Oregon's Bye Bye Mattress Program Expands Recycling Access
The Mattress Recycling Council is a nonprofit organization created by the bedding industry to operate statewide mattress recycling programs in jurisdictions that have enacted mattress recycling laws.
Its Bye Bye Mattress program currently operates in Oregon, California, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The organization reports recycling nearly 2 million mattresses annually.
Oregon's program began operating in January 2025. It is financed through a state-approved stewardship assessment collected when new mattresses and box springs are sold. The current Oregon assessment is $22.50 per unit.
The funding supports mattress collection locations, recycling events, transportation and processing services across the state.
Second Mattress Collection Scheduled in Linn County
A second mattress collection opportunity is scheduled for the same day in Linn County at Mari-Linn School in Lyons.
That event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 641 5th St., Lyons. The Mattress Recycling Council's Bye Bye Mattress program will participate alongside a PaintCare paint recycling event.
Households attending the Lyons event may drop off up to five mattresses or box springs at no cost.
