Home Carpet One proudly announces that it is doing its part one square foot of carpet at a time to be green. Any recyclable carpet and pad removed from your home prior to installation will avoid the land fill when you purchase new carpet from Home Carpet One. Instead of taking it to a dumpster at our Chicago carpet warehouse, we are setting it aside for our carpet recycling partner to repurpose the carpet and pad. Home Carpet One has partnered with Surfaces Transport as a voluntary participant of the CLEAR (Carpet Landfill Elimination and Recycling) Carpet Recycling program in an effort to reduce landfill waste by recycling most of the carpet and pad removed from job sites.
