Recyclopedia Updates and Changes

March 11th, 2008 Molly

The 2008 Recyclopedia for the City of Madison is now available in English or Spanish with updates and changes, including new guidelines for computers, TVs and consumer electronics.

The city now offers a year round drop off recycling of computers, TVs, and consumer electronics.  As of January 1, 2008, the city no longer collects computer monitors, laptops, computer CPU’s and televisions at the curb.  These items require a $10 Appliance Sticker and must be brought to the two full-service drop off sites for recycling located on the East side at 4602 Sycamore Ave. and on the West side at 1501 W. Badger Rd.

Curb pick-up for other appliances also requires a sticker.  You can purchase an appliance sticker at your local library or online.  All Madison Public Library locations sell all varieties and increments of stickers:

• Appliance Sticker ($35)
• Appliance Sticker ($15)
• Tire on Rim ($10)
• Tire ($5)
• Computer Monitor, Laptop and CPU Sticker, Television ($10)

For more information, visit the City of Madison Appliance Sticker FAQs site.
