California’s mattress recycling legislation has been signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown. The Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act requires a mattress recycling organization to be established by a qualified industry association to develop, implement, and administer a mattress recycling program, including the development of a state plan by July 1, 2015, for recycling used mattresses.

September 3, 2014:  Last week, the California Legislature passed a bill that requires manufacturers of furniture and other products that must meet the CA Technical Bulletin (TB) 117-2013 flammability standard to label their products as to whether they include added flame retardants. Since mattresses are not required to meet TB 117-2013, the law does not apply to those products. Governor Jerry Brown is expected to sign the measure.
