Who can join the ABSC Scheme?
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.

Confidential data handling
The ABSC will maintain the privacy of all confidential information provided by Scheme Members, Approved Recyclers, and other stakeholders of the ABSC.

Any sales data will be kept confidential and not shared with other members or the public unless on an aggregated and deidentified basis.
