As you may have noticed, I like to give stuff away and keep things out of the landfill. In March, we were having our floors refinished and new wood added to the remaining part of the house. I had a fair bit of carpet that was being removed. As each room was emptied, I posted that piece of carpet on Free cycle and Kijiji. Surprisingly, all the carpet was picked up right away. Here’s an article by ‘This Old House’ called ’10 Uses For Old Carpet‘. I just thought it was interesting. I hope you consider giving stuff away and before sending to the landfill.

Glad you were able to find people who wanted your carpeting. We are moving and have made so many trips to the charity thrift store they know us by name. We also gave away some things from our patio by putting a sign on the bulletin board in our apt. community. Bob didn’t think anyone would want them, but they we gone in less than an hour after posting the sign. You never know what may appeal to someone else.
Good one. You never know……
