"Mattress Stewardship Act;" requires mattress producers to join stewardship organization and implement mattress stewardship program.

This bill requires mattress producers in New Jersey to join a stewardship organization that will implement a program for environmentally sound management of discarded mattresses. The program will be funded by a stewardship assessment added to the price of new mattresses, which retailers must collect at point of sale. Stewardship organizations must submit detailed plans to the Department of Environmental Protection, including collection locations, recycling targets, and budget information. Retailers and renovators must register with a stewardship organization and provide consumers with information about mattress collection opportunities. The goal is to reduce mattress waste in landfills by creating a system for proper collection, recycling, and disposal of discarded mattresses.
