TIL most carpet padding recycling programs are just for show.
In my experience, the hassle outweighs the environmental benefit for most installs.

It's just feel-good theater that wastes everyone's time.

Remembered my buddy tried to do the green thing with his old pad last year. He drove it to the special drop-off bin at the recycling center across town. The guy working there told him flat out that most of it just gets tossed in the landfill anyway because the market for the recycled stuff is so bad. All that extra fuel he burned driving it over there kinda canceled out the good he was trying to do, you know? Felt pretty pointless.
