Yard Waste Program

The Village takes an active role to promote recycling in Sussex.  We encourage you to check out the following sites to learn more tips on recycling.           www.recyclemorewisconsin.org                 www.besmart.org

.

Did you know:

• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run your TV for 2 1/2 hours.
• Most plastics are recyclable, however not all plastics are recyclable everywhere.
• Recycling facilities work to keep similar papers together. For example, office paper, which has long fibers is worth a lot more than the "mixed paper" of cereal boxes, which has shorter fibers.
• All steel products contain at least 25% steel scrap, which requires 75% less energy to produce than "virgin" steel.

ELECTRONICS RECYCLING

October 26, 2009:  Governor Doyle has signed a bill banning computers, fax machines and other electronics from being dumped into Wisconsin landfills. To find a location to drop off your electronics go to www.earth911.com. Type in what you want to recycle and your zip code to find a list of centers near you.
