Welcome
Welcome to the Manitowoc County Recycling
Center Website. The Recycling Center is also known as a Material
Recovery Facility (MRF). Material recycling and waste reduction services
are provided to the Citizens of Manitowoc County. Many commonly recycled
materials are accepted on a year round basis and a variety of special
collection and education programs are offered to better serve the
community. The Basswood and Woodland Compost sites are operated
through the MRF. We provide educational outreach to promote the
important role that recycling and materials recovery has for now and the
future. The MRF is operated in partnership with
Holiday House of Manitowoc, Inc. serving people with disabilities
since 1957.

Starting
September 1, 2010 certain common electronics are
banned from the landfill.
Beginning
September 1, 2010, Wisconsin's Electronic Recycling Law bans
certain consumer electronic devices from landfills and
incinerators and establishes a collection and recycling system
in Wisconsin for households and K-12 public schools. This
means that the electronic items we use everyday can not be put
in the trash and can be recycled.
So what can someone do to dispose of their old, unwanted
electronics in Manitowoc County?

Curbside Recycling Guidelines
These guidelines are for curbside recycling picked up
by your contracted hauler. Be sure to contact your hauler for
specific guidelines or curbside pickup of questionable items. It
is recommend to place plastic bottles,
glass bottles and cans together in a brown paper bag inside your
recycling bin to keep them separate from the cardboard and paper

emptied.
