Improvements to Mattress Recycling Program
 

Kerri summarized information that will be going to council in June with a proposal to stop accepting mattresses at the Fenelon, Eldon, Laxton, and Sommerville landfill sites beginning in 2022. This will ensure all mattresses are recycled through the curbside pick up program or when brought to the Lindsay Ops landfill and will increase the amount of mattresses recycled per year by 2500 units. Education and advertising was discussed. Questions asked by PC members included where the extra operational costs would come from, how long would mattresses be outside at the curb, and if we could fit a mattress trailer at the Fenelon landfill.
