There comes a time in every carpet’s life that it is just too worn and torn to be fixed.  But don’t throw it out!  You can recycle it!  Check out the  “Carpet America recovery effort” web site: http://www.carpetrecovery.org/

It’s a joint industry-government effort to increase the amount of recycling and reuse of post-consumer carpet and reduce the amount of waste carpet going to landfills. CARE will show you how and where to recycle. They also list companies that use recycled carpet fibers…and you will not believe the things they make from carpet fibers.

Please recycle your carpet.  You’ll be doing your bit for the environment and your children will thank you for it…
