Bill	Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act: mattress recycling charge: consumer education.	The Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, authorizes a mattress recycling organization to be established by a qualified industry association to develop, implement, and administer a used mattress recycling program in the state. The act requires the organization to develop and submit to the department for approval a plan, including an annual budget to implement the plan, for the recovery and recycling of used mattresses. The act requires the plan to include, among other things, providing outreach efforts and education to consumers, manufacturers, and retailers, for the purpose of promoting the recycling of used mattresses and options available to consumers for the free dropoff or collection of used mattresses. The act requires the organization to set the state mattress recycling charge, which is added to the purchase price of a mattress, at an amount sufficient to fund the program. The act requires the charge to be clearly visible on the invoice, receipt, or functionally equivalent document by the seller to the consumer as a separate line item.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20252026	AB 1478	California AB 1478 (20252026)	bill	UsedMattressRecoveryandRecyclingAct consumereducation mattressrecyclingcharge	enacted	Hoover	7	24	6	2025-02-21	2025-07-28	openstates	ocd-bill/aee18328-616b-49b1-8481-5b790e208a27	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1478	18f5a193ac1afe0a59127df64939976d2abf561e503cfb3de7443b9ec2a3674a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
