State Grant Boosts Recycling At Klamath Works

One reason to recycle a mattress: metal.

Frustration with recycling remains elevated in the region.  China's decision to stop taking most American recyclables changed what some recyclers will accept at the curb. 

But the recycling spirit remains strong and committed.  Witness Klamath Works, which got a materials management grant from Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality to aid in its work recycling mattresses.  Marie Diodati from DEQ visits with details of the grants.
