Hello World! Welcome Friends! Choosing to replace the carpet in your home can range from a quick and easy job for small spaces such as a small WC to larger tasks that can take up the whole day and require a team of people to uplift and dispose of the old carpet or flooring you are removing.
One such problem that people face when replacing an old carpet is disposing of the old carpet. In many cases, simply putting it in your household bin to be collected alongside your household rubbish won’t be allowed, and as such, you are then left with an old carpet taking up space in your home.
What are the best ways to dispose of your old carpet?
Carpet Collection
If you are looking for cheap carpet disposal, why not list the carpet you are looking to have removed on all listings boards. Detail the type of carpet you need to dispose of, the conditions, size and whether or not the collector needs to uplift the carpet themselves and remove any fittings such as grips. You will then be contacted by someone looking to remove the carpet for you for the posted fee.
Skip Hire
Skip hire has long been the go-to option in the UK for people looking to dispose of a large amount of carpet, for example, stripping carpets from a large house. Skips are a great way to dispose of old carpets and other items you no longer want at your home. The only drawback is skips can be expensive, and they need to be placed on your property in an accessible place or on the road. Make sure you have the right permissions and access before booking a skip hire.
Local Council
Many councils run a bulky waste collection service in their areas to remove items that are too big to go in your household waste bins. They usually have restrictions on what can be accepted and how much they will take. Your local council may charge a fee for this service and have their own regulations and restrictions regarding the local waste management sites they run.
Retailer
In some cases, if you are replacing your carpet with a new one, the retailer you purchase your new carpet from or the fitter you employ can remove and dispose of your old carpet for a fee. This means the job will take longer as you need to factor in the time it takes to pull up all your old carpet. But it is always worth asking as it is a convenient option if the service is available.
Advertising your old carpet for sale on Facebook selling sites can put you in touch with people who are looking to use your old carpet or offer their services concerning removing old carpets. It is often a quick and easy way to get quotes, but it could be a time-consuming process as you wait for the right people to see your ad.
Making sure the method you choose to dispose of your old carpet is legal is vital as fly-tipping is illegal, and if the carpet is deposed in this manner, you could be liable for a fine. Always check for the right licenses to remove and dispose of carpets if you are unsure and the carpets aren’t going to be recycled or repurposed.
