What To Do With Your Old Pool Liner

If you’re planning to install a new pool liner, you might be wondering what to do with the old one. It’s not something you can just toss in the trash, as it’s likely too large and bulky to fit in a regular garbage can. 

We often get the question, “Can I leave the old vinyl liner in the pool when I replace it with a new pool liner?” The short answer is no. It is not a good idea to leave the old pool liner in your above ground pool when replacing the liner. Instead of adding extra protection, it actually will create more problems for you to complete the job. 

Since we advise people not to leave the old pool liner in their pool when replacing the liner, we recommend recycling the old pool liner when it is replaced.

Recycle Old Pool Liners

Recycling old pool liners is a great way to reduce waste and help protect the environment. Many pool liners are made of PVC, which is a recyclable material. By recycling your old pool liner, you can help conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills. 

To find a recycling facility that accepts pool liners, start by contacting your local waste management authority or recycling center. They can provide you with information about local recycling options and guidelines for preparing your old liner for recycling. 

You can also search online for companies that specialize in recycling pool liners. By taking the time to recycle your old pool liner, you can do your part to help protect the planet and preserve natural resources for future generations.

Installing a pool liner also requires you to redo or re-groom the bottom of the pool base and add a liner pad before installation. All the more reason to just recycle the old pool liner and start fresh.
