Special Disposal Opportunities

The City recently received a grant from Ozark Headwaters Recycling and Materials Management District to host a city-wide recycling and donation event. A lot of organizing and preparation is going into making this event a reality in the fall of 2025.

Clean Green Recycling Extravaganza

Saturday, Oct. 4 at Hammon’s Field Parking Lot

Here’s your chance to recycle and donate those unused items. Join the Springfield Environmental Services and a host of recycling processors and non-profits for a one-stop event where you can get rid of your stuff while giving back to your community.

Full event details and list of items accepted to come this summer!

Dropoff is free for Springfield residents. All items must be transported to the event with no home pickup option available. No commercial waste accepted. No trailers will be allowed. No construction and demolition waste.

The following items will be accepted at no cost to residents:

General Trash and Bulky Items

The City will accept general household trash from garage and shed cleanups, furniture and other bulky items for disposal.

NOT Accepted: Yardwaste or limbs, hazardous waste (fluorescent bulbs, paint, oil, varnish, etc.), major appliances, items including chemicals, fuel or refrigerants, batteries.

Learn more about what items are not accepted at Springfield’s Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill.

Mattresses

Bulky mattresses are hard to dispose of and are also problematic for landfills as they take up a lot of space and do not compact well. Help keep these out of the landfill and recycle them!

Mattresses and box springs accepted. Limit 4 pieces per residential household. Items must be clean and free of infestation.

Tires

Recycling tires can help harmful chemicals stay out of the earth, water, and air. It can prevent tires from becoming disease-carrying-pest breeding grounds and can keep them from starting fires.
