Getting rid of your old carpet has never been easier with Maryland Pickers. We have a simple and straightforward process to ensure a hassle-free experience for our customers:
- Schedule an Appointment: The first step in our carpet removal process involves a thorough assessment of your space and the carpet that needs to be removed. Our team visits your location to evaluate the scope of the work, considering factors like the size of the carpeted area, type of carpet, and any specific challenges such as tight spaces or delicate flooring underneath.
- Get a Free Estimate: Based on this assessment, we provide a transparent and detailed quote. This quote is comprehensive, covering all aspects of the removal process with no hidden costs, ensuring that our clients can make informed decisions without any surprises.
- Removal of items: Once the project is underway, our first task is to carefully move any furniture or obstacles to ensure a clear working area. This step is carried out with utmost care to prevent any damage to your belongings or the surrounding space. Following this, our team begins the carpet removal process.
- Responsible Disposal: After the carpet is removed, our team removes any remnants of carpet padding, leaving the space clean and ready for your next flooring installation. The final step involves the responsible disposal or recycling of the removed carpet. We are committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that the carpets are either recycled or disposed of in a way that minimizes environmental impact.
Eco-Friendly Disposal
At Maryland Pickers, we believe in doing our part to protect the environment. Our approach to eco-friendly disposal of items is based on a hierarchy of options that prioritize donation and recycling over landfill disposal.
Our Approach
- Donation: The first step in our disposal process is to identify items that are in good condition and can be used by others. These items are donated to local charities, helping to support our community and reduce waste.
- Recycling: The next step is to identify items that can be recycled. This includes a wide range of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and electronics. We work with local recycling centers to ensure that these items are processed and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
- Responsible Disposal: Finally, any items that cannot be donated, recycled, or repurposed are disposed of responsibly at a licensed landfill.
We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our carpet removal services. By donating and recycling as many items as possible, we are able to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and contribute to a more sustainable future.
