On July 25, 2024, Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approved a modified operating plan, including a budget and stewardship assessment to fund the program.

Per the plan, the program began on Jan. 1, 2025, and is funded through a $22.50 per unit stewardship assessment (fee).

In the meantime…

Those in the solid waste and recycling industries can continue to express interest in serving as a public collection site. Please contact our Oregon Program Coordinator by completing this service provider interest form. To learn more about collection site benefits, expectations and requirements view our collection site information sheet.

Those in the mattress industry must be registered. Visit MRCreporting.org to register or update existing profiles.

Brick-and-mortar and online sellers of mattresses and foundations for use in Oregon must also be collecting and displaying the stewardship assessment. Start becoming familiar with how to report and remit this fee to MRC because the fees collected in January will be due by March 3, 2025.
