We are most interested in proposals focused on proving the technical feasibility of an innovation for achieving the targeted use for the recycled material.
We are unlikely to fund proposals to incinerate the reclaimed materials but might be interested in those that convert the material into new or synthetic fuels.
We are unlikely to fund projects to further develop research topics already receiving funding or that focus on existing uses of reclaimed mattress materials.
Illegal dumping of mattresses hurts communities and the environment. We provide options to help address this problem and educate the public about the right way to dispose of a used mattress.
Leading the Development of Solutions
We lead efforts to curb illegal dumping by investing in community outreach initiatives and collaborative problem-solving to address this persistent problem.
Making an Investment
We invest $1 million annually to fund the Illegally Dumped Mattress Collection Initiative in California. This program works with a network of partners to collect data on illegally dumped mattresses and then target affected communities for support.
Creating Awareness
We sponsor a public service announcement to encourage proper disposal and combat illegal mattress dumping. View our current TV and radio spots in the ByeByeMattress.com Media Center.
Industry-Leading Resources
We provide outreach material to help local governments educate residents about the right way to dispose of a used mattress and how to access our no-cost recycling program.
We also created a guide for policy makers looking for best practices in addressing the illegal dumping of durable waste, and lesson plan activities for those interested in educating youth about how to recycle properly and the impact of waste on the environment.
Funding New Solutions
We dedicate resources to implement and fund workable intervention solutions.
We participate in local and state task forces focused on addressing illegal dumping.
Sharing and Discussing
We host interactive workshops to discuss the root causes of illegal dumping, the effectiveness of past mitigation efforts and develop potential new interventions.
Cleaning Up Neighborhoods
We support projects to address hotspots and help communities prevent illegal dumping.
Hosting Events
We engage communities working to mitigate illegal dumping by hosting mattress collection events and increasing outreach efforts in affected areas.
