Scrap Metal Removal in Madison
Updated
Short answer
Madison collects metal separately from furniture and lumber because metals and appliances are recycled and the rest is landfilled: mixed piles slow both crews. Medina, Verona, Sun Prairie and Fitchburg take scrap metal at their own sites. A crew hauling a mixed load does the separating.
Where metal goes
- Madison: set metal and appliances in their own pile on a large item work order, or take them to a drop-off site.
- Fitchburg Recycling Drop Off Site (2373 S. Fish Hatchery Rd): scrap metal, residents only.
- Verona Public Works site: items that are 50% or more metal.
- Sun Prairie Recycle Center: scrap metal and non-freon appliances, with a permit.
- Town of Medina: a yellow scrap-metal dumpster at the town site, doors and lids removed.
Grills go without propane tanks: the Dane County Landfill sends propane tanks to Clean Sweep. See scrap metal recycling around Madison.
Common questions
Scrap Metal Removal: questions
Why does Madison want metal in a separate pile?
Different crews collect the two piles: metals and appliances are recycled, while furniture and lumber go to the landfill. Mixing them slows collection.
