Mattress Recycling
Help The Planet One Mattress At A Time
St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County (SVdP) is a world leader in mattress recycling. Our operations in Oregon and California have the capacity to recycle 300,000 mattresses and box spring foundations each year. In Oregon, our preferred mattress drop-off site is our facility at 1770 Prairie Road in Eugene. But see below to find the location nearest to you.
Mattress recycling
DR3, (Divert, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), a division of SVdP of Lane County, was the first commercially viable mattress-recycling business in the world. DR3 currently operates from two facilities in California, while SVdP also recycles mattresses from all over Oregon.
How does it work?
Mattresses and box springs are cut open by hand and separated into various components, including cotton, foam, wood and steel. These materials are baled and shipped out for recycling.
In addition to providing a benefit for the planet by keeping mattresses out of landfills, SVdP’s mattress-recycling program creates entry-level jobs for ex-offenders and others who have barriers to employment. We pay above minimum wage, provide benefits such as health care, and give people transferable skills that can help them find good-paying jobs in the community.
To increase our reuse and recycling rates, please try to keep mattresses as clean and dry as possible. We reserve the right to decline wet mattresses and/or items soiled with biological hazards.
We accept mattresses and box springs for reuse and recycling at most of our retail locations in Oregon. Please see details for each location below. Or use our preferred drop-off site for FREE mattress and box spring recycling at 1770 Prairie Road in Eugene, Oregon. More details:
