GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Carpet recycling gains traction in region

A recycling milestone unfolded with the old green and yellow carpets from the Seaview Resort & Spa. As part of a $1.5 million carpet and painting renovation, workers from Baumgardner Flooring, of Egg Harbor Township, spent three months removing tons of carpet and padding from the 297-room resort. But instead of hauling the loads to a landfill, where it would take years for the petroleum-based fabric to break down - if it ever does - all 14,000 square yards of flooring were trucked to CarpetCycle, a carpet and ceiling tile recycler based in Elizabeth, Union County.

Atlantic County, NJ Kicks Off Carpet Recycling Program

Starting November 15, 2007, the Atlantic County Utilities Authority will be accepting residential carpet for recycling. Along with conserving landfill space, carpet recycling offers other environmental benefits because most carpet is a petroleum-based product. Carpet recycling programs can save more than 700,000 barrels of oil per year and conserve 4.4 trillion BTUs of energy. With less energy being used to produce new carpet, air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions are being lowered.
