If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it….. but if it’s ugly, upgrade it! We care about recycling for two reasons: it saves the planet and it saves you money. We have collected some unique ways to reuse and recycle your old carpet. When it’s time to rip it all out and throw down some new stone or wood floors, your carpet isn’t as dead as you might think. Consider these new life ideas for a summer project!
