Innovation in places you wouldn’t expect
The Bay Area is full of tech innovators, and seldom are the achievements of the entrepreneur who operates outside of Software, Internet or Biotech recognized. Ellen Raynor the owner/operator of SF Carpet Recycling is the kind of person I’m talking about. Full disclosure, Ellen is a close family friend, but I think you will agree her efforts are commendable in taking recycling to the next level.
SF Carpet Recycling is a collection site for post consumer carpet and carpet pad for the San Francisco Bay Area. Conveniently located in the 3rd Street corridor in the southeast part of San Francisco, we accept used carpet for the purpose of recycling.
For every 10 million pounds of post-consumer carpet recycled:
• 50,000 cubic yards of landfill space is saved
• 70 million pounds of GHG emissions are avoided (CO2 equivalents)
According to the 2006 CARE Annual Report
