Do you have extra mattresses or box springs at your home? Don’t throw them away, recycle those mattresses at Goodwill of Silicon Valley! While mattresses are not commonly recycled, Goodwill's mattress recycling program recycles over 90% of mattress materials. In 2016, Goodwill of Silicon Valley accepted and diverted over 40,000 mattresses from landfill. Goodwill's mattress recycling program creates jobs for veterans struggling with homelessness, unemployment, and substance abuse. In 2016, Goodwill served over 150 veterans and successfully placed 75 of those veterans into full-time jobs. Goodwill started this program in association with the City of San Jose and US Department of Labor, to provide jobs for Veterans who might struggle finding employment elsewhere. In 2015, Goodwill of Silicon Valley became a state certified mattress recycling facility. You can drop-off old mattresses and/or box springs at any Goodwill retail store for a $20 fee per item. You can also drop-off old mattresses and/or box springs for FREE at our main plant (at 1080 North 7th St. in San Jose) between 7:30am until 3pm.

The sale of donations in our Goodwill Stores is the primary source of funding for Goodwill’s training programs for people with barriers to employment. Why can’t Goodwill accept all my items? We greatly appreciate your desire to donate to Goodwill and know that you may have gone to a lot of trouble to deliver your donation or schedule a home pick-up. Here’s why we can’t accept items like those listed below: Goodwill’s goal is to provide jobs, training, and placement services to people facing barriers to employment. We finance these goals through the sale of your gently used clothes and household items.
When we receive donations that we are unable to sell, we are forced to pay disposal fees. Every truckload of unsellable goods is equal to three days of classroom instruction for someone whose goal is to get and keep a job. By reducing unsellable goods, we increase the revenue we can invest in helping people get back into the workforce. It is at the discretion of the Donation Ambassador to determine whether or not we will be able to sell your donated items. We hope you understand why your donation may be declined. Goodwill must say “No Thank You” to: Cribs, strollers, car seats, safety gates, etc. (Reason?
