Mission & Focus Areas
MRC’s stated mission is to establish an environmentally sound and cost-effective program for recycling mattresses where state laws require it, and to educate consumers, retailers, waste haulers, and others about collection opportunities, waste prevention, and recycling.
Its website describes funding opportunities for research on deconstructed mattress materials, recycling processes for polymeric components, and markets for recycled mattress materials. It also offers site-improvement funding for eligible public California mattress collection sites, with proposed projects intended to increase collection, protect mattresses from weather, or improve operational efficiency, safety, or cost.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, MRC reported 10 grants totaling $96,932. Grants ranged from $8,556 to $10,000, with a median of $10,000. All reported 2024 grant dollars went to recipients in California. The listed awards supported equipment and site improvements, including weather protection, ramps, forklifts, fencing, and safer loading.
The largest awards included $10,000 each to Blue Water Recycling Corp for a weather cover; Burrtec Kern LLC Met Rec for a mattress loading ramp; Caglia Env LLC Redrock Env and Caglia Env LLC Cedar Rd Trn for telehandlers for safety and efficiency; the City of Hanford for a ramp for a 53-foot trailer; the City of San Diego W Miramar for a forklift; and Mattress Mike for security fencing. Other listed awards were $9,376 to Salinas VSWAJolon Rd Land for a forklift attachment, $9,000 to 4G International for a forklift, and $8,556 to Salinas VSWAJohnson Can Land for base rock for safer loading.
MRC’s website lists research awards of up to $125,000 for each of two early-stage research areas and up to $200,000 for market-development proposals. It says research projects should address technical feasibility and notes that it is unlikely to fund incineration projects or proposals focused on existing uses of reclaimed mattress materials. For grants, MRC’s 2024 filing says it monitors progress through quarterly reports and requires a final report; reimbursement requests must include an expenditure sheet, quotes, and proof of payment.
