MMSD's Household Hazardous Waste Program does not accept all items. We're providing the following list, as a public service, of places where you can properly dispose of certain items. You should check with your municipality to see if it offers disposal services for items not accepted at our hazardous waste collection facilities.
Wisconsin's electronics recycling law bans certain electronic items from landfills, such as TVs, computers, printers, and fax machines. It also creates a statewide recycling program called E-Cycle Wisconsin. There are many convenient electronics drop-off locations under the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources E-Cycle program.
The E-Cycle program is the state's first comprehensive system in Wisconsin for recycling electronics from households and K-12 public schools. Under the new program, manufacturers will bear the primary financial responsibility for the recycling of banned electronics.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, single-use alkaline batteries currently have little recycling value and may be safely thrown in the trash. Bring your rechargeable batteries to the MMSD Home Hazmat Collection.
Companies listed below may charge a fee for disposing items at their facilities. Call ahead for costs and hours of operation.
