Pad Recycling
The carpet pad recycling industry continues to be as successful as it has been for the past several years. At Hanks we not only try to give you the opportunity to help the environment but also the chance to save money and even make a profit by bringing in your old, used carpet cushion. We accept dry, debris free polyurethane foam padding (also known as "rebond" pad) and pay out on a per pound basis. Please contact the Hanks location nearest you for our current pay out rate.
This service is available at all Hank's Specialties locations.
