Recycle your old carpet. It’s easy!

It's important to be good stewards of the environment and to be of service to the community. We worked hard to be one of the first flooring retailers in California to be certified to recycle carpet. Please do bring your used carpet to one of our stores in Fresno or Hanford. We strive to make carpet recycling easy. There’s no reason not to recycle!

  • Separate carpet from pad
  • Roll carpet

  • Stack carpet tile

Bring it to our store during business hours.​

Old Carpet

Recycle Carpet. Why Bother?

More than 350 million pounds of carpet are buried in California landfills every year, where it stays for centuries without breaking down. There's a better way: recycling. Recycling carpet saves natural resources, conserves landfill space, and reduces dependency on fossil fuels. Old carpet can be recycled and made into useful new products, like traffic signs, insulation, new carpet, and new carpet padding.

In 2010, California passed a Carpet Stewardship law to increase carpet recycling. Since then, over 1.3 billion pounds of carpet have been diverted from our landfills and recycled. By working together, we can do more! This program is supported by Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE). CARE works to create market-based solutions to increase carpet recycling and divert carpet from landfill.

Luke Robinson, Chief Financial Officer

"The program Carpet Recycling in California has been very efficient. We've saved tons of pulled-up carpet from landfills and the material is being recycled. Robinson's was the first carpet recycling center in California located at a flooring retailer's store. We are committed to being good stewards of the environment."
