We will be having our 11^th annual recycle days event at 3260 Walter Street in Oshkosh. We will take all makes and models of major appliances from 9am-5pm on Friday May 12^th and from 9am-3pm on Saturday May 13^th at NO CHARGE! We will take refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, icemakers, air conditioners, microwaves, disposers, lawnmowers, tractors, tillers, snow blowers, or any metal products and batteries. We also accept computer hard drives, cases and printers- NO monitors or televisions. All freon and oils will be removed and properly disposed of according to state and federal mandates.

This is a community service we do to keep old products and appliances out of peoples yards and homes in an effort to help the environment and the neighborhoods. Recycling helps clean up yards and keep kids safe. We also recycle those pesky appliances with freon, that if not recycled and dealt with properly will have lasting negative effects on the ozone. Old appliances can become safety hazards if left out and just take up space. We strongly encourage everyone to bring those appliances down to be recycled to help clean up our community for a better place to live and a safer place for our children to play and grow.
