📣 Breaking News! We’ve got a new phone number: 715‑609‑1035.
Please save it somewhere safe — preferably not on a sticky note that will fall behind your fridge in 48 hours.

We’re basically out of Glen Flora, but we are still not collecting items yet.
Yes, we see you clutching that dusty DVD player. No, not yet. Put it down.

👉 Do not bug the new owner in Glen Flora.
👉 Do not drop anything off there.
👉 Do not treat the old building like a feral electronics dumping ground.

New location announcement coming soon. Stay tuned — the plot thickens.

A huge thanks to Jed & Susan from Junk Yard Jed for helping us get our small forklift along with a bunch of other stuff to the new shop today!

Big news: we’re packing up our Glen Flora shop and migrating to Ladysmith.
Where in Ladysmith? That’s top‑secret information for now. You’ll find out eventually… probably.

One tiny detail: we won’t be collecting electronics for a bit while we haul, shuffle, reorganize, and attempt to Tetris our entire operation into a new (and let’s be honest, *cozier*) space. How long will that take? We aren't quite sure yet. However we WILL still be collecting from certain businesses and such, don't be afraid to send us a message to find out more!

But don’t worry — your haunted electronics, mystery cords, and emotionally unstable printers will have a new home soon enough.
Clues are coming. Chaos is coming. The grand reopening will come…

FREE! We have some bikes, pianos, & more. Both pianos have a few funky keys, the bikes may need attention also.

Hey everyone! We wanted to give you a quick update. The building that we currently lease is in the process of being purchased by someone else, and while we sort out what our future space will look like we need to temporarily pause electronics drop‑offs from the public.

This is not a shutdown — just a short break while we make sure we have the right setup to keep serving you safely and efficiently. We’re still here, still operating, and still committed to responsible electronics recycling.

We’ll share updates as soon as we know more. Thank you for your patience and for supporting a cleaner, greener community!

We're a registered DNR E-Cycle Wisconsin drop-off location and we're open 9-4 Monday-Friday in Glen Flora!

Did you upgrade electronics this holiday season? Don’t just put your old phones, tablets or gaming devices in a drawer or closet to be rediscovered as ancient relics in 2030. And they shouldn’t go in your recycling or trash bin, either. Small electronics contain lithium-ion batteries that can cause fires in trucks and facilities designed to handle regular trash or recycling.

In most places, you can recycle these devices for free at drop-off sites. Some can even be traded in for cash or discounts. E-Cycle Wisconsin can help you find a nearby drop-off site or a mail-back program: https://wisconsindnr.shinyapps.io/EcycleCollectorSite/

We accept Li-ion & Ni-MH batteries at no charge! Alkakine batteries can go in your normal trash according to the DNR. And we are currently not taking Ni-Cad or button batteries (lithium primary) but those should be taped up so they can't get shorted out and possibly cause a fire, then save them for the next Cleansweep event in your area (charges may apply).

When you’re cleaning up after the holidays, make sure rechargeable batteries and electronics don’t go in your trash or recycling bin.

Many rechargeable batteries, especially lithium-ion, can spark when damaged. This causes fires in garbage trucks, at recycling facilities or at landfills. In 2023, fires heavily damaged three Wisconsin recycling facilities. There are also dozens of smaller fires each month, like this one at Outagamie County's recycling facility. You can help prevent future fires by taking your electronics and batteries to drop-off recycling sites.

We'll recycle those old Christmas lights for you!

Don’t know what to do with old, broken or burned-out strings of lights?

There are several recycling programs that will put the copper in light strings back to good use. Check with your local municipal recycling program to see if they accept them at a drop-off location. Some local scrap metal dealers may take them as well.

As a rule, holiday lights don’t belong in your curbside recycling bin because they can tangle up recycling equipment.

Learn more about what to recycle and find a list of local recycling contacts on our website: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Recycling/banned.html

We'll be closed Thursday & Friday of this week for Thanksgiving, and safe hunting everyone!

Today is International E-Waste Day! As the demand for smartphones, electric vehicles, solar panels and other technology continues to surge, so does the need for the materials that make them work, like the aluminum pictured here.

High-tech electronics recycling facilities – including several located here in Wisconsin – can recover valuable materials from electronics. The recovery of these critical materials can replace raw materials in the manufacturing of new electronics and lithium batteries.

A recent DNR survey found that Wisconsin households have an estimated 8.9 million unused TVs, computers, tablets and cellphones. Dig into your junk drawers, in the back of your closets and in that dusty corner of your basement. Don’t forget that box of random cables, cords and chargers.

Then visit our website to find a local electronics collection site or mail-back program to safely recycle your old gadgets: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Ecycle

If you find something especially ancient, share a picture!
