Carpet Removal Is Harder Work Than It Looks
Carpet is glued down. Padding disintegrates when you try to roll it. Tack strips have nails pointing up waiting to puncture skin. The dust and debris created during removal fills rooms.
Most homeowners who start DIY carpet removal regret it within the first hour.
Clean Out Network has spent 20+ years removing carpet from homes and commercial properties throughout the country. Entire houses before hardwood installation. Individual rooms for renovation projects. Commercial buildings with thousands of square feet requiring complete clearing.
We have the tools for fast removal. Experience handling old carpet that falls apart as it’s pulled. Understanding of what disposal facilities accept carpet and how to prepare it for hauling.
You don’t spend days fighting with carpet that won’t cooperate. You don’t fill your vehicle with dusty, bulky rolls that smell like decades of accumulated life. We handle everything and your floors are ready for whatever comes next.
Most carpet cannot be recycled due to mixed materials and contamination from use.
Disposal:
Carpet, padding, and tack strips go to landfills accepting construction debris. Some facilities process carpet for fiber recovery but this is limited.
Why Carpet Is Hard to Recycle:
Mixed synthetic and natural fibers difficult to separate. Dirt, dust, stains accumulated over years. Adhesives and backing materials complicating processing.
We dispose at approved facilities in compliance with local regulations.

We quote based on project size:
- Single room – Bedroom, office, or similar sized room, standard carpet removal
- Multiple rooms – 2-4 rooms, living room, bedrooms, hallways
- Whole house – Complete home carpet removal, price depends on total square footage
