Once synthetic turf is removed, we can repurpose it in several different ways including sheet goods, rugs, carpet backing, mats and more.
Sand infill from the synthetic turf product is mechanically taken out from the turf, separated and then put through a cleansing process. The infill can then be used in future fields or used as materials for new products.
Shaw has recycled over half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two advanced recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.

live in the synthetic grass. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be entirely pest-free, you can be sure they will be virtually
eliminated. Because there isn’t any soil to

buildup of leaves or debris that can
make a good breeding environment for ticks and
fleas. As long as you maintain your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be very few
pests.

to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there are no lingering odors remain. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts water and white vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the SWG system was not used.
