Welcome to the MRC Online Registration and Reporting System
California, Connecticut and Rhode Island have enacted laws requiring the mattress industry to establish a mattress
recycling program in each of these states. You may be required to register with MRC, depending on where you conduct
business. Companies selling mattresses and box springs to consumers in these states must collect recycling fees on
all mattress sales and remit the fees to MRC monthly.
Each state has different registration requirements:
Connecticut
Each company that produces, imports or distributes mattresses for sale in the state must join MRC. To join, you must register online with MRC through this system.
As of May 1, 2015, businesses selling mattresses must collect a $9 recycling fee on each mattress or box spring sold to Connecticut consumers.
Rhode Island
Each company that produces, imports or distributes mattresses for sale in the state must join MRC. To join, you must register online with MRC through this system.
The Rhode Island program began on May 1, 2016. As of May 1, 2016, businesses selling mattresses must collect a $10 recycling fee on each mattress or box spring sold to Rhode Island consumers.
California
Each company that produces, imports, distributes, or renovates mattresses for sale in the state must register online with MRC through this system.
Businesses selling mattresses must collect an $11 recycling fee on each mattress or box spring sold to California consumers as of December 30, 2015.
Businesses that do not register by December 30, 2015 will be unable to sell their products in California and may result in financial and/or civil penalties.
After December 30, 2015, a producer, renovator or retailer may not sell, distribute, or offer for sale a mattress in California unless it has registered with MRC and is in compliance with the law.
UNDER THESE LAWS, STATES MAY PROHIBIT YOUR MATTRESSES OR BOX SPRINGS FROM BEING SOLD TO CONSUMERS IN THESE STATES IF YOU FAIL TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS.
There is no cost to register with MRC.
