For those of you who don't read Danny Seo's blog, I'll share what I learned today. (for those of you who do read his blog...come back tomorrow...)
There is a national organization, called Carpet America Recovery Effort. From their website:
Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) is a joint industry-government effort to increase the amount of recycling and reuse of post-consumer carpet and reduce the amount of waste carpet going to landfills. CARE was established as a result of a Memorandum of Understanding for Carpet Stewardship (MOU), a national agreement signed by members of the carpet industry, representatives of government agencies at the federal, state and local levels, and non-governmental organizations.
Check out the positive things they are doing. Are you looking for a place to recycle some old carpet? Check them out here.

Thanks, I called Design Source Interiors in Lenexa, the only KC area carpet recycle source listed. They will pick up my old rental carpet as long as it is dry and rolled and haul it away for $60. They analyze the content and send it to the appropriate recycle agent. They will take long rolls of carpet and pad. They just asked that we tape the rolls.
