Mattress recycling fees on Shopify
Last updated: July 18, 2026 · CA rate $18.00 since April 1, 2026 (Mattress Recycling Council)
Four states require retailers, including online sellers, to collect a per-unit mattress recycling fee: California (18.00 USD since April 2026), Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Oregon. On Shopify, create one fixed per-product fee per state, matched by product type Mattress and the customer state condition, so each program's fee appears itemized on qualifying orders only.
The rule in FlexiFees (California)
| Setting | Value |

| Fee title | Mattress Recycling Fee |

| Amount | 18.00 USD per unit |

Program states
| State | Program | Fee basis |
|---|---|---|
| California | Bye Bye Mattress (MRC) | $18.00 per unit since April 1, 2026 |
| Connecticut | MRC | Per-unit fee, see current schedule |
| Rhode Island | MRC | Per-unit fee, see current schedule |
| Oregon | MRC (since 2025) | Per-unit fee, see current schedule |
Create one fee per state so amounts stay independent, and update them when the Mattress Recycling Council adjusts rates. The fee applies per unit, including foundations and futons; quantity is handled automatically.
Not tax or legal advice. Registration with each program and fee taxability are state-specific; verify with the MRC and your tax advisor.
