Conservation program benefits NY landfills.

Consolidated Carpet is proud to announce the success of its ConServe Reclamation Program, which kept over 692,741 pounds of used flooring materials out of landfills in 2007. Since the 1980s, Consolidated Carpet's goal of diverting material from landfills and supporting environmentally conscious practices of reuse has been recognized as one of the leading carpet reclamation programs nationally. This year, the firm aims to divert over 1,000,000 pounds of used materials from landfills.

In 2007, Consolidated Carpet collected over 98,000 yards of carpet and the from various locations including Commerzbank at 1 World Financial Center, Credit Suisse at 11 Madison Avenue and the Pfizer Conference Center in Ryebrook, New York. A single carpet reclamation program could provide a renewed means of use for anywhere from several hundred to several thousands of yards that would have been disposed in a non-environmentally sound manner.

The ConServe Program also donates used flooring to charitable organizations such as the YMCA in Mamaroneck, New York and the Nazareth House in Downtown Manhattan.
