California, Connecticut and Rhode Island have enacted laws that require establishment of a mattress recycling program in their respective states. Companies selling mattresses or box springs to consumers in these states must collect from the customer a recycling fee for each mattress or box spring sold, and remit the fees to the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC). The recycling fees vary by state and are set forth below. Further information can be found at http://mattressrecyclingcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/MRC-ConsumerQuestions-FINAL.pdf.
| STATE FEE PER ITEM | |
|---|---|
| California | $10.50 |
