Unlike recycling firms that may pay for materials and, in some cases, provide collection services, drop-off centers do not pay for materials and all material must be delivered to the facility.

The municipal drop-off centers are generally open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while the drop off centers at businesses are open only during regular business hours.  It is best to call ahead to make sure the facility is still accepting the materials listed, to find out the hours of collection and to make sure there are no special conditions.  The information here is current as of this listing, but that it may change at any time without notice.

This listing is intended to give you an idea of special materials that may be recycled or reused, but it is not a complete listing.  For more complete information, visit the Dane County Department of Public Works web site by going to www.co.dane.wi.us and clicking on the recycling symbol at the bottom of the page or directly to http://www.countyofdane.com/pwht/recycle/categories.aspx.  You may also call Dane County Public Works Department for more sources at 276-8815.
