About Victory Mission

When you recycle your mattress, you’re not just helping to protect the environment—you’re also supporting local workforce development. 

Here’s what happens to your mattress:

1. Recycle your mattress at any of the designated drop-off locations listed below for just $20 per mattress. Items must be clean, dry, and free from infestation.

2. The City of Springfield will contract Victory Mission to recycle your mattress.

3. People leaving poverty will gain essential skills as they’re equipped to enter the workplace. 

4. Mattress components are broken down, marketed locally, and diverted from the landfill.

Steel springs and coils from the mattress can be reshaped into artistic sculptures, functional wine racks, or garden trellises.
