How Our Carpet Removal & Disposal Works

Removing old carpet doesn’t have to be stressful. At Pure Disposal, we follow a simple, transparent 5-step process that keeps your home safe and your project on schedule. From the first call to final cleanup, here’s exactly how our team gets the job done:

Step 1

Request Your Quote

Call, text, or book online. Share a few photos or room counts, plus any notes (stairs, glued-down areas, water damage). We’ll give a quick, upfront estimate and arrival window.

Step 2

On-Time Arrival & Prep

We arrive with floor protection, cutters, pry bars, pliers, and bags. After a brief walk-through, we protect surfaces and plan clean removal paths to the exit.

Step 3

Tear-Out & Sectioning

We lift a starting edge with pliers, cut carpet into 2–4 ft wide strips, roll and tape, then remove padding (stapled or glued) and pull tack strips as needed.

Step 4

Load, Haul & Eco-Dispose

Rolled carpet and padding are loaded safely. We prioritize padding recycling and follow local rules for carpet disposal.

Step 5

Final Sweep & Review

We sweep/spot-vac to remove dust and staples, then walk the space with you to confirm it’s ready for installers.

We Make Carpet Removal Simple

Removing carpet is messy, dusty, and tough on your back—especially if it’s glued down, water-damaged, or full of staples and tack strips. Pure Disposal handles the full-service carpet removal so you don’t have to: we move lightweight items as needed, cut carpet into manageable sections, pull padding and tack strips, bag up debris, and haul everything away for proper disposal or recycling. You get a room that’s ready for installers—no heavy lifting, no trips to the curb, no scratching your floors or baseboards.

Need it fast? We offer same-day and next-day appointments. Prefer curbside? We can pick up pre-rolled carpet and padding from your driveway or garage. Want a hands-off solution? Choose in-home removal and our team will do it all.

What you’ll love:

  • Upfront, transparent pricing you approve before we start
  • Floor and doorway protection and careful handling on stairs
  • Clean work: sweep/spot-vac the area after tear-out
  • Eco-responsible approach: recycle padding where possible
  • Local expertise: we understand Fort Myers bulk rules (e.g., weekly limits not to exceed ~4 cubic yards and no placing items curbside more than ~24 hours before scheduled pickup—private pickup with us avoids those headaches)

From residential to commercial, Pure Disposal is the easy way to get old carpet out—and your new floor in.

Residential & Commercial Carpet Removal

Residential: Bedrooms, living rooms, stairs, closets, and hallways—we remove carpet quickly and carefully so installers can start on schedule. We can coordinate with your flooring company to align tear-out and install dates. Condo? We work with HOAs and provide COI if needed.

Commercial: Offices, retail spaces, medical suites, and common areas. We stage materials, section & stack for efficient loading, and can schedule off-hours or phased tear-outs to reduce downtime. Glued-down carpet? We bring the tools and technique to lift it cleanly and manage debris.

Eco-Friendly Disposal

We’re committed to responsible carpet disposal. When possible, we recycle padding and route carpet per local guidelines. Some rug/carpet materials can’t be recycled locally; in those cases, we ensure proper disposal at approved facilities. Prefer to stage reusable area rugs for donation? Tell us—we’ll separate items that are clean and in good condition. Our goal is simple: divert what we can, dispose responsibly, and keep your project clean end-to-end.

Local Reputation You Can Trust

As a Fort Myers-based, family-run business, we value community trust above all. Our 5-star reviews reflect our professionalism, fair pricing, and fast response times on every call.

Carpet Mold, Water Damage & Safety

Wet or musty carpet isn’t just unpleasant—it can harbor mold, bacteria, and odors that affect indoor air quality. If your carpet has been wet for 48+ hours, the padding can hold moisture and damage subfloors, especially over wood. Our team is trained to safely remove soaked carpet and padding, bag contaminated materials, and minimize dust/aerosolization during tear-out. If we spot signs of active mold, we’ll flag it and can coordinate with your water/mold remediation pro so removal and treatment happen in the right order.

For glued-down carpet (common on slabs and in commercial spaces), we use sharp blades, scrapers, and controlled sectioning to lift the material without gouging the subfloor. Adhesive residue is common; your flooring installer may address remaining adhesive per their prep specs. If you need us to remove and haul additional adhesive waste from prepping, let us know in advance.

Why professional removal matters:

  • Health: reduces allergen/mold exposure and odors.
  • Safety: avoids utility-knife injuries and staple/tack strip punctures.
  • Subfloor protection: proper technique prevents gouges and delamination.
  • Speed: rooms cleared faster so installers keep timeline.
  • Compliance: Fort Myers curb rules (volume & timing) are easy to violate; a private pickup avoids rejection and re-work.

We quickly and effectively remove carpet, padding, and tack strips so you can start fresh with new LVP, tile, or hardwood—safely.

Health, Safety & Air Quality Benefits

Old carpet collects dust, dander, pollen, and odors; water exposure can fuel mildew and mold. Frayed seams and ripples are trip hazards, and tack strips/staples can injure DIYers. Professional removal reduces allergens, improves air quality, and protects your subfloor. Our process keeps debris controlled, protects surfaces, and limits dust spread with clean cuts, rolling, and bagging. We finish with a sweep/spot-vac so your room feels clean and your installer can start without delays. If you’re upgrading to LVP, tile, or hardwood, getting the old carpet out properly and quickly preserves timelines and helps your new floor perform like it should.

