Carpet Removal Cost in Venice, CA
Most people pay $150–$400. Updated for 2026.
Old carpet is deceptive. A room of it rolled up in Venice, CA looks like one manageable bundle and weighs far more than anyone expects — carpet plus underlay from a single bedroom often runs past 150 pounds.
It is also awkward: rolls do not bend, they do not fit in a car, and most collection services cap what they will take from a household by length and weight.
Carpet Removal in Venice: what actually moves the price
Prices for carpet removal do not change at a neighbourhood line, but disposal rules do — and Venice follows the rules of Los Angeles, CA, which is where the transfer stations, kerbside limits and any bulky-item appointment come from.
Pulling it up versus hauling it away
These are two different prices. If the carpet is already up and rolled, you are paying for a pickup. If the crew has to lift it, pull the underlay, remove tack strips and clear the staples, that is labor on top — and it is worth paying for, because tack strips are the part that reliably draws blood.
Cut it into manageable rolls
If you are lifting it yourself, cut the carpet into strips about three feet wide and roll them tight, then tape them. A tight roll takes a third of the truck space of a loose one and a single person can carry it. Loose folded carpet is what turns a half load into a full one.

Carpet Removal in Venice — common questions
How much does carpet removal cost in Venice?
Most people pay $150–$400. That is a national range for carpet removal, not a quote — your real price comes from local pros bidding on your photos, and it moves with volume, stairs and how far the item has to travel to the truck.
Will they pull the carpet up, or does it have to be ready?
Most will do both, but the price differs so say which you want. Lifting includes underlay, tack strips and staples; a crew that leaves tack strips behind has not finished the job and your new flooring installer will charge you to do it properly.
Is carpet recyclable?
Some is — nylon carpet can be reprocessed where a facility exists, and a few states run collection programs. In much of the country the realistic answer is landfill, and a pro who says so plainly is being straight with you rather than selling a green story.
What about padding and tack strips?
They go in the same load. Underlay is bulky but light, tack strips are sharp and get bundled separately for safety. Neither should cost extra beyond the labor of lifting them.
Do I have to carry it outside myself?
No. Pros do the lifting and loading — that labor is what you are paying for. Tell them where the item sits when you post the job, because stairs and long carries change the quote.
How quickly can it be picked up?
Quotes typically arrive within hours, and same-day or next-day pickup is common when a crew has room on the truck. You choose the date and time window that works for you.
What does JunkerClub charge me?
Nothing. Posting a job and collecting quotes is free, and you pay your pro directly when the work is done. The pro pays the platform a small fee only when they win the job — it never gets added to your price.
Who sets the bulky-waste and disposal rules in Venice?
Los Angeles does. Venice is a neighbourhood rather than a city of its own, so kerbside limits, bulky-item appointments and drop-off sites all come from Los Angeles. A private hauler can work here regardless of the boundary, but anything that depends on the municipality is the city's rule, not the neighbourhood's.
