Caption: Representatives from IKEA and Mother Earth Recycling joined Jobs and the Economy minister Kevin Chief and dozens of Point Douglas residents to celebrate the launch of Winnipeg’s first mattress recycling program. This initiative will divert thousands of mattresses from landfills while creating new jobs for local people with employment barriers. The provincial government provided Mother Earth Recycling support to begin operating at 771 Main Street and will also help with training and wage subsidies for employees. Mother Earth Recycling is now recycling used mattresses collected by IKEA and plans to begin accepting mattress drop-offs from the public in late 2017.
