  1. Residents' e-Recycling Options

Wisconsin DNR: Electronics Recycling

TVs, laptops, cellphones and other electronics contain valuable materials that can be recovered through responsible recycling. Electronics also contain hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, that can harm human health and pollute the environment if not properly managed. Wisconsin’s electronics recycling law keeps millions of devices out of landfills and incinerators and creates recycling opportunities for state residents.

Wisconsin DNR -  Proper Handling of Used Batteries

  • Find Battery Recycling Locations:

Visit www.call2recycle.org or call 1-877-2-RECYCLE; many retailers participate in this non-profit program to recycle rechargeable batteries and have collection boxes in their stores.

  • Do NOT place batteries or electronics in curbside recycling carts or bins, because they may cause a fire if damaged by equipment in recycling trucks or facilities.
