Bro-Tex Carpet Recycling
There is now a “green” destination for your old carpet that will keep it out of the landfills, save valuable natural resources and save you money in the process.
Bro-Tex Inc. has pioneered the use of new processes and technologies that allow us to recycle used Post Consumer Carpet (PCC) for a variety of applications. We accept carpet directly at Bro-Tex, or through our network of collection centers. At Bro-Tex we thoroughly inspect and test the carpet by type of material and construction to determine where it can be used. The materials from this carpet could become new carpet again, plastic resin for making plastic parts, plastic drainage pipe, new carpet pad, acoustic matting or as an energy substitute for natural gas and coal.
Bro-Tex actively participates in the Carpet America Recovery Effort, CARE, with the objective of diverting 40% of the Post Consumer carpet from the landfills in the USA by the year 2012. Per the CARE statistics you will help save 440 gallons of oil, 10,000,000 BTU of energy and divert 4,500 lbs from landfills for every 1,000 square yards of carpet that is recycled. More details are available on the CARE website at www.carpetrecovery.org.
For the recycling of Post Consumer Carpet and Pad the material must meet the following requirements:
Residential or commercial carpet accepted
Separated foam or fiber padding accepted
Must be dry, no wet carpet or pad
No rubber backed carpet or rubber pad
No carpet tile or other rigid flooring
Rolled or bagged by single material type (old, new, pad)
Maximum 6 feet for width of carpet in rolls
Rolls tied with string or twine (no duct tape)
Cut out seaming tape as much as possible
No tack strips, nails, staples or knife blades
No wet glue, debris, refuse, rocks or caked mud
Minimal loose dirt
Absolutely no co-mingled refuse accepted
Carpet and pad from individuals, carpet installers or refuse haulers can be delivered to Bro-Tex or one of our other collection sites shown below. For special collections or transportation of large and regular quantities please contact Bro-Tex for information on alternative collection methods.

There is no tipping fee or drop-off charge at this time for carpet or pad delivered directly to Bro-Tex within the stated specifications. Bro-Tex does reserve the right to refuse out-of-spec material and institute a drop-off charge at our discretion. Some of the remote collection facilities may charge a minimal drop-off fee to cover administrative and handling expenses. At these sites you will need to transfer your carpet to the trailers at the site. Transfer assistance is not generally available at collection sites.
Bro-Tex, Inc. is a proud member of CARE.
