Think about it—almost four billion pounds of carpet thrown out every year. And much of it not because it’s worn out but because the facility’s being remodeled.

Perhaps you’ve decided that you don’t want to refurbish your carpet and continue to use it. But you feel guilty about creating more solid-waste landfill. And so you’re wondering about an alternative…

Well, there is one—one that lets you feel good about avoiding the environmental liability created by unnecessary solid waste and offers your company a tax break!

Your carpet can be cleaned, refurbished and donated to a charitable organization. There are many community service organizations that accept donations of goods in decent, usable condition. Habitat for Humanity is one such organization. Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization with hundreds of affiliates nationwide. With volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and renovates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner families.

If you decide this is what you’d like to do with your unwanted carpet RD Weis will arrange to have your carpet cleaned and refurbished. That way, your designated charity gets the donation of a like-new product while you get a tax break, avoid contributing to unnecessary landfill, and get to feel proud of your decision!
