Old carpet does not look like much until it has to leave the house. A 13×12 bedroom holds more square footage of carpet than people expect, and once it is pulled up — torn padding, tack strips, staples, and rolled-up sections that weigh far more than they look — it becomes a hauling problem rather than a flooring problem.
Our team handles carpet removal and disposal across Lubbock TX, picking up pulled-up carpet from renovations, flooring replacements, and basement cleanouts. Same day available. Firm upfront pricing.
What Carpet Removal in Lubbock TX Covers
✅ Pulled-up carpet sections, rolled or loose
✅ Carpet padding underneath
✅ Tack strips and staples mixed in
✅ Multiple rooms in one pickup
✅ Curbside pickup or full property haulingOne distinction matters here: this is pickup and disposal of carpet you have already removed — not tear-out labor. If the carpet is still down and attached to the floor, that is a separate flooring service. We step in once it is pulled up and ready to leave the property. Get Your Free Quote →
Carpet Removal Cost Lubbock TX
Carpet removal and disposal costs in Lubbock typically start around $89 for a standard pickup, with the final price depending on volume — how much carpet, padding, and tack strip material fills the truck.
| Job Size | What It Covers | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Single room | One bedroom worth of carpet + pad | $89 — $150 |
| Two to three rooms | Multiple bedrooms or living areas | $150 — $275 |
| Whole house | Full home recarpeting project | $275 — $450 |
| Basement cleanout — carpet included | Larger packed basement | $300 — $500 |
For comparison, removal and disposal pricing by square yard typically runs $1 to $4 per square yard when handled as part of a flooring project, separate from the volume-based pricing most junk removal companies in Lubbock TX use.

Why Carpet Disposal Is Trickier Than It Looks
Weight — A single rolled-up room of
carpet plus padding can weigh 50 to
100+ pounds, awkward to carry alone
Volume — Carpet takes up significant
truck space relative to its weight,
which affects pricing more than
people expect
Tack strips — Sharp metal strips with
nails are often still attached to
edges, a real injury risk if handled
without gloves
Disposal restrictions — Many standard
trash services will not take large
carpet rolls, and curbside bulk pickup
programs often exclude it entirelyCarpet Recycling in Lubbock TX
Carpet fiber can often be recycled
into new products rather than going
straight to landfill
Our process:
→ Carpet sorted by material type
where possible
→ Recyclable carpet sent to
appropriate facility
→ Padding and tack strip material
to South Plains Landfill
→ Less carpet waste in Lubbock

FAQ — Carpet Removal Lubbock TX
Q: How much does carpet removal cost in Lubbock TX?
Pricing typically starts around $89 for a single room of pulled-up carpet. Two to three rooms run $150 to $275. A whole house recarpeting project runs $275 to $450. Pricing is based on volume, not weight.
Q: Do you remove carpet that is still attached to the floor?
No — that falls under carpet tear-out, which a flooring contractor typically handles. We pick up and dispose of carpet that has already been pulled up and is ready to leave the property.
Q: Is carpet recycled or does it all go to the landfill?
We sort carpet by material where possible and send recyclable carpet to the appropriate facility. Padding and tack strip material that cannot be recycled goes to South Plains Landfill.
Q: Is same day carpet pickup available in Lubbock TX?
Yes, most days, as long as the carpet is already pulled up and accessible for loading. Call with room count and location for a fast quote.
Q: Can you pick up carpet along with other renovation debris?
Yes. Bundling carpet with drywall, old fixtures, or lumber from the same renovation in one pickup is typically more cost-effective than separate trips.
Q: Do you handle tack strips and staples left in the carpet?
Yes. Our crew handles tack strips and staples safely during loading — you do not need to remove them separately before pickup.
