Round Ups and Special Collections
The Jackson County Recycling Department sponsors several special collections or round ups each year to address the recycling needs of larger or specialty products. A minimal fee is assessed for these types of collections to anyone bringing items for recycling. Specific details for each round up are noted below and are published in the local newspaper as well as advertised at each recycling drop site location.
Business Fluorescent Bulbs
In Wisconsin, businesses are required by law to recycle fluorescent bulbs that are utilized in their operation. Various types of bulbs from compact fluorescents, 4 foot or greater, circular, high intensity or shielded are accepted for recycling purposes. Jackson County Recycling is a collection site for these bulbs. They are required to submit a summary report, see below, with detailed information on the type and quantity of bulbs to the Zoning Department PRIOR to delivering any bulbs to the Recycling Center. Any expense related to recycling of business bulbs is responsibility of the business submitting the bulbs for recycling. Please place the used bulbs in a box that they may have come out of and label the box(s) with your business name and total number of bulbs contained in the box. Bulbs may be bundled together and taped into a bundle if a box is not available, write the business name and total number of bulbs on the bundle. For further information regarding business fluorescent bulb recycling, contact the Zoning Department at 715.284.0220.
Households are encouraged to recycle their bulbs as well, there is no expense levied to a household that donates bulbs.
