Contract Type FiledAugust 9th, 2002Public Works has been recycling mattresses at County disposal sites for many years, diverting most of them from landfill disposal. Since November 8,2000, our recycling vendor has been the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Inc. This non-profit corporation expanded a successful mattress recycling facility they originally set up in their home base of Eugene, Oregon, by establishing DR3 in Oakland, California, early in the year 2000. At the Oakland DR3 facility, whose acronym stands for “divert, reduce, reuse, recycle,” employees disassemble mattresses and box springs into their component parts including wood, steel, cotton batting, foam rubber, and fabric. Each of these materials is shipped to a scrap recycler that utilizes the commodity as a feedstock for a new product.
