<\/p>\nSan Andreas, CA…In order to enhance the County\u2019s diversion goals, the County\u2019s Public Works Department,
\nIntegrated Waste Management Division, has partnered with the Mattress Recycling Council to
\nrecycle mattresses and box springs at the Rock Creek Solid Waste Facility. There is no fee to
\nrecycle the mattresses and box springs under this program.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Beginning December 30th, 2015, residents can bring their mattresses and box springs to
\nthe Rock Creek Solid Waste Facility to be set aside for the recycling program. In order to be
\nable to divert these materials from our landfill, the County requires that these materials be
\nbrought to the Rock Creek facility and not at any of the County\u2019s Transfer Stations. The
\nmattresses and box springs taken to the Transfer Stations jam up the hoppers; they become
\nsoiled, crushed or twisted; and therefore unsuitable to be recycled and diverted under this
\nprogram.<\/p>\n
Background: California\u2019s Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act (enacted in 2013 and
\namended in 2014) requires mattress manufacturers to create a statewide recycling program
\nfor mattresses discarded in the state. The program is funded through an $11 recycling fee
\ncollected from consumers when a mattress or box spring is sold beginning on December 30,
\n2015. The Mattress Recycling Council (or MRC) is a non-profit organization established by
\nthe mattress industry that has been certified by CalRecycle to develop and administer the
\nprogram.<\/p>\n
Please contact the Public Works Program Coordinator, Yvonne Van Zee, if you have any
\nquestions about this program at (209) 785-1689 or yvanzee@co.calaveras.ca.us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
