Traditional open top dumpster with carpet The primary requirements to keeping our prices low is to keep the carpet dry. We therefore provide you with overseas containers that have been modified for the task. They come in either 20' or 40' lengths. The 20' model holds 50 cubic yards and the 40' unit has 100 cubic yards. All of our containers have wheels to protect pavement. Also, these containers have barn doors at one end that can be locked to prevent midnight dumpers. And loading is easy... instead of having to throw stuff over the side of an open top dumpster, you just walk the material in and pile it up. Or we can get you a traditional open top dumpster if that is what you really need.
How much carpet goes to the landfill each year?

What kinds of products are made from old carpet?
Old carpet is going into composite lumber (both decking and sheets), tile backer board, roofing shingles, railroad ties, automotive parts, carpet cushion, stepping stones, etc. Many of these products last far longer than those they replace and avoid the cutting down of trees or the use of chemicals as preservatives. You can help keep carpet out of landfills by requesting these products or specifying these products in your projects. Recovery of the energy content from old carpet, since it is made from crude oil as a raw material, is also an important outlet.
