California agencies responsible for picking up illegally dumped mattresses from public right of ways can apply for financial help from the Mattress Recycling Council.
MRC has allocated $750,000 to fund this effort for 2016.
Eligible entities that wish to receive reimbursement, such as California local governments, certain permitted solid-waste facilities, and authorized solid-waste operations, must register and begin tracking the number of illegally dumped mattresses collected.
