Texan Floor Service To Begin Carpet Reclamation

Houston, TX, May 18, 2009--Texan Floor Service will open a full time carpet reclamation center on June 1.

The center will accept all types and brands of used carpet from both the commercial and residential markets.

"We've made this important commitment because it's the right thing to do," says Jeff Hill, president of Texan Floor Service.

"We are excited to be the first commercial flooring contractor in the Houston area to offer complete carpet reclamation and are proud to label ourselves a 'zero- carpet-to-landfill' company."

Texan Floor will open the reclamation center with the assistance of Texas Carpet Recycling (TCR), located in Grapevine, Texas. The program is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) compliant, works within the green initiatives set forth by CARE and operates according to local compliance regulations and federal mandates.

TCR offers end-users, dealers and mills an alternative to landfills. Through TCR, the old carpet is received, tested and will begin its transformation into new "green" flooring products, consumer and industrial parts or converted into energy.

Through the program, no useful part of the old flooring will go to waste.

"Carpet never decomposes," says Stacy Dobbs, director of business development with Texan Floor Service.

"That's why it's so important that we take the lead in the Houston area for complete residential and commercial carpet reclamation."
