California Carpet Stewardship Program
The mission of CARE is to advance market-based solutions that increase landfill diversion and recycling of post-consumer carpet, encourage design for recyclability and meet meaningful goals as approved by the CARE Board of Directors.
Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) serves as the stewardship organization administering the California Carpet Stewardship Program, which promotes and expands carpet recycling and reclamation throughout California. Their work includes providing public Drop-off Sites in all of the state's 58 counties, increasing quantities collected for recycling and reuse, expanding markets for recycling products, and reaching the previous statutory recycling rate goal.
