Disposal rules in California

California has a statewide mattress recycling program (Bye Bye Mattress), funded by a small fee collected when you buy a new mattress. Free drop-off sites accept used mattresses and box springs, which can shrink your junk load before a paid pickup.

California has a statewide electronics recycling law. Check local rules before putting TVs, computers or monitors out with regular junk, and expect haulers to handle them separately.
