Garbage & Recycling

Services

The Village of Richfield does not have a municipal garbage program and requires residents to contract with private waste haulers for garbage and recycling. The three licensed companies in the Village of Richfield are Waste Management, Badgerland Disposal, GFL Solid Waste Midwest and Advanced Disposal Services. For additional information regarding our Transfer Station including hours of operation and questions about accepted material, please contact Village Hall.

The following is contact information for the four companies that currently provide service to the residents in the Village:

E-Cycling:

Wisconsin’s electronics recycling law was signed in October 2009 as Act 50. The law establishes a statewide program, now called the E-Cycle Wisconsin program, to collect and recycle certain electronic devices. It is based on a product stewardship approach, which assigns primary responsibility for collection and recycling to the manufacturer. The law also bans certain electronics from Wisconsin landfills and incinerators after September 1, 2010.

Items that can no longer be disposed of in landfills:

Televisions
Computers (desktop, laptop, netbook and tablet computers)
Desktop printers (including those that scan, fax and/or copy)
Computer monitors
Other computer accessories (including keyboards, mice, speakers, external hard drives and flash drives) DVD players, VCRs and other video players (i.e., DVRs)
Fax machines
Cell phones, digital cameras, iPods, etc.

The Village of Richfield does accept certain electronic waste although a fee will be charged to dispose of these items. These items are listed on our Recycling Schedule (PDF).

Items not accepted by the Village of Richfield can be recycled at several E-Cycle collection sites throughout the state. These sites are listed on a database for each County.

For further information on E-cycling, refer to the DNR E-cycling website.
