material is diverted from landfills and recycled. We also provide free diversion letters, weight reports, and individual weight tickets for a small fee.
2. Drop off and Recycle With Us
Our program is user-friendly and tailored for professionals in the flooring industry, yet we also welcome those needing residential carpet recycling.
Keep it Dry and Debris Free
When replacing your carpet, protect the old carpet to prevent it from getting soiled or wet.
Prepare the Carpet
Cut the old carpet into manageable sections, detach it from the padding, and then roll or fold the carpet and padding separately.
We Will Handle the Rest
Our team meticulously sorts and processes carpets and padding by fiber type, preparing the materials for our manufacturing partners to complete the recycling process.
What Is It Recycled Into?
Carpet recycling is an environmentally friendly process that prevents old and used carpets from ending up in landfills. Instead, these carpets are transformed into valuable resources for new products. This form of recycling directly converts old carpets into new carpet fibers, supporting a circular economy. Additionally, the carpet padding and insulation are repurposed into sustainable insulation and padding, thereby enhancing energy efficiency in buildings.
