Appliances

Owners must make their own arrangements for the disposal of appliances.

Disposal Options:

Alter Trading accepts many small appliances free of charge, call for details, (608) 783–8203.

D & M Recycling accepts cell phones, printers, humidifiers, and most small electronic waste free of charge. Microwaves are accepted for a small fee. They also take small appliances, call for details, (608) 783–3030

If appliances are reusable, connect with donation centers. Some places will pick up your reusable items. Here are a couple suggestions.

If appliances are not reusable, contact a hauler of your choosing to make arrangements for collection or drop-off. 

Harter's Quick Clean-Up
(608) 782–2082

Hilltopper Refuse & Recycling
(608) 783–6727

If using the city’s hauler, Harter’s, for collection:

  • Once fees are paid, collection is by route, bi–weekly, the same day recycling is collected.
  • Appliance can be placed at your regular refuse collection point by 5 a.m. that morning.

If using a hauler other than Harter’s for collection:

  • Make your payment and arrange a time and location for collection.
  • Place appliance near your house or garage. Do NOT place items curbside or at your regular refuse collection point.

Major appliances are defined as:

  • Anything with coolant or Freon
  • Air conditioners
  • Clothes washers and dryers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Dishwashers
  • Freezers
  • Furnaces
  • Ovens
  • Refrigerators
  • Stoves
  • Water heaters

Microwaves are considered electronic waste. These along with small appliances can be taken to the La Crosse County Landfill or Harter's Quick Clean-Up for a fee.
