Every year we recycle more than 1.5 million mattresses.
The Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) is a nonprofit organization formed by the mattress industry to operate recycling programs in states that have passed mattress recycling laws.
The program is currently running in California, Connecticut and Rhode Island and is known as Bye Bye Mattress to consumers. Each state’s program is funded by a recycling fee collected when consumers buy a mattress or box spring.
We are committed to educating the mattress industry about state’s mattress recycling laws and assisting retailers and manufacturers in complying with those laws. Through our work with local governments, waste management professionals, recyclers and others we have successfully developed accessible and efficient collection and recycling networks in our program states.
The Sleep Products Sustainability Program (SP2) helps California-based mattress manufacturers reduce waste and increase operational efficiencies. The program was developed as part of the industry’s commitment to environmental stewardship and complements MRC’s sustainability efforts. Training, program resources and certification are all offered at no-cost.
