If you’re not sure what to do with it, worry no longer – 888-PIK-ITUP has the solution! Maybe you want to try to recycle your old carpet, flooring, concrete, or even shingles. Whatever it is, we have the answer to all the hard questions on how to recycle old construction waste.
Carpet
You might be wondering if you caan you recycle all that old carpet that you just tore out. The answer is yes! Well, mostly. Most carpet recycling is done on a case-by-case basis depending on the type of fiber and whether it can be broken down to create new carpet.
Unfortunately, due to health concerns, you can’t just put the old carpet down on a new floor space like you can with a rug. After all, it collects dust and dirt kind of like a mattress does.
You might be tempted to just throw your old carpet in the trash and be done with it. And in small amounts, you can. But many people just get stuck with a giant roll of old, nasty carpet, and don’t know what to do with it or how to get rid of it.
To add to the conundrum, you also have the carpet padding to worry about. That is usually recyclable too, but it has to be separated from the carpet first and is really only acceptable if it’s still in good condition.
That’s a lot of extra work that you probably don’t have the time or desire to put into your project. That’s why 1-88-PIK-ITUP is here to help!

Construction Waste

Shingles
Many people don’t realize that they can recycle their shingles, but you totally can! Because of their asphalt content, they often become pavement for streets and highways. In fact, an average-sized home can pave about 200 feet of a two-lane highway. Not all contractors offer to recycle shingles, so you’ll have to be sure to ask. If they don’t recycle, no worries! We can take care of that part for you.
At 1-888-PIK-IT-UP, we can help you recycle the shingles if your contractor doesn’t. We’ll also make sure to recycle all other construction waste as well.
