In terms of green credentials, you wouldn’t automatically think that a huge city like London is high on the list. But when it comes to waste disposal, recycling and variety of recyclable materials – London is ahead of most of the country. While we are certainly not at the point of weekly refuse collectors taking away carpet, there are a large amount of recycling centres that will accept carpets, carpet tiles and most rugs.
Before you continue! Why go to the effort of taking your old carpet to be recycled yourself? Get in touch with Envirocycle today and let us do the hard work for you. We reuse all carpet tiles that we can, while anything we can’t reuse gets recycled and anything that can’t be recycled getting disposed of correctly.
If you’re on a budget and have time to do the work yourself, then you will find lots of locations in South London where you are able to recycle carpet tiles below:
