Electronics Recycling

TVs, laptops, cellphones and other electronics are made out of valuable materials that can be reused through recycling. Some electronics contain hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, that can be harmful to human health and pollute the environment if not properly managed. Because of this, It is illegal to throw away certain electronics in Wisconsin. E-Cycle Wisconsin is a manufacturer-funded, statewide program to collect and recycle certain electronics used by households and k-12 schools.
