Oregon

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.

Pursuant to the plan, the program will begin on Jan. 1, 2025, and be funded through a $22.50 per unit stewardship assessment (fee).

Those in the solid waste and recycling industries should check in frequently as we have started the process of connecting with stakeholders and building our network of collection sites.

If you have already expressed interest in being part of the collection network, we will be following up soon and initiating the contracting process.

We continue to collect information from locations interested 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 should become familiar with all of their company’s obligations. Visit MRCreporting.org to register or update existing profiles.

Brick-and-mortar and online sellers of mattresses and foundations for use in Oregon should prepare to collect and display this fee.
