Mattress Recycling
Currently, California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon have enacted mattress recycling programs. These programs are funded through a visible recycling fee collected at retail from customers on each mattress and box spring sold in the state. The fee varies by state and applies to each mattress and box spring sold directly to California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon consumers. We are required by law to charge the mattress recycling fee on each mattress and box spring sold to consumers in participating states. The recycling fee is a flat rate regardless of mattress size or type. The recycling fee is charged per unit, which means that each mattress and each box spring is considered a separate unit.

The mattress recycle fees, applicable by participating states are as follows:

State	Fee per unit
California	$16.00
Connecticut	$16.00
Rhode Island	$20.50
Oregon	$22.50

You’ll see a flat rate mattress recycle fee per unit on your checkout total. As an example, for a California consumer ordering a queen size mattress set, the total mattress recycling fee would be $32 before sales tax is applied. Please note that the recycle fee does not count toward the free shipping order minimum, and is not eligible for earning or redeeming JCPenney Coupons and Rewards.

Effective January 1, 2020, futons have been added to California’s definition of “mattress.” We are required by law to charge a recycling fee of $16.00 on each futon sold. The fee and recycling obligations apply only to the futon mattresses and do not apply to the futon frames or bases.

Electronics Recycling
California Electronic Waste Recycling Act: Requires retailers to collect an advanced recovery fee when a consumer purchases new covered electronic products, such as televisions or laptops. The fee is deposited in a fund managed by the state of California, which was created to finance recycling of electronics. The electronics recycle fee will be itemized on your checkout total.
