In some states, a mandatory mattress recycling fee is required by law. This fee is set by the state, not by Nolah and must be collected on every mattress purchase.
The purpose of the fee is to fund state-run recycling programs that help keep mattresses out of landfills.
These programs allow old mattresses to be collected, broken down, and reused in an environmentally responsible way.
Which states charge a mattress recycling fee, and how much is it?
Currently, the following states require a recycling fee:
- California: $16.00 per piece
- Connecticut: $16.00 per piece
- Rhode Island: $20.50 per piece
- Oregon: $22.50 per piece
Additional notes:
- The fee applies per item (mattress, box spring, or foundation).
- It is not a deposit and is non-refundable.
- The amount is determined by state legislation and may change over time.
If you’re seeing this fee at checkout, it means your shipping address is in a state where this charge is legally required.
