A couple of enterprising businessmen came up with a great idea to cut the rug\u00a0 \u2013 Again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Again company<\/a> recycles carpet and it is right on the forefront of the green movement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Kent-based company recycles carpet, all carpets, and their warehouse is stacked to the ceiling with more coming everyday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The idea for the company began with a couple of entrepreneurs, Bill Betts and his partner Mark Murphy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Betts said the two were looking for a business opportunity, and after researching the idea realized, \u201cit needed to be done and it\u2019s rewarding. The state and the community were pushing for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Betts said what ended up in landfills is now being processed and recycled.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Some of the uses for the recycled material includes material for the auto industry, plastics and turning it back into carpet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take in all carpet,\u201d Betts said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The carpet recycling business is advancing rapidly where all carpet material will soon be recycled for a variety of products.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Betts said along with plastic bottles, recycled carpet is also used in the cement industry and as part of a filtration system for oil clean ups.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Carpets can be dropped off at the warehouse or Again will pick up carpet. There is a cost for dropping off carpet, but according to Betts it is considerably less expensive than hauling the material to the dump. There is also a charge for picking up carpet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The company is open 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Again is at 21255 76th Ave. S. in Kent. They can be contacted by phone at 253-981-6675 or email at wb@againco.com. The company website is www.againco.com\/.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
