Finding Carpet Recycling California Companies

By Bonnie Contreras


There are a lot of things that are available and that ought to be recycled. While most people are aware that paper, card and plastics can be recycled they may not be aware that other items can also be reclaimed and reused. Carpets are one thing you may not necessarily think of and there are a number of carpet recycling California companies that can do the work for you.

Thousands of tonnes of material that these carpets are made from get disposed of every day. This includes woollen fibres and plastic. Over time this is added to landfill that builds up more and more causing more environmental problems. It is crucial that this unnecessary waste is minimised as much as possible.

For example if the carpet is wool rich then it will often be stripped down in order to add additional nitrogen to compost and other soil enhancers. This helps to benefit the nitrogen cycle, something that is vital to life on Earth as this keeps plants alive, animals eat the plants, meat eating animals eat the plants and so forth.

Pretty much any material can be reused and reformed into another surface. As well as other carpets synthetic material can be combined with rubber and sand in order to reform into an equestrian surface. The backing can also be reused to form road surfaces. The chances are you have stood on something that used to be a carpet without knowing it!

Nylon can also be recovered and reformed into plastic. This plastic can then be used as parts for various appliances as opposed to using up the finite amount of plastic available that may well run out in the future. Therefore your old carpet could potentially be used to help keep your washing machine going!

Natural non woven materials can also be stripped down. These can be remade into insulation. With sound insulation you can enjoy recording loud music without worrying about bothering your neighbours while the benefit of heat insulation is that any heat lost through the roof, walls and so forth can be kept in. As well as reducing energy usage this reduces heating costs as well!

It is worth being aware of what materials can be recycled into when discussing where you will get the materials recycled. A professional recycling company ought to be able to explain what they will do with. If they are hesitant then you may wish to consider looking elsewhere. Any materials need to be reused properly and sensibly. As well as explaining what they can reuse they should also be able to say what they cannot reuse so that nothing is wasted unnecessarily.

There are numerous companies that offer carpet recycling California. It is worth looking online for background information. As with any service you should compare costs and see what they are offering. This will help you to choose the best service in terms of both efficiency and cost. Look online to see what is available near you and is best suited to your personal needs.
