Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a mattress recycling program in the Commonwealth to manage discarded mattresses through environmentally sound practices. It requires mattress producers and retailers to pay a fee, known as a stewardship assessment, which funds a nonprofit organization responsible for collecting and recycling these items. The program mandates that basic collection services be offered to consumers at no cost, while the department of environmental protection oversees program plans and ensures recyclers meet specific performance standards.
