  3. 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.
