California AB1478 requires mattress sellers to add a recycling charge to the purchase price and educate consumers on recycling options.

California AB1478 amends the Public Resources Code to establish a mattress recycling program. It mandates that manufacturers, renovators, retailers, or distributors add a recycling charge to the purchase price of mattresses, which must be clearly visible on invoices or receipts. Distributors, retailers, or sellers may directly pay the charge to a mattress recycling organization if they have a written agreement. These entities must also educate consumers about recycling options. The charges collected are to be remitted to the mattress recycling organization according to its procedures.
