  6. E-Cycle Wisconsin (manufacturer-funded electronics recycling)State program · WisconsinWisconsin residentsCost not listed
    How it works

    E-Cycle Wisconsin is the statewide, manufacturer-funded program under Wisconsin's 2009 electronics recycling law, run by the DNR. Manufacturers of covered electronics pay each year for recycling, which helps households and K-12 schools save on recycling at registered collection sites; businesses are not eligible. Fees vary by collection site, and many manufacturers offer free mail-back programs. TVs, computers, monitors, printers, cellphones and many accessories are banned from Wisconsin landfills and incinerators.

    Cost & rules
    Fees
    Collection-site fees vary by site (call ahead)Amount not listed
    • Televisions are eligible electronics under E-Cycle Wisconsin, and TVs are banned from Wisconsin landfills and incinerators.
    • Use a collection site or mail-back program registered with E-Cycle Wisconsin (DNR has a finder). Fees vary by site, so call ahead; many manufacturers offer free mail-back programs.
    • For electronics from Wisconsin households and K-12 schools. Businesses are not eligible and must recycle, reuse or manage electronics as hazardous waste.
    • Before you go: Disconnect the device from online accounts and erase personal data first; deleting files is not enough.

Places that don’t take televisions (2)

Before you go

  1. Note whether it’s a flat screen or an older CRT (tube) set; many programs price them differently.
  2. Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
  3. Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
