The success of the Mattress Recycling Council’s (MRC) Bye Bye Mattress program in Connecticut is stacking up. After six years of steady growth, the country’s first statewide mattress recycling program has now recycled more than 1 million mattresses and box springs, resulting in the diversion of more than 18,000 tons of steel, foam, fibers and wood from landfill and incineration.
MRC’s 2020-2021 Annual Report submitted recently to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection highlights the latest efforts taken to continually strengthen the program and achieve performance goals.
