A Bridgeport mattress recycling facility that would create up to 15 jobs for ex-offenders and other unemployed people could open for business in July, The Connecticut Post reports.
Slated to occupy the old Eastern Bag & Paper Co. building at 459 Iranistan Ave., the business would recycle up to 100,000 mattresses a year from around the state, ctpost.com reports.
The facility is modeled after a charity-based organization on the West Coast that uses waste-based businesses to generate money for its charitable services, the newspaper reports.
The revenues of the Bridgeport facility would also go toward nonprofit agencies, but the details are not final yet.
