The Mattress Recycling Council offers consumer-education materials and resources for registered retailers at no cost. While stores aren’t required to use them, they are designed to help explain state recycling programs to customers. Included are:

• Information cards: These smartphone-sized cards, which can be attached to receipts or invoices, direct customers here for information about the fee and program-related matters.
• In-store posters: Available in three sizes, information posters briefly explain recycling laws in California, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Retailers can download them here.
• Recycling locator: MRC has compiled a recycling locator to help consumers find a collection site or recycling facility near their home.
• Customer Q&A: MRC also has written a frequently asked questions sheet that can be used by store management and staff to answer questions customers might have about the fee or the recycling program. Print a copy.
