San Francisco-based Recology received a $10,000 grant from the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) to fund equipment and infrastructure improvements aiming to increase the recyclability of discarded mattresses.
MRC has awarded more than $120,000 in grant funding to 15 mattress collection sites throughout the state of California. The funds will be used for equipment and infrastructure improvements to increase the recyclability of discarded mattresses and box springs by providing weather protection, or to achieve other efficiencies such as lowering costs and improving safety.
