MRC is interested in contracting with one media relations/public affairs consultant to assist with the Oregon Program launch (Jan. 1, 2025) preparations and on-going promotion of the Program thereafter.
Oregon’s Mattress Stewardship Act requires the Program to “Provide for public education, advertising and promotion of discarded mattress collection opportunities statewide and on a regular basis.” The Proposer will advise and assist MRC in fulfilling the consumer outreach strategy described in MRC’s approved Program plan.
Ideal Proposers will live and work in Oregon and be well-networked with local media to inform residents about how to recycle mattresses and generate positive media coverage. The selected Proposer will also collaborate with and encourage local elected officials and community-based groups to use their communication platforms (social media, newsletters, etc.) to promote mattress recycling opportunities.
