Tips For 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.

How the material is reused will depend on the condition of the carpet and the material it is made from. What a company will usually do is strip down the fibres and then reshape it into something else. What this will then go on to be will depend on whether it is made from natural or synthetic materials and whether or not the fibres are woven or unwoven as this will affect how they can be reused. However in most cases there is no need to add the material to landfill!

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.

What you may not realise is that any material can be stripped down and then reused into another carpet. It may seem strange but there is every chance that somewhere you have been to will have a surface that was once another surface elsewhere. Therefore even if your surface is worn out you should not assume that it cannot be used again.

With synthetic materials they can be reused as equestrian surfaces. The way this works is that the synthetic material is mixed with sand and rubber in order to form this surface. Nylon can also be reformed into plastics that can then go onto form parts for various appliances, reducing the need for additional plastic to be made from unsustainable sources.

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.

When comparing carpet recycling California companies it is vital that you consider what is best suited to your individual requirements. They should be willing to provide details on how they will use the material and the costs involved. Look online to see what is available near you as well as feedback on the company from previous clients in order to ensure you get the best possible service.
