Rip Up Contracting

Not your average carpet company, CarpetCycle LLC specializes in removing existing floors and preparing surfaces for re-installation. We do not, nor have we ever, installed flooring products rather we have, over the years developed a strong reputation in the flooring community as the leading flooring removal and surface preparation company. We have the experience and the machinery to handle large tough rip-ups of all flooring surfaces, including Carpet, Carpet-Tile, VCT and Ceramic.

Case Study:


In 2003 Pfizer Inc., which is headquartered in New York City, with campuses and production facilities around the nation and globe, embarked on a large-scale office expansion, redevelopment and retrofit project. New office space was purchased and Pfizer developed a multi-year plan to move and update many of its Headquarters’ spaces. Pfizer’s mandate of corporate responsibility led the construction planners to look for ways to recycle the old carpet in the spaces that were undergoing construction. Pfizer saw the opportunity to keep large quantities of old carpet from being hauled to landfills. Pfizer looked at carpet recycling as the environmentally responsible thing to do.

CarpetCycle facilitated the reclamation process for Pfizer by coordinating and conducting the carpet removal. As a result, the carpet removal was accomplished on schedule and in budget. Pfizer was able to save time and resources and the old carpet did not end up in a landfill. CarpetCycle was able to rip-up and transport carpet to our recycling center in Elizabeth, NJ.

As a result, CarpetCycle was able to offer professional solutions by managing the entire process – from removal to compliance to certification:

CarpetCycle continues to spearhead carpet recycling on Pfizer projects. We create schedules to get the carpet off of the floor before other construction begins, saving time in the remainder of the demolition process, and eliminating carpet landfill waste from these projects.

Pfizer Results:

In the years 2003-2005 CarpetCycle helped Pfizer divert 84,000 square yards of carpet from landfills.
