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.

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.

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.

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 materials can also be reformed. Non woven fibres can be used as insulation. Sound insulation is useful if you want to record music and not disturb people in the rest of the house. Most people know that insulating the roof helps to trap heat and reduce energy costs. However it is worth knowing that this can also be used in walls and other parts of the house as well.

All materials that can be reused have a high calorific value. This has nothing to do with food but in terms of the energy they burn off. This means that instead of using finite fossil fuels you can use this reused material as a fuel for kilns instead. Therefore as well as reusing the material you are also preventing over consumption and dependency on fossil fuel.

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.
