Raising Awareness and Educating Consumers
MRC raises awareness of the value of mattress recycling in Oregon
MRC has implemented extensive outreach to educate consumers about mattress recycling through its Bye Bye Mattress brand, which features a unique logo and consumer-facing website, ByeByeMattress.com. More than 4 million consumers have visited the website, which offers residents an easy locator tool to find their nearest mattress recycling location or event.
MRC provides extensive consumer education and outreach in Oregon.
This includes point-of-sale materials that explain the recycling fee, public service announcements, social media campaigns, digital communications and community outreach at events.
MRC works to stop illegal dumping and find new end markets for mattress materials.
In Oregon, we are currently conducting our first-ever Illegal Mattress Dumping Census and preparing to offer our Illegally Dumped Mattress Collection Initiative to local government agencies and solid waste facilities. A study on low-income and multifamily housing is also in the works. Cumulatively, these efforts will inform pilot project development and funding. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, check out case studies from other program states and read our white paper for local policymakers.