DIY Preparation Tips

Preparing for carpet removal helps us work faster and protect your property. Before our crew arrives:

  • Clear all small furniture, decor, and cords from the room.
  • If you’ve started the tear-out yourself, cut carpet into 2–4 ft strips, roll tightly, and tape securely.
  • Keep pets and children out of the work area for safety.
  • For curbside pickups, stage rolled carpet and padding neatly in your garage or driveway.
  • If your carpet is wet, glued down, or has mold, let us know so we bring the right gear.

Pro Tip: DIYing? Always wear gloves, long sleeves, and a mask to avoid cuts and dust exposure. Don’t yank carpet—use pliers to lift edges and cut slowly with a sharp utility knife.

Why Remove Old Carpet?

Old carpet doesn’t just make your home look dated—it can actually impact your health and comfort. Over time, it traps allergens, pet hair, and odors that no deep cleaning can remove. In Florida’s humid climate, damp carpet quickly becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can spread beneath the padding and damage your subfloor.

Removing it professionally ensures every layer—from carpet to tack strips—is safely cleared, leaving behind a clean, dry foundation for your next flooring project. It also prevents injuries from loose seams or curled edges and boosts your home’s appeal for potential buyers or tenants. Simply put, professional carpet removal is the first step toward a cleaner, safer, more modern home.

Why Hire a Professional vs. DIY?

  • Speed & Cleanliness: We section, roll, and bag with minimal dust, then sweep so the room is truly ready.
  • Safety: Tack strips and utility knives cause common DIY injuries; our crew uses PPE, floor protection, and two-person handling.
  • Subfloor Protection: Correct technique avoids gouges and delamination; mistakes can cost more than the removal itself.
  • Stairs & Tight Spaces: We manage turns, landings, and elevators safely—no wall scuffs.
  • Glued-Down Expertise: Proper tools and patience mean cleaner removal and less adhesive mess.
  • Compliance: Skip municipal limits (no more than ~4 cubic yards, no curb placement over ~24 hours early). We haul same-day.

One Visit, Done: Add furniture/appliance removal or construction debris and finish everything together.

Signs It’s Time to Remove Carpet

Old carpet can do more harm than you realize. Beyond fading and wear, it can trap dust, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria, worsening allergies and indoor air quality. Persistent odors, visible stains, and ripples that create tripping hazards are also red flags. If your carpet feels damp or smells musty, it’s often hiding mold or mildew, especially in Florida’s humidity.

Replacing it early prevents subfloor damage, eliminates hidden allergens, and helps your home feel cleaner and healthier. Even if you’re planning a remodel, removing your carpet first ensures better installation results for new flooring like vinyl, tile, or hardwood.

  • Persistent odors or musty smells
  • Ripples/waves or delamination (trip risk)
  • Stains that return after cleaning
  • Allergy flare-ups in carpeted rooms
  • Water damage or visible mildew
  • Planning a flooring upgrade soon

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Carpet Removal & Disposal in Fort Myers? Here are answers to the most common ones our customers ask before booking.

How much does it cost to remove carpet?

Most customers fall into our 1/4 to 1/2 trailer range, depending on rooms and padding. We price by truck volume, not hours. Stairs, glued-down areas, or heavy adhesive waste can add small labor adjustments, which we disclose before any work. Text us room photos for a fast estimate; we confirm on-site so you approve with confidence.

A typical 12×12 room of standard carpet + padding often fits within our Minimum to 1/4 trailer—actual price depends on access, stairs, glued sections, and tack-strip removal needs. Multi-room projects usually land in the 1/2 trailer tier or higher.

Yes—if it’s staple/tack-strip install and a small area. Use gloves, eye protection, and a mask. Start a corner with needle-nose pliers, cut 2–4 ft strips, roll/tape, then pry tack strips and pull staples. Glued-down or water-damaged carpet is much harder—professional removal is safer and usually faster.

DIY tear-out and curbside bulk is often best if your address is eligible and within weekly limits (not to exceed ~4 cubic yards, and don’t place items curbside more than ~24 hours before pickup). If you want certainty, speed, and indoor service, private pickup with us is the safe, predictable option.

Yes—as needed. We pull tack strips and staples so the floor is ready for installers. If you only want carpet/padding removed and prefer to leave strips for your installer, tell us; we’ll adjust scope and price.

We do. Glued-down removal requires scrapers and controlled sectioning. Adhesive residue is normal; most flooring installers include final surface prep. If you want us to haul additional adhesive waste, let us know up front.

We offer same-day and next-day appointments most days. Early morning, evening, and weekend slots are available—just ask when booking.

We prioritize recycling padding where possible and dispose of carpet responsibly per local rules. If a clean area rug can be donated, we’ll separate it on request.

Absolutely. We’ll time tear-out so your installer can start promptly, and we’ll keep paths clear and clean so the crew moves fast.

Tell us about stairs/elevators, tight hallways, parking, glued areas, water damage, and any HOA/COI requirements. Clear info = accurate quote and perfect prep.
