Carpet recycling can be accessed at www.carpetrecovery.org - the Carpet
America Recovery Effort.
It is still an emerging recycle sector, fine-tuning the technology,
infrastructure, and processes to recover post-consumer carpets, so

in the manufacture of carpet-backing?
How big of a problem is it, is it
really
something that concerns large generators? Who, other than country
clubs,
would the large generators be, the manufacturers? If tennis ball
production
facilities are near those who make carpet, it could be a good option.
Sorry that's more questions than
answers!!
