The collection and sorting part of SF Carpet Recycling has been sold to Goodwill of Silicon Valley located in San Jose, CA. You may contact them at 1.800.998.5728 or info@goodwillsv.org to arrange to have your carpet recycled. Please let them know we sent you.

SF Carpet Recycling works to find new uses for post consumer carpet and carpet pad. Our primary roles are:

1. Work with product designers to facilitate the use of materials derived from carpet.
2. Work with non-profits to find donated used carpet tiles that can be installed at their offices.
3. Work with manufacturers to create processes to deconstruct carpet and turn it into useful raw materials for other products.
4. Work with carpet collectors to find markets for their materials.

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 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.
