Dear Emma Kilmurray
Thank you for your recent request for environmental information held by
Denbighshire County Council received 06/09/2023, regarding mattress
recycling.
As set out by the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 it will be
our aim to respond to your request by 04/10/2023. In some cases, however,
we may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this occurs, we will advise
you of the likely timescale within which the response will be provided.
Under the Environmental Information Regulations, the Council may charge up

charge for disbursement costs (e.g. photocopies, postage). However, should
there be any such costs, you will be notified of this prior to the
commencement of any work.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further advice or guidance
relating to the above.
