old carpet
 
It can be used in the garden as a weed supressor.It can also be used as a heat retainer if you have pallet or wooden type compost bin or as covering if you have a compost pit.

thanks Dee, but we're moving & im looking for somewhere I can bring it out of here, as I dont think recycling centres accept it. Dont know what to do with it!

Hi monalitto

If there are allotments around you they might take it, as it can be used as a weed suppressor as dee1 said or for making pathways (just cover with bark or chippings). Might be worth a try?

Hi Monalitto. If you're in the Limerick area I have a number you can ring,they will take it. They will charge you. Let me know and I'll PM it on to you.

interesting making a pathway - variations?
 
in a new 2nd home recently for a disabled person, the paving outside the back door, large square area was slightly uneven and i worried about this, could we use old carpet here and cover it with something, chippings may prove a bit unstable for the persons footing in this instance?
any suggestions for covering the old carpets bar, chippings, bark or gravel?
