City of Madison residents can drop electronics off for free at the Streets Division drop-off sites: East at 4602 Sycamore Avenue, West at 402 South Point Road and Central at 1504 Quann-Olin Parkway. The City accepts computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, TVs, printers, phones and chargers, game consoles, DVD players, cords, holiday lights and small kitchen and bathroom appliances; its rule of thumb is that if it has a plug or runs on batteries, it probably takes it. There's no curbside pickup for electronics, so don't put them in your carts or at the curb, where the City may remove them and charge you. The drop-off sites are for Madison residents and property owners only, not businesses, and they ask for proof of residency. You can also use a private electronics recycler. Outside the city, Dane County Clean Sweep takes electronics from Dane County residents, with a fee for some items. Wipe or remove your data before you recycle a computer or phone.
