TV and Computer Disposal in Madison, WI

Short answer

Never put a TV or computer at the curb in Madison: the city may remove it and charge $30. Residents recycle electronics free at the three city drop-off sites. Other Dane County households use Clean Sweep at $15 per TV or monitor.

Madison

Electronics may not go in the trash cart, the recycling cart or at the curb (city ordinance 10.18). Broken units are removed immediately; working units get a warning first. At the drop-off sites, computers, tablets, phones, printers, TVs and monitors, game consoles, DVD players and cords are free for residents. Universal Recycling Technologies in Janesville recycles them under data-destruction certifications.

The rest of the county

Clean Sweep is an E-Cycle Wisconsin collector for Dane County households and K-12 schools only. Several suburbs also hold electronics days; see e-waste events. The DNR keeps a statewide list of E-Cycle collectors for businesses and everyone else.
