On September 1, CARE submitted the California Carpet Stewardship Program’s 2023 Annual Report to CalRecycle, highlighting a historically high recycling rate among other achievements. CalRecycle is accepting public comments on the Annual Report now through Friday, October 4, 2024.
As a result of CalRecycle's disapproval of Carpet America Recovery Effort's (CARE) five-year plan for 2023-2027, the differential assessment currently charged on carpet sold in California will not increase January 1, 2023, as previously announced. The current levels will remain in effect until further notice.
The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) and CalRecycle announced at a public meeting an updated assessment fee of 20 cents per square yard on all carpet sold or shipped in California, effective April 1.
