About Mother Earth Recycling
Mother Earth Recycling Inc.(MER) is an Indigenous Social Enterprise in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Our mission is to provide meaningful employment and training opportunities to the urban Indigenous community through environmentally sustainable initiatives.
- Chief Seattle
MER began in 2012 as a partnership between Neeginan Centre, the Centre for Aboriginal Human Resource Development, and the Aboriginal Council of Winnipeg, as a place for community members to find training and job opportunities, while providing a much-needed service to the City.
As a trusted partner to government agencies, non-profits, and private corporations, MER offers mattress, box springs, and e-waste pickup and drop off from residential homes, businesses, and industries across Manitoba.
Our mattress recycling program has been operating for more than 10 years and continues to grow, supported by our devoted ownership, increasing participation from Manitobans, strong partnerships with government and the waste management sector, and the commitment of responsible businesses across the province. We also provide e-waste, battery, and bulb collection as a depot for our allies at EPRA, Product Care, and Call2Recycle.
