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.

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.
