California mattress disposal rules
These apply anywhere in California. Each one links to the page it came from.
- California mattress stewardship program run by Mattress Recycling Council (Bye Bye Mattress) under CalRecycle oversight. Residents can drop off used mattresses free at 240+ permanent sites (MRC: 99% of residents within 15 miles); about 100 free collection events a year; retailer take-back and municipal curbside pickup also listed. Locator: byebyemattress.com/find-a-facility. Source
- California mattress recycling fee is $18.00 per unit (mattress, futon or foundation) sold on or after April 1, 2026, up from $16.00. Must be a separate receipt line item; not subject to sales tax. Announcement dated December 16, 2025. Source
- PRC §42992: when a new mattress is delivered, the retailer must offer to pick up the used mattress for recovery at no additional cost (since July 1, 2014). Since January 1, 2021, for common-carrier/online deliveries the retailer must offer to arrange pickup within 30 days of delivery. Retailers may refuse contaminated mattresses posing a risk; delivery itself may still be charged. Source
- MRC funds an Illegally Dumped Mattress Collection Initiative ($1 million a year) plus pilot funding for local anti-dumping education/enforcement; MRC reports nearly 512,000 illegally disposed mattresses removed. Page points to a ByeByeMattress.com directory of cities offering free curbside pickup. Source
- CalRecycle's mattress page describes the state Mattress Stewardship Program and links the MRC facility locator and retailer take-back information. No statewide landfill disposal ban on mattresses is stated on this page. Source

35 optionsHow these guides are made
- Every listing is read off the provider's own page, dated, and approved for publication by a named person.
- Nothing is inferred: where a fee or a rule is not published, the page says so rather than guessing.
