Recycling project gets big bounce from mattresses

You might normally find money under a mattress but it’s the materials in the mattress itself which have helped get a new recycling business off the ground.

Cork’s Lord Mayor, Cllr Mary Shields, has officially launched Boomerang Recycling in Ballyvolane.

Six people on the TUS Scheme are now working in the new venture which deconstructs used mattresses and diverts the material for re-use or recycling.
