The role of local government
Local government (Councils) currently provide a range of mattress collection, recycling, and waste management services. Councils can become Industry Partners of the ABSC, and if relevant, a Council may become an ABSC Approved Mattress Recycler.
Flexible fee structure
Scheme Members have the option to pay either an annual fee OR a per-mattress levy.
Confidential data handling
All financial data is aggregated by William Buck – an independent accounting and advisory service, ensuring that individual business data remains confidential and secure.
