California mattress recycling options include participating drop-off/collection locations and retailer take-back under applicable conditions. Availability, quantity, condition and access vary, so use the current programme and local service search.

Retailer take-back

When a new mattress is delivered, California rules/programme terms may provide an old-unit take-back route, subject to equivalent items, preparation, safety and delivery details. Confirm during purchase and place the service on the order.

Drop-off or collection

Use Bye Bye Mattress/CalRecycle-linked resources to find participating locations or events. Check residency, quantity, hours, accepted mattresses/box springs, wet/infested/damaged exclusions and whether commercial loads qualify.

Prepare

Keep the mattress dry and accessible. Follow the receiving site’s instructions and do not leave it outside a closed facility.

FAQs

How do retailer and drop-off routes differ?

Retailer take-back is tied to delivery/terms; drop-off uses a participating site or event you transport to.

Where do I check acceptance?

The current programme locator and the chosen site/retailer directly.

Suggested component

Use a California Mattress Route Launcher to official current locators; do not store static availability.
