What's a good way for two college guys to find some cheap/free old carpet for the room?
We can pick it up and even tear it up if need be!

Look at Godfather II and you’ll know.

Go dig in the dumpster behing the Carpet Shop in your town or where they sell carpet. Sometimes people get good carpet that way for free. Done it before.

Go to a redneck bar…hahaha, no seriously though…you can find cheap if not used carpet at any carpet store. They normally have backstock or used carpet for good prices.

find places that do destruction see if they can help, when tearing down old buildings and offices there are plenty of carpets and such that get left behind

Go to any carpet outlet. When they install new carpet they rip out the old. Then just throw it in their dumpster. You’d be surprised how good a lot of it is. And it’s free

Ask family, friends.
If not.. then go to carpet stores.. Maybe they have scraps… um Swap Meets are a good place too. Or you can try a Junk yard?

Go to a carpet store and agree to help remove old carpet for free if you can have the carpet.

Look in the local newspaper, call a carpet store and see if they have pieces of any kind of carpet. Take all different colors and textures and make a carpet of many colors. Or see if there is a thrift store in town.

If you aren’t too picky…
Perhaps some apartment complexs will change out for new tenants.
Hotels/motels
Surplus stores
Good luck

Sometimes the carpet stores have leftovers on carpets that they can’t sell.
June 6th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
I recommend going to carpet stores/outlets and asking them what remnants they have for sale, cheap or even for free.
June 6th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Stop in at a carpet store and stalk around to you see someone purchasing. Ask them if you can buy or have their old carpet. Put an ad in the paper. Stick notes up at the local stores. Some people would be glad for you to get rid of the old carpet before they get the new.

Why not ask at the carpet warehouses if they have any remenants left over from a roll. Offer to pay. You never know you might even get it for free.
June 6th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Ring a couple of carpet layers in your area , let them know exactly what you want .. Do a no money changes hands kinda of deal.. Maybe a bottle of …..

Go to a thrift shop or Dig in the dumpster of a carpet shop, Also ask the carpet shop If they have any extra carpet you could take off there hands or that they are discontinuing and that you are two college guys that need some rugs. Haha …LOL. Also lots of people throw out carpet everyday. Chances are Carpet is real cheap at carpet shops. Carpet One Check adds in the newspaper, or you could go in person.

Sometimes people just leave it on the curb to be picked up after they get new carpet installed…I wouldn’t be shy and would take it!
When I lived in the dorms, I would check out Home Depot for sales and stuff. One year I bought a 10′ x 15′ all purpose carpet, gray, tightly woven (stuff you’d see in office buildings) for 20 bucks. Depending on how big your room is, you could get like two of them and put them side by side, and that would only be 40 dollars. You could also ask a store like Home Depot or Lowes if they are discarding old samples or such…piece enough of them together and you’d have an original looking carpet!

Many communities have bulk trash pick up days. Find out when/where they are in your community and drive the neighborhoods for cast-outs. Also if you can wait, you will find an abundance of thrown out carpet and furnishings at the semester move out dates around any college dorm complex.

Go to a carpet store or even a Home Depot/Lowes type store that sells carpet and ask for the remnants. These are pieces off the roll that were extra or miscut for a room and had to come back. They love to try and sell that stuff just to get rid of it so they dont’ have to throw it away. Remember to ask for the "remnants".

Apatment complexes change out their carpet when new tenants move in, check with apartments complexes around the first of the month to see if they have any old carpet they are getting rid of.

When I was a kid, the daycare I went to used to get the old carpet sample squares that the carpet store didn’t need anymore, then they would duct tape them all together to make a big carpet. It was actually kinda cool.

ask a carpet store if you can look at their remnants.
