Sf Carpet Recycling

SF Carpet Recycling is a collection site for post consumer carpet and carpet pad for the San Francisco Bay Area. Conveniently located in the 3rd Street corridor in the southeast part of San Francisco, we accept used carpet for the purpose of recycling.
Carpet currently makes up between 3% and 5% of the waste in the landfill and it remains there for a VERY long time! When you recycle your old carpet, you are playing an important role in diverting the carpet from the landfill. Not only are you doing a good thing for the environment, but when you request that your old carpet be brought to SF Carpet Recycling, you will save money too. Our prices are lower than disposing of your unwanted carpet at a refuse facility.
A high percentage of the used carpet that we collect actually feeds a "cradle to cradle" process where it is processed to become new carpet or pet acessories all over again. This sustainable process is a win for the consumer and a win for manufacturers. Recycling post consumer carpet saves money, avoids growing the garbage in the landfill, and reduces the need for virgin oil in the carpet manufacturing process.

For every 10 million pounds of post-consumer carpet recycled:
• 50,000 cubic yards of landfill space is saved
• 70 million pounds of GHG emissions are avoided (CO2 equivalents)
