Connecticut's mattress producer responsibility program (rebranded as "Bye Bye Mattress" but operated by the Mattress Recycling Council or MRC) began May 1, 2015. According to the MRC July 2 program update newsletter, more than 6000 mattresses were collected and recycled statewide in May, from over 60 cities, towns, and other large quantity generators in Connecticut.

The program is funded through a $9 visible recycling fee collected at retail from customers on each mattress and box spring sold in Connecticut. MRC will launch similar programs in California and Rhode Island in 2016; on July 1, 2015, MRC submitted the required stewardship plans to state oversight agencies for review in those states. MRC's proposed recycling fee, to be collected on the sale of each new or renovated mattress or box spring sold (then remitted to MRC) is an $11 recycling fee in California and a $10 recycling fee in Rhode Island.
