Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.No, it is not legal to do this.It is a violation of Tennessee law to import or sell secondhand mattresses, and it has been since 2007.Reference:http://www.tn.gov/sos/acts/105/p...Actually the correct answer is “It depends.”
According to Title 68 - Section 15 - Part 2 which is what the bill below references, these provisions do not apply to individuals or households, nonprofits, and even retail establishments who clearly identify the mattress as being used.If a retail establishment does not CLEARLY tag the mattress per the law for tagging used mattresses, then it would be illegal.Basically the law makes it Illegal to sell a used mattress without representing it as used. This protects consumers from purchasing a mattress thinking it was new when it was used. Also why this law falls into the Title regarding protection and health.The amended section mentioned in the other two answers is the penalty for an organization or individual selling a mattress in a manner inconsistent with Title 68 - Section 15 - Part 203.So selling a used mattress that is truly sold as used is legal, with extra labeling if sold in a retail outlet.California was the third state in the nation to pass a mattress stewardship law, the Used Mattress Recovery and
Resources Code Sections 42985-42991, PDF, 166 KB), which established an industry-run statewide mattress recycling program to promote proper end-of-use management and increase recovery of valuable resources. This page provides information on the mattress stewardship law and its implementation. It is estimated that millions of mattresses and box springs reach the end of their lives in California every year. The bulky nature of mattresses and the limited recycling of used mattresses results in significant illegal dumping costs to many local jurisdictions throughout the state. The Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act supports a statewide effort to reduce the landfilling or illegal dumping of mattresses by establishing an end-of-use management program to encourage the recycling and recovery of discarded mattresses. Chapter 388, Statutes of 2013 [Hancock, SB 254] set forth the requirements of the statewide Mattress Stewardship Program. Chapter 371, Statutes of 2014 [Hancock, SB 1274] clarified definitions, report submittals, and record keeping requirements.
Below are basic descriptions of key elements of the law. The purpose of the Mattress Stewardship Program is to reduce the number of mattresses discarded to landfills, reduce illegal dumping of mattresses, and increase mattress See the law (PDF, 166 KB) for more definitions. In very basic terms, a mattress recycling organization, established by a qualified industry organization, designs and manages its own stewardship program,It prepares and implements a used mattress recovery and recycling plan to reach certain goals and reports annually to CalRecycle on its progress. CalRecycle approves plans and annual budgets, sets goals, checks progress, and provides oversight and enforcement to ensure a level playing field among program participants. A used mattress recovery and recycling plan, commonly referred to as a stewardship plan, outlines how a mattress recycling organization intends to fulfill its responsibilities under the law and communicates a course of action to stakeholders and the public.
to CalRecycle will be posted at CalRecycle’s Mattress Stewardship Program webpage. The mattress recycling organization funds the Mattress Stewardship Program through collection of a mattress recycling charge added to the purchase price of a new or renovated mattress sold in California. The amount of the mattress recycling charge must be approved by CalRecycle as part of the plan and budget approval process and shall be sufficient to meet the cost of carrying out the plan including administrative, operational, and capital costs. Maintaining a level playing field among program participants is addressed through a combination of civil penalties for noncompliance and transparency that allows all stakeholders and the public to evaluate progress. To be in compliance, the mattress recycling organization must develop and implement a CalRecycle-approved stewardship plan, submit annual reports on the progress of their program, and submit reimbursements to CalRecycle to cover CalRecycle’s direct costs to oversee and enforce this law.
The mattress recycling organization, recyclers, renovators, and solid waste facilities are required to submit annual reports to CalRecycle. Reports required of the mattress recycling organization include, but are not limited to, information on the mattress recycling organization’s cost and revenues, the quantity of mattresses disposed of in solid waste landfills and recycled in the program, the quantity of each category of materials recycled and the uses for those recycled materials, a description of methods used to collect, transport, and process used mattresses in the state, examples of educational materials that were provided to consumers, the total volume, number, and weight of used mattresses collected recycled, renovated, and reused in this state during the preceding calendar year including any conversion factors used to determine the number of mattresses recovered, and a report by the advisory committee. Reports required of recyclers and renovators must include, but are not limited to, quantitative information on the number of mattresses received
